Coming Soon to H2H

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Two new scenarios:

** The Spark on the Blues

11 January, 1943

Novgorod, 170km SSE of Leningrad: [Version 1.0] [H2H](Hypo-HISB)[EA or no][N V V] The Russians begin Operation Iskra, The Spark. 2nd Shock Army is tasked with gaining a bridgehead. The Spanish volunteers "Azul", those from the Spanish Blue division who remained with the German army, have been battling in this sector for quite some time. The German command knows that they can count on the Spanish. These volunteers have learned to fight as well as their German counterparts. They are tough as they come but, can they hold the line against the crush of so many Russians who desire their elimination. The "volunteers" have been shifting some assets and preparing for withdraw to new lines when the Russians finally struck. The frantic calls of incoming tanks and Russian air attacks fill the radio net. The Spanish soon learn that this is the real thing and not a probing attack. All the "blues" wonder where this will lead.


** Baring Their Teeth

15 October, 1941

Butyrki, 90km N of Kursk:[Version 2.0][H2H][Hypo-HISB] [EA or not][N V V] Hitler's shift of Guderian's Panzer Group into the Ukraine caused a delay for Army Group Center's, and it's own participation, in the attack on Moscow. In order to shift out of the Ukraine and turn Northeast toward Moscow a small battle was fought on ground that was to be recognized almost a year and a half later. The small town of Butyrki was to be the site of this battle. At Butyrki the Russians collected some mixed forces to block roads and stall the German advance. Russian units decimated by earlier German victories, were cobbled together and reinforced by militia groups that were pressed into service to save the Motherland. No cheering here by local's who wished to be "liberated" by the marching German forces. The Russians settled in to delay and resist, using tactics that would slow down and stall all movement that could take Germans soldiers closer to Moscow. As the Germans moved through Butyrki the Russians bared their teeth. A grimace or the smile became a frightening symbol of Russian resistance.

Each scenario is 20 turns long and SM 3 (club sm). Look for their posting to the testing area. I'd like to hear any and all tester feedback. These two scenarios have been played out by a varied number of personal member/friends and they should be close to balanced. But, I want non-biased eyes to give them a try. Even those who have already tested them can sign up and have an experience against other opponents. :chin:

Testers who will stick with the tests should sign up. I'd just like you to let me know what you think? :smoke:

They have been uploaded to H2H for testing. Have fun! :chin:

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Thanks to those who, thus far, signed up to test. Much appreciated! :thumbs_up:

We could use a few more?
Those who do not normally test but want to contribute, it would be great to have you join in. That would provide pure data that we have not gotten from those who regularly test scenarios? :chin:

I just put up a thread at "Normal threads" to find a partner... Here's hoping someone (or something :P ) bites!

EDIT: Slot filled :)

Hi Ed, I submitted a very long test result. But I got an error message after pressing the subm,it button.

Once I figure why it would not take my submission I will try again. But it will not be as detailed this time. the first one took me 15 minutes to complete. I wish I had made a copy.

Anyway your work gets very high marks. If someone knows what the problem is , plese direct me how to get it to work.

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Phillip,

I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty with the system.
Most of the problems stem from the member not being "logged in". :chin:

I do hope your issue is resolved soon. Have you reported this on the general forum under "bug reports"?

[Crossroads]

Phillip, wanna let me know how the battle ended? :P

This does happen when you are not logged in! :hissy:

It is on my "to fix" list, but as usual i have no idea when our Webmaster might be able to fix it. :(

I can only say sorry that you lost your report.

Tried agian successful. Ed congratulations on a very fine scenaio. I would highly recommend it , especially for play with EA on

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Thanks Phillip. I await the rating from your opponent.

I am trying to understand design and how it fits with EA on or not. When I tested it against human opponents the Germans had a really tough time against the Russians. When I played as the Germans I believed that EA would help the Russians. It was a two edged sword that I thought players could decide upon. :chin:

I read your review and thank you for testing it out! :)
