<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I'm gonna have to disagree with you. Just given that making scenarios is voluntary, I don't think it is possible for a scenario to get an "F" (failing) grade. If you can start it up, and it runs without bugs, glitches etc., then it is at least a "D" for effort. I teach ...

<t> This point has been made already in a round-about way, but to me in addition to the points made above a scenario (at least if historical but also in alternative histories) must be able to meet the players expectations. I just played a scenario from another company (it doesn't matter which game ...

<t> Next War with out a doubt. I loved it when it was an SPI game and its great on TOAW.<br/>
<br/>
One thing about the NATO-Warsaw Pact thing is since the fall of the USSR the documents recovered from East Germany indicate that the WP was going to use 300 to 400 Tac Nukes in a first strike. I ...

<t> Well thanks for your insights. I do try to ensure the historical ooutcome can be reached in any scenario I design, but I also like to (prefer to) explore the what ifs. In Chinese Farm '73 I tried to allow for the IDF turning north instread of south or seizing the crossing near Ismailia. In "On ...

<t> Checkered HQ units...<br/>
<br/>
It also depends upon how the designer used them! I tend to use the checkered HQ units/icons as Alternate Divisional HQ's. Some armys used them in case the Divisional HQ was hit and for greater command & control. The IDF during the Yom Kippur War, 1973 is a good ...

<t> I have a question about the equipment editor?<br/>
<br/>
Who will control the values for the equipment? Take the Merkava Mark IV if you take 20 wargamers or tank experts you will get 20 different opinions on its capability. If I design a sceario using values I think are good and "General ...

"...crashes your computer?"

Is there an inside joke here that I'm missing?

<t> Most armys do this and in the case of the Israeli Defense Forces it is (and has been) SOP. Many times they will take several smaller units and on the fly assign them to a commander creating an Ad Hoc Brigade or Division (Udga). This units have no formal structure and may be very fluid in their ...

<t> Question, just what is a sucessful scenario? I've been hit by a few folks (E-mail) because my Israel's WoT 2006 is ahistorical. Well yes it is and I designed it to be that way. I designed the scenario for folks to explore the possibilities and to consider the limitations the IDF/IAF are under in ...

<t> Any feedback on the revised scenario?&nbsp; I had the Syrians come in when I wasn't ready and their long range SSM's decimated the IAF before I could react.&nbsp; BTW, If you take on Syria, I&nbsp;suggest using your Airmobile/Paratroop Brigades in hit and run strikes against the Syrian SSM's ...

<t> I did Bastogne 1944 for TOAW:COW using the Westfront Quad boardgame as a basis for the scenario. Not sure if it will convert over into TOAW III. Also Chinese Farm '73 is a relatively short scenario. I remember someone did a pretty short Grenada scenario (hard to do a long one there!!!!!).<br ...

Just submitted version 2.0 to RD and The Depot.

<t> "- Why don't you use a 2.5km/hex scale map? The map in Peter Szabo's Lebanon 82 scenario would be a great starting point.'<br/>
<br/>
Because I used my Christmas "War 1991" with the OOB pretty much fleshed out. Also I wanted Syria (and the Golan Heights) to be a potential player and if I ...

I thought the Mideast 1967 map was a 5 km map? Maybe I'm wrong, but if so one would just have to update thge roads the IDF built in the Sinai & Golan.

Traditionally (in old board games) the IDF has been in White and Blue from the Israeli Flag.

I'm going to continue to use the Bradley IFV. It may be overkill to use a Bradley to represent the Achzarit, but I think the Achzarit is better than the BMP.

<t> Barak Battalion - Gdud 12 <br/>
* Gideon Battalion - Gdud 13 <br/>
* "Golani Buds" - <br/>
* The Egoz Reconnaissance Unit (a company) <br/>
* The First Breachers' Battalion (HaBokaim HaRishon) - Gdud 51 <br/>
<br/>
Not a bad suggestion.&nbsp; One reason I&nbsp;named them&nbsp;TF's is ...

<t> Well I did one on the Sinai and one on the Golan as seperate scenarios. If I'm understanding you, you'd like them linked. The map you describe is out there but I don't know about the time to get into that type of detail. Like I said I have a 4 month old who is ill, so I do this when time allows ...

<t> Am working as fast as I can (with a wife, 3 year old and 4 month old fast is a relative term) on an update and am pretty close...<br/>
<br/>
In addition to the changes below, I will likely add Irregular units which become active in key hexes if the IDF occupied and then departs key hexes ...

<t> I suggest a trip to the local Library, <br/>
<br/>
1. Trevor Dupuy's "Elusive Victory" is a very good initial source.<br/>
2. Refine the brigade designations using Sam Katz's "Israeli Tank Battles"<br/>
<br/>
Honestly as with most things IDF this will also drive you crazy. Some sources use ...
