Use scenarios written for other wargames/boardgames and adapt as
required.
Way, way back before I met Beth there was a guy who was fascinated with
mechanized warfare, he had all the boardgames, Panzerleader,
Panzerblitz,
etc. But he would game in 1/35th scale, 1 x squad counter represented 1
x
squad, 1 x vehicle represented one vehicle and he used the scenarios
published in the boardgames. The games were excellent, as he tended to
moderate rather then play and would parcel information out to the
players
to keep things interesting. The visual impact of a 1/35th scale Panzer
MK
III bursting out of the forest was great, especially since I was the
German
infantry commander holed up in a farm under attack by Polish tanks
(french
built R-35s).
