October 20, 201213 yr I had a crazy thought... Why not have a competition for small scenario designs for the HUD-4? Each round would have some general rules but some room for creativity--e.g., "A French task force with two warships and one light combatant vs. two groups of three or four gun boats and/or missile boats, anywhere in the world." Or, "A German convoy with two warships and six merchants must make an opposed passage against a nation with one destroyer-sized ship and 6-12 aircraft to use against them." In each case, we're talking relatively small scenarios, with each side having only a few vessels and/or about a dozen aircraft. Designers have 24 hours to produce the scenario. The goal is to put together a nice, challenging smaller scenario, and to do it QUICKLY. Folks get a week to try them out and cast their votes. The scenarios are rated both for playability and for the plausibility of the story. That way there is fast turnaround for the designers to get feedback. The winner gets...well...bragging rights. Or maybe the right to set up the next round of the competition? We would need at least two people willing to compete in each round. And we would need someone to set up the basic situation for each round. Thoughts? Observations?
