Dear friends,
hello again. The date is fast approaching so it's time to finalise our
format. Barry's suggestions have been enough to give me an idea of how
to proceed. First, the considerations which drove my thinking:
1. I like Barry's idea of 6 selected scenarios, which enables us to
have 6 games set up and ready. This ought to give us time to play more
games, which is the essential point of the exercise after all.
2. We have very tight space contraints the full impact of which we
won't know until we get there. My solution to this is to pick 3
scenarios with wide maps and 3 with narrow maps, which will give us the
minimum footprint on our tables without overly restricting our choice
of scenarios.
3. I'd like to see games from CC:E, CC:M and CC:P with each
nationality/faction appearing in at least one scenario; that's 9
factions out of 12 available across the 6 games.
With all that in mind, here is my suggested list of 6 scenarios for
CC@UK Expo'10:
1, #8: Breakout Dance. Russian v German. Narrow.
2. #13. Tussle at Maleme. German v British. Wide.
3. #19. Metaxas Season. German v Greek (Axis minor). Narrow.
4. #21. Saint Agatha. Italian v American. Wide.
5. #A. Mindanao Island. Japanese v American. Narrow.
6. #K. Burning Buna. Japanese v Commonwealth. Wide.
Some of these are not the smallest of scenarios but I put them in the
list because they fit the wider criteria. I can lay on 2 of these with
my CC collection. We'd only need 2 more full CC collections to lay on
the full selection of scenarios, which would be the case with any
selection following the above criteria.
Please note that these are all suggestions and I invite comment on both
the format and on the matter of scenario selection. Please do note too
that we have to get this finalised promptly so that I can get the final
tournament details sent off to Richard Denning at UK Expo for next week.
Two final points: I appeal for a volunteer or two to arrive early- 5pm
say, on both the Friday and the Saturday evenings so that we can get
everything set up. That way we'll be ready to roll at our appointed 6pm
start time. Also: there is an unavoidable family issue which just might
prevent my attendance at Expo'10 in whole or in part. So I must also
raise a call for volunteers who could step in and run the event- in
whole or in part, should I be unable to attend. I will keep you up to
date on this matter.
And that's it. My best wishes to you all. And don't forget: Steve
Bishop is our target for this year!
cheers,
John
