obstacle course

[walpurgis nacht]

(Please post any response in the identical post in "tips n tricks")

I was thinking about finishing a project I started awhile back . . . a CMAK obstacle course. The idea is, if you can capture the flag before the clock runs down, you're a bloody CM master. The map is laced with puzzle after puzzle . . and they are quite tough! In fact if you can breech the last obstacle we need to talk That said every obstacle can be cracked, more or less with ease.

It is a German "attack". The force composition:

1 Plt Pioneers
1 Flamethrower
1 HMG42
1 mortar HT
1 105mm Stug
4 tank hunters (scouts)

While that is a tiny attack force, the map I have in mind is long, and would take a healthy chunk of time to complete. I have to test it further but likely 100 turns.

So I'm wondering is there any interest for this sort of thing out there?

I think a hundred turns is a hell of a lot - but then it does sound like a puzzle rather than "game".
I have often thought of the old race the British Army did against some rally club on roughish heathland terrain where the Army vehicles tended to cross-country whilst the rally drivers went via tracks.

The relevance to CM being that by playing racing games of various national equipment a player would acclimatise to the speeds, accelerations of the vehicle and the effects of different terrain whilst having some fun.

In fact with a downloadable map racing flag to flag could become a competitive CM sport : ) Comparing times would establish the skilful from the not so!!

Im up for giving the 100 turn match a try:)
