I know the Savage World Weird War Two book had a random mission generator - which would include attachments to your squad/platoon's basic force as well as what sort of opposition they might face. I have a feeling Behind Enemy Lines had one two... but I can't remember for sure... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-49406780337883154512015-04-05T06:07:49.755-07:002015-04-05T06:07:49.755-07:00My ideas came from the tables of the old Rogue Tra...My ideas came from the tables of the old Rogue Trader game, but slowly added more elements from my ideas, and also from randomized games, like Descent Ed2. Most recent games use random cards for scenarios, they can also give good ideas.Kadmonhttp://alkony.enerla.net/en/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-58548294445873268592015-04-04T09:57:21.252-07:002015-04-04T09:57:21.252-07:00Brilliant!

If I had infinite time to make terrain and inifinite space to store them, I could still have infinite time to play games with them :) But as I have them in limited amount, it would be wasteful not to use them maximally.<br />However we also use totally random tables. As my group meets weekly, we sometimes roll scenarios for the next game, and we'll have a week to prepare the scenery and miniatures.Kadmonhttp://alkony.enerla.net/en/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-51588893829165728072015-04-04T00:24:00.184-07:002015-04-04T00:24:00.184-07:00Thanks!

That way I can make sure I don't get distracted from using the ones I already have.Kadmonhttp://alkony.enerla.net/en/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-82757342014905272182015-03-11T20:35:50.661-07:002015-03-11T20:35:50.661-07:00Yes, same to all of that for me as well, Tim.

Also, those are the kinds of miniatures I tend to like.<br /><br />I did find a use for a bunch of halfling villagers and adventurers and some gnolls, a while back.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-24950151610216954402015-03-11T18:04:27.780-07:002015-03-11T18:04:27.780-07:00Thanks!

They look great.<br />I have a tendency to buy miniatures that I like the look of, even when I don't have any gaming uses for them in mind.
