RE: Scenario idea - new

Good points both.

Yes, have one referee for the SG2 and one for the FT board.
Syncronise the turns (i.e. the FT game may not move to the next turn
until
the SG2 game turn has completed). I think that the standard turn
conversion
is 3-5 SG turns to 1 FT turn. This is quite a disadvantage, as SG turns
tend
to be longer in Real Time than FT turns. Expect the FT group to wait on
the
SG group ALOT!
If you use the same players for both boards, this is no problem, but the
game will run L-O-N-G!!! Also, you will want to alternate or randomize
if
the FT game or the SG2 game turns will run first.
I would suggest that you keep the forces small, to decrease turn length.

While the moons of Endor does not work well with DS2, the battle for
Hoth
does. Perhaps it would be better to provide a scenario based on an
alternate
timeline when the first Deathstar was not destroyed. The rebels
retreated to
Hoth. Now the Deathstar has followed. The rebels would have to destroy
the
landing imperial forces and defeat the Deathstar before it can attack
(set
number of turns or game time limit). DS2 has the advantage of having a
1:1
turn ratio with FT (about 15 game minutes per turn) [and thus less
waiting
on the other table].

I like it, but I wouldn't make the generator-destroyed turn map exactly
to
the FT turn; though early destruction should be rewarded, the FT game
should
still have an element of the unknown in which turn the shield goes down.
