Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - goosebrown - 07-16-2022 I think the question of counting battle v regular scenarios is worth getting a read of the folks here. There are a few ways to do it (or not) and probably more that I did not think about. RE: Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - plloyd1010 - 07-18-2022 Sorry Matt, I go with none of the above, but maybe with bits of a couple. First I don't think the battle should count for advancement points. You potentially have 3 points with any given scenario and none for a campaign ribbon. There should be an award to stick on your page and look at though. Something like recording a scenario play would be best. It would have something of a manual start. After that, with the proper database calls, the process would be largely automatic and a pin/star/badge would be awarded. The award would go under the players rank insignia, but could move to be on or under the campaign ribbon, should it be awarded. Encompassing all that would be a fair amount code, which I am not sure Drew would want to write. Assuming the Code Genie grants my wish, the flow would go like this... I play the scenarios of The 1st Battle of Targu Frumos (9 scenarios), I'll play all scenarios with a certain opponent (who often calls me a SOB in his AAR's).
If the battle game record thingy ever gets off the ground, I suggest we also add mini-campaigns as battles. The Vorontsovo campaign, from PG: The East for example, or the distinct sections from Campaigns & Commanders, like the desert campaigns. Maybe the grouped scenarios like the Twin Villages battles (ElsR 5-8), but that would require creativity on out part. For my part, I see the battle game idea as a way to gain notoriety on our profile pages without having to hit the high par of playing a complete game. RE: Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - NBGB - 07-18-2022 My thought is that if you want to really encourage battle game play then something more than pips or etc. needs to happen. I’m sure many of us have limited time to devote many hours to a battle game. All the scenarios may not be that appealing so it would be more of a favor to the site than a personal preference. So, to achieve the stated goal, I think we need to just award some really large bounty points for finishing them. Probably pretty easy to code that. That may give battle games much larger exposure. RE: Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - Blackcloud6 - 07-18-2022 What do "bounty points" do? RE: Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - leonard - 07-18-2022 Only played two battle games: one from Invasion 44 and another from Kokoda. Since we play competitively, we only played (face to face) two - and not three - of the Kokoda battle game scenarios. Indeed the battle game VCs were such at the end of the second scenario that it would be a draw. How do you count this ? RE: Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - waynebaumber - 07-18-2022 I Have voted for option 2 because I am a cranky old man but Tread asked me to vote. Personally it is not a burning issue for me RE: Counting Battle Scenarios Poll - plloyd1010 - 07-19-2022 (07-18-2022, 11:42 PM)waynebaumber Wrote: I Have voted for option 2 because I am a cranky old man but Tread asked me to vote. Personally it is not a burning issue for me I don't think it should be particularly important to anyone. I like it as a way to put announcements on the front page. Progression, or the illusion there of, creates interest. Interest creates more plays.

There is a section that lists the highest bounties being offered.

Thanks, but that doesn't tell me what they do. So, I get a 1000 Bounty Points, what happens?
