Subject: SG2 Scenario Repository Needed?
The 15mm Scale thread has me thinking about an idea I've had for a while. I know that several web sites have SG2 scenarios on them. Is there a need for a repository of well balanced SG2 scenarios, and scenario design ideas? I have found that the hardest thing about SG2 is coming up with scenarios that are well balanced the first time out. Okay, I have played enough games to know that this is ALWAYS a problem. Unless you're doing an even point meeting engagement where both sides have similar force design philosophies, it's hard to come up with a scenario balanced out of the gate. I imagine the scenarios in my old Avalon Hill board games went through a lot of playtesting themselves, too. I'm not sure there is anyone way around this. A point system for SG2 would help, but not as much as some people think (most of my scenarios have one obviously superior force with difficult objectives; it's almost impossible for a point system to take this into account). So, I guess what I'm asking is this: Is there a need for a SG2 scenario repository? Do we already have enough resources like this on the web and I just haven't paid enough attention (I know the Unofficial SG2 site has some scenarios and house rules)? Are there enough people with scenarios that we could have a reasonable collection on the web?
