Old Scenarios

[josephw]

I've only had the game foe a few months, very happy with it by the way, and I've noticed that there a lots of great scenarios avaliable all over the place, but I was wondering if there is a way to update some of the V1 scenarios so I could play them on V3

Our friend Japlance has converted a bunch of scenarios

[ColinWright]

Note that because of increased AA effectiveness, reduced early turn ending, and probably other things as well, converted scenarios may play significantly differently than they did when originally designed.

Amount AA eqp needs to be lowered then, you know by what factor?

Depends. For example, a lot of equipment has an AA value of one. That used to be marginal, now fifty or so such weapons in a unit make quite a killer.

For what it's worth, in one scenario, I've divided ship AA by five, the value of AA guns proper by three, and modified the rifle squads so they have no AA value. Something like that. It would depend what the effect of the AA fire is and you think it should be.

OK, that's a pointer thanks, but as usual a little experimenting will be needed

Be aware that version 3.3 (assuming it ever gets posted) will factor AAA lethality by 0.4.

Why not?

I'm willing to pay... for it. Can't stand the jumping sceen no more...

Oh definitely. For one thing, what's appropriate for one scenario won't be appropriate for another. TOAW assumes that all battles are essentially the same. That's a useful concept -- but hardly an unqualified truth.

Really, one would need to have some familiarity with what actually happened in each case. Then play the scenario, and adjust things until the results start to resemble what actually occurred. I.e., if SG 103 supported the attack on the infantry division at _____ and historically felt quite chipper afterwards, with two planes damaged and one shot down, something's wrong if the scenario's yielding losses of 28 out of 36 aircraft engaged.

Of course, all that would be a lot of work...
