Thread: Random scenario generator

  1. #1

    Default Random scenario generator

    While waiting at a train crossing on the way to work today my mind began to wonder about Wings of Glory.Given a choice, I suspect most players would choose to fly missions in 1917/1918 as these seem to be when the majority of excellent planes were built. I then began to wonder if anyone had created a random scenario generator where you 1. Determine the year of the mission and 2. Determine the month of the mission? This would then force the players to choose from planes that were operational at that time period. Providing of course that players had the cards and or minis this could be very cool. I'm not a statistician or expert on this time period, but you could weight the table to have more missions occur in the years that airwarfare was more prominent. So maybe 1914/15 has a smaller chance, and 1917/18 has a greater chance. You could have a modifier for the months that specific campaigns took place. This is just a thought I had, and for all I know, someone may have already designed something similar.

    TSR's 'Dawn Patrol' has just the thing.

    Indeed it does. Does it quite well too. That was part of the reason I put together my list of planes available by month/year & their operational uses was so that I could pick a period of the war & type of mission & then draft planes based on what was available at the time.

    I created and uploaded a Mission Generator some time ago. You can find it in the Files Section:
