Pressure Cooker Beta Test

Pressure Cooker is a new scenario I am working on that utilizes my Marine Corps 2.0 mod for the game. In order to play this scenario, you will have to have previously installed the mod. The beta test scenario folder contains three files which will need to be placed in their respective game folders (map files go in the map folder and scenario files go in the scenario folder).

This scenario is setup on a cropped version of the Renkum map that is only 3 km X 3 km and the only crossing point is a ferry that is primed. There are no bridging units; however each side has an engineering unit available from the start that should assist in securing/denying the crossing depending on which side you decide to play as.

The Marines have a hard time of it in this scenario but it is quite possible to win, even a Decisive Victory (as indicated in one of the screen shots below). The Axis forces have the advantage in total units (16 to 11) and Total Combat Power (54.14 to 35) which makes playing them a bit easier, however the Marine Corps units can be played to a Decisive Victory using valid combat tactics.



The scenario is designed to be played on either side, although in beta testing I would appreciate some input on how the AI functions in crossing the ferry regardless of what side you play as. Any constructive feedback is appreciated and can be left by making a comment directly in this post (at the bottom).
