Actually, that does sound like a fun thing to do.  Perhaps I'll do both,
but in two different series of games:

Series One:  Each genre self-contained, WWII, Moderns, Sci-fi.

Series Two:  Your suggestion of pitching each genre against what is
historically the next genre.  

Big cons are multi-day affairs, so I could run each series over the
course of a day and still have break between scenarios and hopefully
still have a day or so for "goofing off".

Whee!
