BoB - 1 day-1 week victory conditions

[simovitch]

After several playings of the 1 day and 1 week scenarios as British VS the AI I'm convinced that these cannot be won by the Brits.

To test my theory I played 1 day as the German side and launched a single raid against Tangemere with a group of un-escorted Stukas. Foolhardy slaughter you say? I still won the scenario!

IMO the victory conditions need to be re-evaluated because while the effects of new OOB's are fine, I think the Brits used to rely on more kills, or on damage results to German planes to result in more crash landings and more points. (were crash landings toned down with the new OOB's? it sure seems like it...)

one day, the LW should win

(one thing to remember, which i have always disliked with the system, you win one day, you won for that day, you didn't win the battle or the war)

7 day, the LW has a chance, testers won the 7 day 41 RAF battle, vs the AI, and that is much tuff on the RAF then the 40 BoB

30 day battle, the LW has a "chance"

full battle, I think only a Human LW has a chance

(one thing I want to ask Harley is if he can set it up, so I can change the VP needed based on player (18-20 for the AI is a good battle, easy win for a player)

HS - do the new OOB's reduce the likelyhood of damaged planes crashing while landing?

[Hard Sarge]

no, that is still based on damage to the plane, and bad luck
