Here is a list of scenarios wich have been played at least 5 times and have a balance of no more than 43-57% wins for a particular side.

Note: I have designated the number of wins for each side as G: R: . However on many of those listed below these numbers may be the worng way round. Sorry I am tard when it comes to these sort of things and had to edit this list in hand in note pad.

Good to see Capdog's classic is still getting rave reviews. I remember testing it with Jeff smith back in the day, and I rate that as the best CMBB PBEM game I ever played.

And where might one get these battles?

ROWIII The Beast CMBB G3 R3 50% p6 E6.50

A stunning game.

I really enjoyed this one.

And if my memory serves me well "Our Backs to the Volga" is another stunning game but requires a decent PC to handle the size of it and the Smoke...

There was some debate a year or so ago about the balance of this game.

I guess time has proved it to be balanced.

Interesting little aside about 'Our backs to the Volga' and 'The Beast'. In both cases neither designer - Capdog and Harv - had any experience with scenario design, yet they both produced these two gems. In fact, I still remember several of us chatting on line at CMHQ, trying to convince Harv to add a scenario for ROW III. He was reluctant, but we eventually won him over.

Just goes to show everyone has one good design in them at least.

Bit like a book.

Mind you some people have many great designs.
