Noticing during a recent tournament where the Soviets did not seem to fare as well against the Germans as both the Common Wealth and the Americans did made me think of putting together a Fire & Rubble tournament to, besides pitting the best tactical CM minds against each other, kind of do a little test of force balance during Quick Battles.
I figure a minimum of 3 quick battle scenarios will be played, each on a specific map, a December ’44 small German probe on an open/village map, an April 45 Soviet Berlin attack and a late ’44 huge armor only meeting engagement.
(More QB's could be added. We could make the tournament 4 or 5 scenarios long depending on everyone's preference. The more games the better idea of balance.)
Players would play both sides in each battle against different opponents chosen at random for a total of 6 games played.
The goal would be to play 2 games against two different opponents simultaneously for a 3 round tournament.
Three quick battle scenarios played on three maps.
For each map a player will play two battles, one as the Germans and one as the Russians.
Right now the three maps will depict:
A Small German Probe with both sides Armored Infantry only on an Open-Village Map. (FR_Reitwein-880x880-Village-Open-Probe-01) probably December ’44, dawn, light snow, mist.
(This could change to a "Mixed" Probe if everyone would rather it that way.)
A Small Mixed (or maybe Infantry only) Russian Attack or Assault in Berlin City. (FR_Berlin Z West-480x480-City-Attack-01), April ’45 day.
A Huge Armor Only Meeting Engagement on an Open/Village Map. (FR_Batzlow-1520x1200-Village-Meeting-01), Late ’44 or early ’45. I would like to make all types of tanks available.
The huge armor QB is technically is not too huge. There aren’t many tanks you can buy that the points of a huge scenario can purchase, especially late in the war with big tanks. I wish I could double the points.
It would probably be a lot less units to control/move than the small QB’s.
Anyone interested or ideas?
