How to decipher scenario names

Post by cbelva »

I didn't see this in the manual, so my apologies to Capn Darwin if it is there and I missed it. It may be helpful if you understand how scenarios are names when trying to select a scenario to play. I have attached a chart that should help you. The order is Side/Size_NATO Nationality.

This was said in another thread, but I would highly recommend you start with the smaller scenarios. I recommend "A Time To Dance". It is small and it is a fairly wide open scenario for the American side.

2 questions:

- No scenario designed to play with SU ?
- What is the letter "H" (as the first letter of the scenario name)

What is SU? Soviet Union? If so, the scenarios marked W are setup to be played from the Warsaw Pact side.

H is for Head to Head. That's a 2 player game version.

Good Hunting.

Hot seat yes. Both Hot Seat and PBEM++ games would best be played from the Head-to-Head scenarios.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Just to go a step further the AS, BS, WGS the S is Soviet. So down the road a WGEG will be West German vs East German or BP British vs Poland, etc.
