Hell Over the Hinterland design (Feb/March 2017 scenario)

[Zimme83]

why not just drop the scoring? The individual stats could be kept but does it really matter if side A destroys 4 Buildings more or have their way with more sheeps than side B?

Now that's just crazy talk man, don't mess with the sheep scores!!

ROC, you are welcome, and I completely understand.  You are a good man (I know this -- independent of AH factors -- because how you have described your daughter makes me know you are a good dad, which is the most-admirable thing a man can be, in my book).  You love scenarios.  You love the game.  All of that is admirable, you know! 

Now, I just have to figure out how to keep you, Vudu, Redtail, Ditto, Devil, and the rest of you Luftwaffe cutthroats from killing me as much as in Tunisia!

I hear you.

Like you, I (for my own enjoyment) don't care about score.  I care whether or not flying in the event is like reading actual accounts from the battle and about how well (or poorly) I think I did given my own level of skill.  Some folks are like that, and for us, we could do without a score and be happy.

A substantial portion of other folks, though, do want a score and to know in the end who won according to the score.  They want to play it like a sports tournament.  For them, we have a score, and so I do my best to have a score that is balanced.

That's easy, just fly Luftwaffle

I do like flying axis about half the time.  I even have very fond memories of flying in scenarios in the same group as Herr Ditto, where we had a blast tearing it up in FW's.  In this one, though, there are guys I recruited into the game who want to fly bombers and so went allied.

May I recommend a Saturday of Netflix?

That would do it -- but I have an evil plan.  I have modified our Typhoons, which now look like this:



We are going to your bases by tunneling under the surface of the earth, where your Luftwaffe aircraft are no good to you.

Then, of course, all your base are belong to us!

[ROC]

Oh that's alright.  We have so many spare parts from the Allied junk littering the terrain that we are equipping our F8s with B17 upper, lower and tail guns.  The bomb bay doors were tough, but a twin engine loaded F8 is a monster.

The F-8s are just starting to come out of the paint shop
