Then I suppose the next Q is are you looking to play with a PBEM opponent or yourself? Some scenarios play a good PO or AI. Others don't.

If you look at the ladders, you'll get an idea of what is popular and play balance. Best place for this IMO is The Blitz. Rugged Defence for scenarios. Or Strategy Zone Online.

Hope this helps.

Another Suggested Scenario - 6/22/2006 4:03:26 AM

Status: offline 		A COW short scenario which I have enjoyed in PBM is Franco-Prussian War 1870. It’s 12 turns and contains elements of maneuver, offense and defense. Plus the scenario provides an example of what TOAW can do outside the WW II time frame. Can be played both PBM and against AOwPI from either side.

This scenario comes in both COW and COW XIX versions.

It came with the game. "Classic Scenarios" folder, or something like that.

That'll happen. It's not a very balanced scenario.
