Ayton 2020 - Scenarios for the big game
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:23 pm
The plan for Sunday's mighty 18th century game is to discretely divide the long table into 3 sections, each with 2 players per side. The size of these sections will be 7.5 x 6 feet, or 10 x 6 feet depending on the needs of the scenarios, size of player forces, etc.
So, what we would like are member's scenario ideas for the 3 sub-tables. These would be especially welcome from members who aren't able to make the event but would like to contribute in some way. Ideas based on actual battles from almost any period, or wargame/your own scenarios, would be welcome so please post any thoughts you have here.
The only guidelines would be that, because the 3 'battles within a battle' will be adjacent to each other, any waterways bigger than streams would be difficult to accommodate. Also, to avoid the game starting with wall-to-wall deployment, we intend to stagger the arrival of units/forces, so meeting engagements or those where reinforcements march to the sound of the guns would suit particularly well.
