Smolensk full game

[flip0009]

Ok, thank you for your insights. Seems to be "more balanced" is wrong wording.

I know the guys who put these together put in a lot of historical work and get the OOB for both sides. I would think they know the numbers of troops and vehicles involved in a battle fairly well. I also know they make decisions on the numbers each unit carries to mark its strengths and abilities. In the end it is just a dice roll. You guys are saying that Volcano choose "better" numbers and made "better" die roll charts.

Do the designers have a forum where they say what they think of the other designers remake of their game? I would like to read that.

I will copy and save my HPS version and overwrite with the Volcano. (Daydreaming, I would play both campaign games and I would be able to judge for myself. That would take over two years.)

I want to tell you guys again how great it is to play the campaign game. The little scenarios limit you with time and the map too much. You are really just a general. You are doing your job in the chain of command. In the campaign game, you are command. In Stalingrad I am playing with Yvan, I conceived a grand strategy and then reworked it constantly as soon as the bullets flew. I have not won yet and the game is only 125 turns in. The real work is the supply and command structure. I have learned to ignore objectives and concentrate on the disposition of my forces versus Yvans.

Oh, did I get demoted because I did not report a game for so long? I think I was once a master sergeant.
