If you could pick 2 scenarios from each theatre to be included for consideration in Arena play.
My picks are,
West Europe: 1. Mont Mouchet
2. Operation Cobra
East Europe: 1. Ponyri
2. Red Barricades
Mediterranean: 1. Hellfire Pass
2. Into the Cauldron
Pacific: 1. The Meat Grinder
2. Guam Landings
Let's see some of your favorites

To be honest I could not name more than 3 scenarios by name, at all in fact
That I because during Beta, I was already searching for the competitive environment, and thus sistematically play Random scenario.
As commented in the other thread, I truly believe the best way of doing Arena is the other way round... veto unbalanced scenarios, not select a pool of valid maps (which are most).
Like that, we can also avoid players super-optimizing a couple of opening moves, and playing like that a whole season.
Improvising is key

That would be easier and I'll start a post on that but still this can still be for fun just name your favorites..

Favorites from the various theaters:
West: Operation Cobra, Sword Beach (but the best official scenario from the West is Twin Villages
https://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44/e ... w/?id=3687 - which should honestly be in the "official" rotation)
East: Gates of Moscow, Red Barricades (they're all good)
Pacific: Wake Island, Meat Grinder (they're mostly all good)
Mediterranean: Hellfire Pass, Dug in at Sidi Omar (but only Hellfire Pass is truly amazing)

My favourite scenario is Montelimar.
It is an evenly balanced scenario where both sides have a reasonable chance of winning.
Both sides have infantry, armour and artillery.
There's an interesting mix of terrain and some objective medals.

It's also very high on my list. And I hadn't thought about it - but it's actually one of the few starting scenarios where both sides have all three types of units.
