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?

Please, please, please I would _love_ to post more scenarios to the
USG2WS. Throw them at me folks!!

There are a heap of rules additions on the Unofficial SG2 Web Site - if
you haven't visited recently, I recommend you check it out.
