I dont think the events go all the way to the scenario finish, plus there is a bunch of other little things. I vote for Kursk and North Africa

The main reason Nemo never finished it, if I remember correctly, was that bombers coming in from the same base would stack themselves in the same square. So that when you shot them down, and more would respawn from events, eventually it got to the point where you'd shoot down 167 bombers with one attack, simply because the AI was that stupid.

There were a few suggestions of how to overcome this... make it so there was a fortress in every square, make more airbases so the bombers would have to come from different angles.... but it was disheartening. The AI seems to be tragically incompetent at the worst times.

if nemo wanted something better than red front maybe
but I've heard the scenario is quite difficult, I've never played it so I don´t know what to say

Korean war is pulling into the lead again it seems...

DarthVeda · May 6, 2003, 17:42

going once...

Shaka Naldur · May 6, 2003, 18:40

it seems that korean war is the winner, so how are you going to focus the scenario??

My vote is for a good Afrika Korps scenario, it will be very interesting

And yes, I'm doing a Spanish Civil War one

DarthVeda · May 7, 2003, 15:11

One suggestion would be to design it ala Red Front: Let the massed Communist hordes push the player (playing UN forces) back to Pusan. It should be a very punishing scenario, whereby, the player could lose 50% (or more) of the time.

There should also be a prolonged siege of Pusan, with the player trying to hold off the NKs, while waiting for reinforcements.

Through events, we could have the Chinese intervention; possible US use of nukes; the landing at Inchon; UN reinforcements coming into the port of Pusan, etc.

I vote for the Korean war. That would be a unique scenario.

to make it like red front it would be awesome, but very dificult for darth veda, what are you planing darth??

well Korea in real life wasn't a cake-walk and if the Us wanted to do better than a stalemate, it would have required more sacrifices than she was willing to give.
