It happened! I finally got me wife to play a game of SG! We played the
intro scenarios from the rulebook, 3 squads of Regulars (5ACR+1SAW) vs 4
squads of Regulars (4ACR+1SAW). Semi hidden movement (placeholder moved
until spotted or fired).
Lessons learned: 1. Keep your squads within support range. (I had mine @20"
apart) 2. Don't let an enemy squad get opfire on your squads that run from
Close Combat. (A 1 leader in a building shouldn't fail right? 5ACR and 1 SAW
at 2" against troops in the open. She rolled a 9 and 2 8s OUCH!)
Hope to try the same scenario again soon.
Michael spake thusly upon matters weighty:

members contribute 'generic' missions and force compositions
and have someone act as archiver (no, that was no me volunteering -
while everyone was taking a step back, I shuffled two steps back...)

Well Michael, I must bow to your infintely superior skill. The nearest I got
to successfully involving my wife in gaming was when she took a passing
interest in D&D for a few months back in 1986!!
I'll talk to Paul O'Grady and see if we can't come up with something passable
over the next week or so. Paul is keen on DS and I have put a lot of time into
creating SG scenarios soooo, between us we will see if we can come up with
something playable.
BTW, I am very impressed with the simple but elegant FT scenario cards.
Cheers,
Owen G

Here are some of my suggestions: River Crossing. Retreat from overwhelming
force. Blitzkrieg
Congeal - Blocking the blitzkrieg.
Vertical Envelopement.
Hows that?

Among the scenarios I've run that I've enjoyed have been:
Demo Guard: You've got an infantry company standing guard while the Engineers
rig the bridge to drop like a rock. What's that noise coming down the highway?
Sounds like diesel engines to me... PAD Site: You can't take it out from
orbit, it's on a small island, and the defenders are dug in with minefields
and so forth. Take it out with grav, amphibious assault, or both. Delay: Recon
unit set up in depth, mission is to slow and hurt the enemy, but without
allowing yourself to be destroyed.
