And the excellent work done by djoos5 on his hypothetical "Last Countdown" scenario in the "What if.." category

Status: offline 		Although I always love to see my name on a list like this, I am not sure that credit is given in the right place - I do not know, nor did I have any part in a 'Last Countdown' scenario. My contributions thus far have been my Red Storm: Fill the Gap and Med Conflict scenarios.

I can say I have one in the works, although time always seems to be in short supply to get it done. It is based on Larry Bond's novel, Cauldron. I am working out the missions and events right now and should have it up for testing in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the accolades, though, GBOATZ! I wish I could accept!

I really like this idea. Here are my suggestions for categories...

* Best small scenario <-- up to 50 total units (all sides)
* Best medium-sized scenario <-- 50 to 499 units (all sides)
* Best large scenario <-- 500+ units (all sides)
* Best Cold War scenario
* Best DB3000 scenario
* Best future (2015+) scenario <-- we can change the date each year
* Best scenario of the year
* Best author of the year <-- not automatically the person who wrote the best scenario of the year; this could be a way to give credit to someone whose overall efforts were impressive in some way even if none of their scenarios was the best in any specific category
* Best new author of the year <-- reserved for someone whose first scenario is released in the year that they get the award; it is a nice way to encourage new talent to join the pool of scenario writers

I left out the "what if" scenarios because, technically, so many scenarios are "what if this situation that did not turn into a war in history had turned into a war?" I left out the AU suggestions because I'm not sure what the term means. :) (Active units?)

Comments? Suggestions?

I agree.
As for the scenario of the year, I have to say Operation Brass Drum. Even though it shipped with the original sim, Prixmach did an awesome job on it.

Wish to give credit where it is due!

As a matter of fact, I just got done re-reading Red Phoenix. I like it, but for me Vortex and Cauldron top my Larry Bond chart.

I started to read Vortex, but it just didn't grab me like Red Phoenix and Cauldron did.

Haven't played enough to seriously rate a best of the year, but have to say thank you to all the designers this game has spawned. Given me many hours of enjoyment (and/or self-caused frustration)!

Status: offline 		May I suggest the following process (with suggestions for dates, deadlines, etc.)...

1. Developers/Matrix Games/? make a decision on the actual categories (best small scenario, best author, etc.) (by Sept. 20?)

2. Call for nominations (Sept. 21-Sept. 30)

3. Elimination (for this year) of any categories that receive no nominations (Sept. 30)

4. Create online polls so people can vote (Oct. 1-Oct. 14); this gives people a lot of time to play scenarios, see which ones they really like, etc.

5. Announce winner(s) (Oct. 15)

Anyway, it's just a thought. I hope this helps.

Status: offline 		My Top 3:
- "Frisian Flag 2012", by Tomcat84. Great brief, lovely overlays, this scen actually got me into COMANO;
- "The Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment, 1987", by hellfish6. Great briefing, fascinating subject, immersive plot;
- "Red Flag 2017", by Tomcat84. Extremely challenging HD scen, I've yet to become efficient enough at micromanaging so many platforms.


However I must admit I haven't played yet several scens you guys mentioned like "Changjiang Challenge" and "Goodnight Irene".
