Pbem scenario recommendation for novice vs intermediate players

Post by kutaycosar »

Hey guys, I want to play a PBEM match with a friend who knows very little about the game. Could you recommend a nice, small scenario where the advantage is on his side? I'm looking for something that would also serve as a good introduction to the game mechanics. My only preference is that it shouldn't be a hypothetical scenario; except that any historical timeline is completely fine.

Two stock scenarios which come with the game seem to match your requirements.
Balkans 12, 14 turns, 139 and 106 units per side
Balkans 13, 11 turns, 77 and 107 units per side
Scenarios are straight forward battles with no mechanized, air or naval units to complicate the mechanics of movement, defense and attack. Suggest you read the scenario briefings before picking sides to play.
