So last night, at our regular weekly WoW league, I was given the chance to premier a scenario that I had written. While at home writing it I was very pleased with the way it felt and could even picture it in my mind, but once I arrived at the Friendly Local Game Store...Lets just say that this did not go as planned.
It was the usually mix of our regular players plus a few new people, which was great as I did not go into many advanced rules in the scenario.
While the scenario had several components to it, none of them were overly complicated, but neither side seemed to listen to instructions very well and a few of the components were muddled and lost in the confusion.
Once gameplay actually started I had envisioned the Central Empires players, whose job it was to escort a two seater into Allied territory and take some Recon Photos of a trenchline then safely escort it back off the table, working together and supporting their fellow planes to acheive the victory conditions...:mad: In reality what transpired was a chaotic dogfight with every man for himself. The two-seater Roland (with a fantastic repaint, if I do say so myself :D) actually made it to the trenchline and managed to get a photo of one of them, although he was completely alone and dogged by several Allied fighters. After the Roland fell the blood bath continued and the Central Empires players slaughtered the remaining Allied planes.
All in all I hope everyone had fun, but I am curious to know from my fellow forum members and pilots how you are able (if at all) to make players work together as if they were all actually on the same side....?
I will post the full scenario soon for you to critique.
Until then, keep your eyes on the skies!
