Matrix Games Forums

I appreciate your time and the effort you put in your reply. As most any game I realize the manual is the main source for learning the nuts and bolts and that is usually found in the manual. Other than an index and a turn or two tutorial (had to get that in) I can tell that one couldn't have done much better writing one. The manual as it now stands is one of the best I've seen. For me, I realise that BAB is perhaps the one game I have always wanted to play all these years. I'm sure that the investment in time will reward me for many hours to come. I commend all for the concept and the efforts putting this game forth.

I thank you four the advice and it will be heeded. Looking forward to playing this system's scenarios.

well is there a "default/historical/average" difficulty level?

yes, and it's set up by default as the standard level so is around Second or First Lieutenant, any higher than that, and it increases the difficult and makes the outcome less historical, regarding casualties and activation failures etc

Im just starting out with BaB ( Im an experienced wargamer ) and I jumped into Captain difficulty which seemed fine..., but I was curious about all the difficulty levels and why.....so I searched the forum about it and landed here. So it seems if Im not mistaken, would like confirmation, that to have the most historical as we call it we set the difficulty to Second or First Lieutenant?.........Im a bit confused lol

What settings do you use when playing against the AI?

Cheers.

I don't remember offhand which level is the most "average," and am away from my notes, but I think that "captain" or "major" should be in the right ballpark. I don't believe that the difference between two adjacent levels is so great that it can be easily noticed, but jumping up to "major general" or some such setting should pose a much greater challenge.

Thanks...I'm into the full Williamsburg scenario on "Major"setting, cant explain why but it feels a little more controllable than Lt Col.
