British CO needed some field artillery and a Tiffy to cause some pain to the Germans. Nice report!

Yup in hindsight i should have given them a smoke barrage on turn 1!

Nice one! Good house rule with having to clear wrecks from the highway.

Bulldozers are fun

nice work - i want to get better at setting up quick scenarios to get more games in.

Just put togheter what you think is good!

We had a game in last night, just made the scenario up on the spot with my 2 co players. Easy as that

I did paint 6 planes last week so it was only normal we went for the capture of a german held airstrip somewhere in normandy though

Good job peterc. The couple times I've tried to make up a quick scenario, I end up not enjoying the game as much. In fact, I normally don't even finish the games.

There's some kin of metal hurdle I need to get over.

Well, setting up quick scenarios requires a few things in my opinion.

1: make sure the forces are pretty even. That way if your scenario backfires, the troops still have a fighting chance against each other.

2: make sure you have some kind of sudden death objective. Be it break points, turn limit to reach something or something that must be captured. That way there is a set end to a game, making it faster to play out. It also stops 'camping' and speeds up gameplay i think.

3: don't make it too complicated! It's meant to be fun!

4: if possible, base your scenario around something you just painted. It always gives more pleasure using new stuff and gives you a motivation to get it started
