[Dannyp19]

My 1st nomination for "Best Scenario" is "Goodnight Irene" by Feltan!

[Coiler12]

The scenario I've enjoyed the most has been Deter, Detect, Defend by Randomizer.

[Maromak]

Red Flag and/or Fresian Flag. Brass Drum would also be a contender.

what he said of course [;)] Thanks for the compliments! [8D]

p.s. one note it's Frisian [:'(]

[GBOATZ]

I found POAW's "Changjiang Challenge" the most intriguing scenario I've played so far as it involved a far different strategy for me than just fighting ships and planes (with a tip of the cap to Gunner98 and Primarchx for my specific strategy that I had not considered on my own).

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

[djoos5]

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! [:D][;)]

[NumberOneBSUFan]

I have read Cauldron myself. Quite a good book although I prefer Red Phoniex. Anyways, good luck on that scenario mate.

[SSN754planker]

red phoenix is an excellent read-minus the love story.

Tell me what you think.

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?

[Meroka37]

I like the idea, I agree with Mark's&nbsp;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.

[GBOATZ]

A thousand pardons djoos5, for the inadvertent credit. Instead it was ACB3 [&o] (my apologies) who did such stellar work on the Last Countdown "What if..." scenarios.

Wish to give credit where it is due! [;)]

[djoos5]

No problem, GBOATZ! Maybe I can make this list in the near future. [:D]

I have read Cauldron myself. Quite a good book although I prefer Red Phoniex. Anyways, good luck on that scenario mate.

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.

[hellfish6]

Vortex and Red Phoenix were my favorite. I ended up going to South Africa and Namibia in no small part because I read Vortex when I was young.

[Primarchx]

Thanks!

[Casinn]

I have a new favorite almost every new scenario I play. hah
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)!
