I had to use the Wayback Machine to find these myself, and I did them! 
I
think I put those up in 1996-7.  The one on wayback was @ the 3rd move
(Nov
1999).	If I hadn't found them I was ready to pull out hard copies and
put
them up again.

It sounds like you are referring to Mike Brown's Full Thrust Scenario
Generator based off of	the missions in the GDW game BattleRider.  This
site
is no longer online, but with the archive power of waybackmachine.org,
we
can see what was there.......

If the link breaks make sure to cut and paste everything back together.

Also, I have done some work on a campaign system/scenario generator.  It
is
NOT a full blown campaign system with research and construction, it is
more
of a sector level campaign that generates linked scenarios and the only
overhead is dealing with repairs between scenarios and possible
reinforcements.  Let me know if you are interested.
