Scenarios

[ochoin]

2020 has been a successful year of SYW gaming for me, thanks, in part, to scenario ideas from the Grant books (& lots to come). I nailed a very good game for the AZW based on Hlobane & an entirely fictitious scenario WW2 offensive with the British advancing through the Italian mountains.

A little further help would not go astray as I turn my attention to further Zulu War games & maybe bringing our Sudan/Mahdist figures back to play.

Is there scenario books for Colonial gaming available? I plant to do some Punic & Roman Vs Greek gaming in 2021 too, so a scenario book for this period?
Xmas is near & suggestions this way might meet fertile ground.

I have read so many first person accounts that I cannot ever imagine running out of scenarios. And that doesn't even start the Grant scenarios hidden as something else. Swap sides and then mirror the battlefield and no one will know. Make the safety of waggons, crops, maidens, nurses worth more than a big killing. Make destruction worth more VPs than people expect. You don't need scenario books, you need a sense of mission!

Not period or genre specific but Neil Thomas' One Hour Wargames has loads of simple generic scenarios. Its great value

Also, the Rampant books have some you could scale up and take the basic structure from, Lion Rampant and Men Who Would be Kings especially.

I cheerfully steal scenarios from all periods, so just about any scenario book will do. Caliver have an excellent range of 4 ECW scenario books that with imagination can be adjusted to any period:

And obviously there’s some really good ideas in Wargames magazines so it’s worth having a look through their online back issues. I’m currently converting The Prayer Book Rebellion 1549 campaign that Andy Callan wrote into a WotR campaign for Never Mind the Billhooks rules that.....er....Andy Callan wrote.
