does happen, though, and likely even with mercenaries picking and
choosing their tickets (no plan survives contact with the enemy, etc.).
   
  Millions of years ago, when I was in the Mid-Realm of the SCA, the
King's Rangers even had a song about it. The only lines I remember went
like this:
   
  "We're trained in (something something)
  To harass and spy
  Then stood upon a crossroads
  And ordered to die"
   
  You get the picture. :-)

In a GZG universe I imagine a formation like Atkinson's Arrows would not
be 
very willing to take on a city assault scenario where their tanks and
long 
range firepower are nullified by the terrain. I am not saying that they 
can't do it but that it's not what they would necessarily want to do.
Same 
thing if you chose to design a light stealth infantry force. The last
thing 
they want is to be given an assignment to hold trenches.

Scenarios need to have the capability to be achieved in different ways
so 
that different armies can be selected .
