simultaneous attack and defend scenarios - any exist?

[George-III]

I was thinking about designing a scenario in which BOTH players begin the game with a VL flag already in their possession. I would probably place each flag near the border of each players setup area and no-mans land. This would force both players to attack their opponents flag AND defend their flag at the same time. I think this would lead to some original and interesting game play.

I have never seen a scenario like this so I was wondering how original this idea is. Has anyone seen or experimented with a scenario like this?

I would be interested in hearing any ideas or feedback you guys might have on this idea.

Sounds like an expanded meeting engagement. It certainly wouldn't be hard to create with the scenario editor.

Hey babra

Thats exactly what I have in mind, a type of meeting engagement in which the battlefield is expanded a bit. I will do some experiments and see if it will work.

Not original. Although I'm not sure if there are any scenarios out there, I designed a huge map with 2 rivers dividing the map into 3rds. I put 2 big flags in each setup zone and 2 small flags in the middle. That way, to gain a clear advantage in flags, you had defend yours against a river crossing at any number of bridges/fords along the river and attack his at the same time. I made it 75 turns long with light fog.

I still have the map as a matter of fact. The object is to have a 3rd party buy your forces. In the one battle I fought on it, we chose 7500 points apiece. I HIGHLY recommend battles of this type. Much more interesting than your standard meeting engagements.
