Curtis Lemay -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/26/2017 2:40:05 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: larryfulkerson quote: ORIGINAL: Curtis Lemay I'm testing my "Shiloh 1862" scenario. (The one that shipped with the game was created so late that it went out the door untested other than PO vs. PO). I'm on my fourth trial. The three aborts so far have each triggered significant changes. But I think I'm about there with the latest. I volunteer to playtest it for you. Thanks, Larry. But let me get it working first.

Tried to start a D21 campaign but, quickly became overwhelmed with new data and details. So, I'm playing the Korean War tutorial while referencing the manual. Think I'll try a medium sized scenario before jumping into the big win.

Think I'll try a medium sized scenario before jumping into the big win. May I recommend the Road to Moscow series of scenarios? I playtested a few of them and I was impressed. They are small, play quickly, and cover all the tactics and strategies that are needed in a "regular" scenario. I'd like to know your impressions of them.

I'm currently playing Barbarossa 41 (PBEM) and Oper. Typhoon (PBEM) and D21 (vs. PO)

From TOAW 3.4 Road to Moscow is good for 5-10 turns but then the Russia AI just turns to water and there was no challenge. Maybe things have improved with the internal AI dyanamics but, unless RtMs tracks and releases were improved I doubt it is much more difficult. Still it is a great setup and I'll probably play the "What If" again. I probably won't be happy when I've remastered the game on any scenario that wasn't designed for a real single player challenge though with all the new features. So, I'm aiming at D21 before New Years even if it means my Wehrmacht will get wrecked.

On the beta development board I found evidence that Rob Kunz spent an enormous amount of time on the scenarios and at one point I was one of his playtesters and I can say with assurance they have been redone and reworked and so on. So I'd really be interested to hear your impressions of the new version(s).

Kiska Isl Invasion '43, playing allies. Good hypothetical well balanced. This version of TOAW has finally sunk in for me. The light has come on. I'm thoroughly enjoying this game for the first time. Salute to the makers!

Im actually playing over 10 scenarios :)

Dr. Foo -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/26/2017 11:03:22 PM)
I'm too busy creating maps and scenarios in the editor! After playing the first few turns, going back to the editor and tweaking, then adjusting some more, then adjusting the map, then playing the turns over again...by the time I get the game ready to play, I'm sick of it. [:D]

Braunshweig x2 EA x2 - another playtest [:D]

Europe Aflame and Campaign for South Vietnam. I have a game verus the Allied PO in CSV ready for the final NLF offensive. It is hopeless for the Free World Allies (FWA) to win by VP. Against a human player the PO will be unable to hold Saigon to the end against someone with even a little experience. I had thought about switching sids with the computer player and making a last stand with ARVN. An AAR of holding the last enclave might have been worthwhile since we so seldom see the end game. In the end I just can't give it the time. (Note: After total US withdrawal the PO Events that cause problems changing computer player in this scenario have little or no impact.)

quote: Game started at the whole 6 months campaign, but has since morphed to just the crisis in October. I started out to do a North Vietnam/China/Russia vs Allies ( including the US ) with a map covering just the appropriate theater and got started on the map and quit about a week later and gave up the whole project. Too much frustration with the editor. This was back when TOAW III was new.

As a Great War Fan, (yes it's obviously insane...) trying to play Mr Mc Bride The Great war_2.0 on face to face with Myself^^

A truly masterfully made scenario, a study of late war breakthrough and exploitation operations.

Keep up a comfortable pace and know when to quit. But most of all don't do it if it's not fun. Doing it when it's not fun will just burn you out faster.

thats true.

Devast8or -> RE: What are you playing now? (12/28/2017 11:34:32 AM)
I'm currently playing Red Thunder II against the PO. I'm surprised so few are actually playing scenarios post WWII. I also had one PBEM started but my opponent stopped replying 2 turns in. Can I somehow remove that game from my waiting for turn list? It's been there for over 2 weeks now.

If I were you I'd post something in the Tech Support section and see what happens next.
