Small Scenarios?

Post by joblue »

Can anyone give me an idea which scenarios (aside from the tutorial) are of a managable scale to a newcomer. It is quite daunting to try to grasp so many units for a beginner.

Thanks

Hi and Welcome:

I play small (quick) scen alot. The easiest way is: Go to Preferences and change battle points to 200 for both sides. Now in the main window choose make a battle...let the computer build a map for you (or create your own, like I do...really fun!). Now you and the AI will only have 200 points to purchase units with. 200 is the lowest mumber, I think. You, of course can choose the number that works best for you. Hope this will get you into the game...Small unit action is tons of fun!

Try 'Taking teutzpunkte 11'. Great little scenario.

Hey JoeBlue,

As you run through the scenarios, look at the turn #. Usually short scenarios (12 turns or less) are of the smaller variety.

And they have always been my favorites. There are a number of quick play before supper scenarios. Try these:

012-Breakout from Borisov
013-Carred As
026-A Simple Command
029-Raiders Ride to Work
042-Wittmann's Rampage
045-Here We Stay
050-Jungle Rats
052-The Real Thing
054-A Meeting of Devils

We will be including more. This was a good question and we'll post these in a separate topic...WB
