Status: offline 		On the Unity of Command homepage image #7 shows a scenario menu. They are labled Axis or Soviet and easy or medium. My questions are can the scenarios be played from both sides, and are there any hard scenarios? Also can the difficulty be adjusted?
Thanks.

Difficulty can not be adjusted. That only represents scenario difficulty in general. As is, start with easy scenarios first if you won't play campaign :)

Status: offline 		There are several hard scenarios and scenarios can be played from both sides in a way (hotseat/multiplayer), but not in the campaign and not with the AI controlling the side that acts first as far as I know. So you can't play "Axis" scenarios as the Soviets against the AI as the Axis, unless I'm missing something. The scenario difficulty itself can't be adjusted because it depends solely on the scenario.

There isn't a way to adjust the difficulty.

Status: offline 		Thanks everyone.
Instead of starting a new thread I'll ask this here. I feel that a new title needs as much publicity as possible so I'm curious as to why this title gets no mention that I can find on the Slitherine site?

Thanks!

In the scenario labeled PVP, both players have objectives to take, so both have to think offensively and defensively. The other scenarios, when played two players, one replaces the AI and only has to defend against the other. The defending player just has to run out the clock.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Correct. It represents the difficulty level for a human offensive player against the AI.

We tested this extensively, and while these ratings are not unanimously shared between different testers, there was a reasonable measure of agreement on this.

Other than trying to cut off your supplies, which the AI will almost always do, it reacts to what you do. The AI is always on the defensive.

And there are two campaigns, Axis & Soviet

Status: offline 		@tombo: In general no. AI plays same actions for same situations. There are very few randomness inside AI which are not crucial.
Quite important to mention is, because system complexity, for slightly different situation AI actions can be quite different. Also because of randomness in combat, different combat result can diverge AI actions.

@freeboy: Campaigns are played only against AI. It is discussed in this thread.
