Scenario Size

[Gerry4321]

Hello:

Wondering what is the range in scenario size in terms of number of units - can you relate it to the demo scenario "Return to St. Vith"?

Thanks,

Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Markshot compiled an scenario complexity analysis for BFTB (see the sticky post). I see that this is available for download from the Member's area if you are a registered owner of BFTB. I just checked, and it seems that the link there is broken.

Does anybody have a copy at hand?

Return to St Vith is on a map of about 150km2 and forces are about divisional strength I believe.
A scenario like HTTR's from the Meuse to the Rijn is on a map more like 2000km2 and the allies have about 4 divisions.

Thanks. About how many companies, and therefore counters, in a division? And is "From the Meuse to the Rijn" one of the largest scenarios?

Average division has 2-3 bde/kmpfgrp, each of 2-4 btn, each btn 3-4 coy.
I am currently in a scenario of my own making with corps strength on both sides (3-4 div apiece, + corp level assets equivalent to an additional 3 btn each.
I think "from the Meuse to the Rijn" is one of the largest stock scenarios, but I know several including myself have messed with larger.

As a rough rule of thumb work on 100 units per division.

Thank you.[:)]

Would be great if in the scenario description it mentioned the size of the scenario and difficulty.

I do not see "from the Meuse to the Rhein" listed, is there another page?

[Mahatma]

That was the only page.

The list shows BFTB scenario's, not HTTR scenario's. Meuse to the Rhine is HTTR scenario if I am not mistaken.

[Gerry4321]

Thanks for the great data.

from the Meuse to the Rhein is a HTTR scenario; sorry for any confusion but I believe it is larger than any BFTB scenario by a decent margin and shows the scope of this game engine and what's available.
