Scenario Charlie Exit (Fictional)

BigAl737 · #1 January 2nd, 2009, 04:27 AM

I recieved winSPWW2 as a much appreciated Christmas present and jumped right into scenario creation. I'd like to use this fictional scenario and map as a base from which to start learning good scenario design so I can create a campaign someday. I'd really appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

I like it, but you gave the germans too much MG's, and a LT.COL commanding a company? a major/lieutenant/captain maybe?
EDIT: There are some high hedgerows, you placed one over the other, quite a common mistake, but it blocks YOUR and the ENEMY's LOS btw; how about a pre-game smoke bombardment?

Thanks. Too many MGs making it too tough to win or too many based on historical German MG/squad ratio? I kept the LtCol just because the game assigned a LtCol to command A0. I can rerank him.

It makes my troops get shreded early on, and a pre-game bombardment would help, even if its only smoke

I liked it. Got a MV in 15 turns. Probably could have done better if I didn't advance too quickly and took too many casualties from the MG's.

Thanks Double Deuce.

I completely spaced the high hedgerow feed back from iCaMp. I did that accidentally but then liked it because I made the LOS unpredictable. I figured hedgerows are probably like that. Never been to France to check it out for myself though.

Originally I had a pre-game bombardment on Hill 107. My son said he'd prefer to assign it himself on turn one and then start moving the Americans up on turn 2, so I replaced it with just a registered hex on Hil 107. I think I'll add a pre-registered hex for smoke. There's probably as many answers as players but which hexes would you most likely smoke in a pre-game smoke bombardment?

Thanks for the input. It's much appreciated.

I've been in normandy, northeastern france and the french alps in the south, in normandy, they're used as fences now

IIRC about 6 feet tall, by 1944, i think they had the same height , so height 5 to 10 seems ok, if you need advices on mapping france, northern spain, eastern belgium, feel free to tell me, i can be of some help
