New Gigantic WW2 Scenario is coming

[klesh]

You could release the hard version first, and see how much call there is for the easier version... It may save you from having to make the second version.

I just want to get me hands on this as soon as possible!

I agree with the Field Marshal, perhaps there is no need to make an easier version. I think players who have problems to win your scn can always expect strategy help from the scn experts here (not from me ).

There are other ways to make a scenario "easy" (playing on the "Chieftan" difficult setting being the most obvious), so I have to agree that you should just release the hard version right now and wait for more feedback, we have a lot of scenario experts here. ::glances in Xin Yu's general direction::

This scenario sounds great, I can hardly wait to try it.

The game is playtested for every 10 nations and here are the summary of the results:

Axis - playable. It is possible (but very hard) to conquer early via blitzkriegs Allies or Soviet Union (but not both). Later war in one front is winnable.

Allies - too hard. Rommel's advance in North Africa and to Middle East is proved to be unstoppable. Battles for Britain and on Atlantic are always lost and German bombers have weakened English forces enough to allow successful Sealion.

Soviet Union - too hard. Nobody has succeeded to stabilize the front after the beginning of Barbarossa. Some players have tried unorthodox strategies:
1. Conquer Scandinavia, go to war with Allies and invade Britain. Axis still win via Sealion.
2. Conquer Turkey and invade to Middle-East. No help against Rommel.

France - too hard. Loss of mainland and Syria is unavoidable but in North-West Africa is possible to put up good fight because Rommel's main aim is Suez. Problem is that usually Spanish will join with Axis and are too strong for you to stop.

Vichy France - playable. Allies or Axis invade you later in war but you have time to prepare for it. Still very hard.

Spain, Turkey, Sweden, Neutrals - playable. You can usually chose to which side and when join the war.

Yugoslavia - too hard. Axis conquer you in 1941 whatever you do. Guy who played Yugoslavia invaded to French Syria but was catched by Rommel in later war.

Finland - playable. You can end the war with Russia via negotiations in 1944.

So, there is certainly demand for easier version. Also I already started working with it + I don't want to upload game files (as zipped over 10 MB) twice.

I think that a release of the Hardest Version would be good then you can release the easier version. I'm speaking for myself here, i get a kick out of hard WW2 scenarios so i'd love the hard one although my chances of winning on it would be 1/million

I just arrived to home and continue now work with the scenario.

That's good news...I was getting worried. Good luck! Can't wait to play this Marko!
