Board Game Arena

Do you want to eliminate this scenario from arena?
Pegasus Bridge: Yes

I cringe when these come up.

Just to be clear we are only suggesting removing certain scenarios from ARENA competition you can play these scenarios on regular play anytime you want..
Think of ARENA as a Tournament, Tournaments use certain scenarios to balance out the luck factor and allow more skill to decide the win ARENA should be the same

Do you want to eliminate this scenario from arena?
Sidi Rhezeg Air Field: Yes
1st Armored to the rescue: Yes

These two scenarios it's possible to have a bad initial draw and have no chance and game over in a couple turns. Some of the others are borderline.

Sainte-Mer-Eglise NO
Pegasus Bridge NO
First Assault Wave NO
Arnhem Bridge NO
Sidi Rhezeg Air Field NO
Knightsbridge NO
Panzers vs Grants NO
1st Armored to the rescue NO
Vassieux NO
Pointe-du-Hoc NO
Mont Mouchet NO
Flanking Maneuver at Bir Hakem NO
Escape via the Coastal Road NO
Sugar Loaf and Half Moon NO
Wake Island NO
Slopes of Mount Austen NO

Instead:
Add more scenarios.
Get random selection to work better.
Adjust points penalty when below average dice/hits are rolled.

Sure,
If these awful maps are not removed from Arena and tournaments, so i stop play M44 in Arena and tournaments

It is actually just a lucky game (and not fun) with these maps

1. Not doable before new season
2. What do you mean ?
3. Not doable, you either win or lose, and that's the only thing taken into account by bga for ELO/Arena point computation

Sorry for the confusion.
I will edit my first post too

Is there anything we can do to help introduce new "official" scenarios? Maybe playtest, bug-hunt, etc.? I'm thinking maybe if we could make sure they don't include any elements that haven't been implemented, if that's the hold-up?
