ROAR (http://www.jrvdev.com/ROAR/VER1/default.asp) has now added Schwerpunkt 10. ROAR is a very nice database; please always record your games.

Thank you for reminding us... i always try to record my playings and as it is the best way to judge the balance of a scenario i urge my Brothers in Cardboard Arms to do the same!

Additional benefit of recording on the ROAR site is you can keep track of the scenarios you have played, and view them whenever you want. My list has almost all the scenarios I've played since 1999.

Wish I had started earlier!!

Legion is right on. I use ROAR to weed out grossly unbalanced scenarios and help determine if giving/recieving balance is warranted. It is a helpful tool that can act as a tie-breaker when looking at equally interesting scenarios to play. With gaming time so precious for me it can be a drag to play a sceanrio only to find out later one side had little chance of making it interesting or close. Please add your playings!

Cheers!

I do love ROAR. I record all of my playing but it is fun to watch one of the best balanced ganes become unbalanced or an unbalanced one go the other way. I remember that "Tired and Unsupported" was listed as unbalanced in favor of the Germans and now the American side has eight more wins. ROAR is a general fair indicator but at times it is no better than a weather forcast.
