Hello -
I've found with CMBB that time is an extremely precious commodity. Specifically, I'm finding that the offense (AI or Human) often has a very difficult time capturing ground (flags) in the time allotted by the scenario without undertaking extremely risky moves. I think that what it boils down to is that CMBB requires a lot more coordination of movement - and that takes more game time to arrange give the game mechanics.
Based on my experience with CMBB, I'm finding that I often need 10-30% more time than typically allotted by the designer. Sometimes a portion of that can come via the "variable end" feature. Perhaps I just play to cautiously or I'm not skilled at setting up a covered advance.
I also find that I have to really pad the time for any off-road AFV movement. I don't dare have my AFV's use FAST MOVE when setting up off-road in CMBB. I've lost too many to bog-immobile that way.
Anyway, I read that there is a way to "extend" a scenario past the normal end by using the editor. I've tried doing this to no avail. I can't seem to get the last game turn to load up into the editor.
Can some kind soul explain how to extend the end of a game using the Editor (and if it's really possible to do this, of course)?
Thank you very much...
