Hello, folks.

I'd be interested in knowing how people rate the scenarios they've played in, from -5 (absolutely hated it) to +5 (absolutely loved it), with zero meaning mediocre, neutral -- that you neither liked it nor disliked it.

For example:

Battle of Britain 2008:  +4
Rangoon 2008: +3
Der Grosse Schlag:  +5
etc.

(or however you would rate them, of course)

The list of past scenarios (and when they ran) is:

Battle of Britain 2008 (November, 2008)
Rangoon, '42 (2008) (August, 2008)
Der Grosse Schlag (October, 2007)
Operation Husky (June, 2007)
Battle of Britain 2006 (September, 2006)
Operation Downfall (July, 2006)
Stalin's Fourth (April, 2006)
Fire Over Malta (November, 2005)
Coral Sea (April, 2005)
Rangoon, '42 (October, 2004)
Battle of Britain 2004 (August, 2004)

If you want info on any of them to refresh your memory, past rules writeups, AAR's, and pictorials are here:

I've only flown in 2 so far, but here is what I thought about them.

Battle of Britain 2008 (November, 2008) +1 (Flew RAF, bombers where too fast and next to impossible to take down )
Rangoon, '42 (2008) (August, 2008)+3 (Flew Allied, was fun, but there was no major action for the main group till the about last 30 min)

Only been to two of them.

Rangoon 2008:  +3  -  The plans were good, and Leads were very good at keeping order, however it seemed that we were a little too spread out heading to Rangoon.

Battle of Britain 2008:  +3  -  The Leads and communication was rather messy a lot.  We got things done in the end, but not as neatly as could be.

Overall fun, but there is always something that needs work. Smiley

Malta '05: +1 (there were playability issues and too many spit5s and hurr2cs against almost entirely 109E axis forces)

Stalin's 4th '06: +4 (I'm not big on GVs, or IL2s, but I did well in both throughout, so still high marks)

Op Downfall '06: +3 (low marks because I missed some of it, came back in town to find it was canceled after frame 3!!)

BOB'06: no rank (I didn't get to fly much, but I was CO, so I probably shouldn't rank it -- wouldn't be the same experience others had)

Op Husky '07: +5 (Loved the planes, the general scenario. Had some issues with some of the rules, results, and gameplay, but overall it was a blast to fly in!)

DGS '07: I shouldn't comment, I'm still sorry I let folks down on that one.

Rangoon '08: +3 (MAJOR issues with 250+ planes inside 5 square miles, not seeing bombers, not catching bombers, etc, other than that, I like the idea/setup)

BOB'08: +3 (just... can't... catch... those... bombers  FURIOUS! I don't like the way the rules are right now, so lower ranking)

BoB 08 was my first AH scenario, but comparing it to scenarios I flew in WB I'd give it a +3.  I would give it a 5 if we had the He 111, if there had been a one-rescue limit, and if the Luftwaffe had been announced the victors instead of the premise of the frame four.

DGS (Allied): +4, first scenario, good, solid fun, Fencer did a great job as the CO.

Rangoon '08 (Allied): +4, first time as a group leader, very enjoyable experience. Bearkats, Dantoo, and the rest of the command team made it a  fun time.

BoB 08 (Axis): +5, also as a FL and a bomber group leader, would have been a +4 but Kermit made it extremely enjoyable.

Battle of Britain 2008 (November, 2008)+5(Axis CO)
Rangoon, '42 (2008) (August, 2008)+4(Ju88 GL)
Der Grosse Schlag (October, 2007)+5(B17 GL)
Operation Husky (June, 2007)0(Boston III pilot)
Battle of Britain 2006 (September, 2006)+2(Ju88 pilot)
Operation Downfall (July, 2006)-5(Ki67 pilot)
Stalin's Fourth (April, 2006)0(M3 driver)


I'd say my ratings are based on a bomber's perspective.
Rangoon lost a point only because of the ICON issue with too many in one spot, but not sure exactly how to fix it for both sides.
DGS also had ICON issues, but the lovely terrain made up for that.  Smiley

Edit: Oh and BK, you couldn't use whole numbers?   Neener! Neener!
In Rangoon, DGS and Bob'08, all bombers flew 20-50mph slower than their top speed based on loadout and altitude in level flight.
