Re: Flashpoint Ukraine - Original SSI SP2 Scenario
 

As this scenario is being play tested ATM,i don't think you should be asking how to beat it yet.

I've played this one and also got a marginal, difficult, but not too incredibly hard,,however IMP got a DV and found it "dead easy" in his words.

And your term of "slaughter" is not correct as is seems you got on the bad end the stick also eh?

This why feedback helps the designer on how the final version should be.

@ no one in paticular,

I can never understand why taking every VH or destroying every unit is so important.

A victory at any means a victory, whether a limited one,i can't think of one single battle where every thing went as planned and a perfect victory.

There will be causlities,inflicting more on your opponent and getting less for you, is in war is key, and in this game;)

Rant over(-;

Yeah, I need to go back and bump up the VH points. But I agree, Gila. As the designers repeatedly say, the game is an abstraction, so we need to use our imaginations to make it work the way we want.
