RE: [MISC] [OT] Bring and Battle

I've been following this discussion and it make me wonder.

How many opponents are involved?  What are the sizes of their forces? 
How do you set the terrain?  How much time do you normally have to
setup, play and tear down?

Given answers to these, I think I could come up with a set of scenario
cards with out using a point system.  

Also, as I play historical minis, there are a wealth of scenario
books/articles, some dealing with random forces.  If you can find it,
Try "Programmed Wargames Scenarios" and "Scenarios for Wargames" by
Charles Stewart Grant and published by WRG

If it just were this easy. A slice of pie is much easier to eyeball than

a SG squad. 

It also kills the surprise factor and design fun. 

This is a fundamental problem with "bidding systems" too. They assume
that every bidder can make a fairly accurate value appraisal. In
reality,
the less experienced players just get screwed twice.
