One pair might fight Brits/Germans, in the desert, early war, another pair might want late war Pacific. What matters, I think, is that everyone has fun, and plays fair.
It is just impossible to standardize it. Unless we all played the exact same [I]scenarios [/I] ,with the same starting positions, etc. I wouldn't want that.
Goblin- A Goblin says try it anyways;) [/B]
Why not? Far be it for me to promote tradition, but ALL of the well run tournements use the same scenarios to avoid the tournament from morphing into a gamesmanship event. If every one has the same units on the same map, it becomes a test of tactical abilites, not one of who knows the OOB the best. At the unlimited level the game becomes little more then "Rock Paper scissors". Do you buy 6,000 points of arty and a few scouts, FO's and jeeps? Or is your oppnent going to do that so you buy scout killers and engineers. Or throw caution to the winds and go all armor and try to move faster then the arty? Or all infantry like a sea of ants swarming across the map, with more rifle squads then your opponent has arty shells. Is this about having the better tactical skills or being the best at gaming the system? With scenarios, the difference will be skill, because all else is equal. With 16 players, it would take 4 scenarios, with 32 players 5. So it would take a little time to make the scenarios, but It would take time to play them also, so once the first 2 were made, the scenario makers should be able to stay ahead of the players. 6 scenarios would be 64 players and IIRC 7 would make a double elimination tournament possible.
