Hey all,

I'm sure this has been asked before bit I haven't witnessed one lately. So I ask, what is your favorite map/scenario and why?

Right now (keep in mind I only have about 60 games under my belt) I keep going back to Meeting Engagement Redux. For me it feels like a very well balanced map with plenty of different options for attacking/defending/ambushing. I primarily play as Allied forces so my opinion may be a bit biased. However, I have encountered a few good players on this map lately and it has opened my eyes to great "new" Axis attack strategies. One guy put up a great fight using a foot soldier heavy squad. I did win but it surprised me and showed me yet another way to play this map. Always learning...

What's your fav?

I agree - the Redux games are the most fun. For set-piece scenarios, City River and On The Beaches stand out.

I just recently started a City River game for the first time. Its fun although I'm not sure if I am doing to well! It reminds me of the last fighting scene in Saving Private Ryan. Trying to cross that bridge is a B$&@?!!. I'll have to try On The Beaches now that you have mentioned it.

Hey Orange, in case you hadn't guessed it already I second the Meeting Engagement map based scenarios incl. the Fast & Sneaky ones. Great combo of movement and fire terrain with enough space for sneaky adventures behind enemy lines

The Ortona custom scenario rocks as well although totally different. It's nerve wrecking urban warfare at it's best where you can't even fart without immediately taking reaction fire!

Cheers

I havent played Ortona yet. I'll have to try it. Yeah, the fast and sneaky and armor versions of meeting engagement add a cool twist. I am playing a guy now that had 3 king tigers, 4 panthers, tiger, 2 wespes and still more. Notice I did say had. I've never encountered nor did I think you could even have an armored line up like that. Gotta love those hellcats!

Monsoeren, our games have been classic! Most entertaining yet...watch out for Monso!
