For sure, but how should it have been constructed. Just go with no production at all like Chess or what?
-
@cernel Probably something a bit more like Axis & Allies: D-Day with a reinforcement schedule and limited combat rounds. More differentiation between the sides would also be good.
Still, it is interesting scenario to play as is, with the Israelis having the advantage of the central position against slightly superior Arab production.

@rogercooper said in Roger's Scenario Thread:
- Historical entrance of nations
I very much disagree. That was a huge turn-off for me.:frowning_face: If you consider the size of the map and the movement of the units or even what is taken in 1 turn, a turn cannot be more than 1 month (more like 1 or 2 weeks), yet the powers enter the game so early that it is not even remotely justifiable on a historical stand point.
For example, the game is supposed to start at the start of WW1, and Italy joins on the second turn. Historically, Italy joined almost 10 months into the war. There is absolutely no way on a map of this scope that a turn can be anything remotely close to 10 months: it really feels like Italy joins when the war has barely started:unamused_face: , so this definitely spoils the historicity of the game for me (or it is one of the biggest things doing so).
