Scenarios need not be designed so you can "win" them, other than perhaps by getting a better final total score next time you play it, but still say a "draw" result in game terms.

Cheers

Id like to throw a couple cents in here. I personally like grave situations and hard battles. Walkovers are boring to me.

As do I. That's why you'll see very few WinSPMBT that are anywhere near that. If "average" players are expecting to sit down and get decisive victories almost every time you play they're playing the wrong game. If it too hard they can dummy up the AI side in preferences but the game is supposed to be a challenge. This is not SP2 anymore

Well first off, it sees to me that Clauswitz included MASS in his nine principles of war, hence the 3:1 was developed to give a "number" to this principal.

As a Viet Nam vet I have had "actual" combat experience not at the level of planning this game depicts to be sure.

As for tactics in neutralizing the ATGM's thats a fine statement, now play the senario and do it in the 10 turns allowed.

I don't want walk over's either BUT I want some chance to use proper tactics to obtain the objective. I can tell you that sitting behind a desk in Washington at the top of the chain of command and being the "point man" on a S&D is quite different. And yes virginia, men did refuse to obey stupid orders that would get them killed with no chance for success.

I have some time today dedicated to bug testing WinSPMBT. [Anybody know] What scenario is this? I think I'll give it a try.

I can only guess it's #63 but he didn't specify and that would have been helpful. Guessing is never reliable but that is the only 10 turn sceanrio I can think of with lot's of ATGM on the Arab side.
