Re: Campaign questionnaire
Personally, I find the "backstory" of the campaign important to my enjoyment of it. A good backstory draws me in and makes me want to fight it out, to find out what happens at the next stage.
A blaise campaign story, on the other hand, just doesn't keep my interest ...

Combine this backstory with a multipath option and you will have a great campaign.
Btw, I am sure that all designers will make very useful conclusions from this questionnaire.
Thanks all of you for your participation!  (so far)
cheers,

Re: Campaign questionnaire
I totally agree with Pepper. The storyline keeps campaigns alive. Add some difficulty and you have a real thriller, trying to keep your beloved core alive and take those v-hexes.

Re: Campaign questionnaire
Yep, I agree about backstory. Backstory can be tied with difficalty level and choise of path in multipath campain.

Re: Campaign questionnaire
I'd like to see more rational scenario lengths, take into account that 30-60 minutes (10 to 20 turns) is fairly short in the context of fighting.
For example in real life at Normandy:
0630: (Turn 0; US forces land on Utah Beach)
0945: (Turn 60; Utah Beach Cleared of all Enemy Forces)
1330: (Turn 140; Troops on Utah link up with units of 101st ABN, about 3 miles/4.8 km/96 hexes inland)
So please don't ask us to clear a defended beach and then advance 1 mile (1.6) km against opposition in merely 32 turns (96 minutes, or 1 hr, 30~ minutes) to make the scenario harder on us.

Re: Campaign questionnaire
Mark has a point here, however the AI is stupid, however coded or deployed by the scenario builder. Iīd say that 32 turns is enough for almost anything game-wise, but please donīt do those 15 turn rushes.. I just hate to waste my core driving for some objective 2-3km away in strong enemy opposition. Thatīs just a stupid way of trying to trick the scenario to be harder, when it really isnīt. Many old SP2 campaigns suffered from this IMO.
