** I have found that the Defend 2 Points scenario is simple to set up, gives both sides many options concerning gameplay, can be played on most any field or terrain, and can take most any kind of MEDIC rules.

Sounds neat, but a few thoughts..

Why the 50/50 force split? Generally speaking, you need 3-to-1 odds when attacking a deliberately defended position. As the reactor security crew hs that advantage, the OPFOR should have the advantage of numbers. Of course, you could offset the "positional" advantage by having numerous ways to the two points. that'd force the Bluefor to spread themselves out.

Why does Bluefor have resurrections? If they die, who is gonna be able to break through the "siege" to reinforce them? Unless you have 6 giys simulating a security force of 12, why bother?

This scenario begs for an old, deserted industrial site to play it!! LOL

You answered your own question, and I explicitly wrote it in the scenario itself: You spread the 2 points out so that they are not easily defended at once. On the other hand, if you want to change the %s, then do so. It's that easy.

It is more fun to play than to sit out for almost 60 minutes. This is the reason for the respawns. Further, having respawns is just a simulation of there being reserves or more guys.

Given the state of things today, this theme is excellent.

Obviously, the security force at this facility is small, or the terrorists would not have chosen to attack it. I would therefore set the security force slightly smaller. Navy blue or black tac, M-16's, M-733's or M-4's.

Terrorists in civilian, non military garb; any weapon available

Now...Each time a security force member dies, he has to go to some other point, pull off his black tac jacket and replace it with a BDU jacket thus becoming the military coming to reinforce. This will take a few. the jacket switch can't take place until the dead SECFOR player reaches the reinforcement point. He has to shed his gear, switch jackets, put his gear back on and...wait for at least 5 military before going to the rescue.

Great job Jay.

Why does Bluefor have resurrections? If they die, who is gonna be able to break through the "siege" to reinforce them? Noone. BluFor waits to be medic'd by the designated medic. So, maybe their HITS are not lethal. The background is secondary; the medic and gameplay rules are there to promote a competitive game that is fun for everyone. The simulation and background are an afterthought.
