This is strictly for improving and tweaking the BSB missions. They can be found here:

http://www.broadsidebash.com/rules.php

Please give your opinions and what you would tweak or offer a starter point for a more balanced mission. Hopefully in a few days Espa can take the stuff from this thread and tweak the missions and will update them so they can be tweaked again. Maybe by February the missions will ok enough for more of us to attend and have a good time and grow this event.

I'll start it with my starting point ideas:

Mission 1:
Deployment: Pitch Battle
Minor Win:Most KP's
Major Win:3+ More KP's
Massacre:3+ KP's and Most Table Quarters controlled by troops.

Mission 2:
Deployment: DoW
5 Objectives-1 In middle of table and 2 in each "deployment zone but not within 12" of a long edge or 6" of a short one.
Minor:More Objectives
Major:3+ More Objectives
Massacre: 3+ More Objectives and Killed selected HQ or More KP's

Guidelines for balanced scenarios:

>1-2 DoW missions in a 5 game tournament
>No random objectives/occurances
>KP's are essential to balanced play, 1-2 mission in a 5 game tourney (1 if one mission is VP based, 2 if not)
>No more than 1 game with forced mid-table objectives
>No point gathering objectives
>Make sure full turns are always played. Avoid missions like the kill half+2 and autowin right there style scenarios

Things to do:
>Use standard deployment zones. Speeds everything up
>Slightly modify or tweak book missions, don't go overboard
>Keep it simple
>Massacre's can only be achieved by completing an objective that doesn't correlate to the primary. Such as KP's in an objective mission or the reverse.


The current missions in my opinion except for 2 and 5 are broken and need to be dropped or completely reworked. Have at it even if your not attending. In fact it might be better if your not as that way your not influenced by your armies

Brad, I would definitely attend the BSB if they followed these guidelines.

KISS are words to live by.

Here is hoping that the PacMar see the wisdom of these guidelines.

Darrian13 is wise as well as being strong as an Ox!

KISS all the way. Book missions are best. These are words TO's should live by.
