Blitz CMSF QB human-pick system

[Colonel Talvela]

I am going to write up a format to have QBs where we (the players) select the units. Basically it will work like this:

1)Find an existing map that both players like
2)Delete the units for each side and save that as a QB scenario
3)Player1 Adds his units and send to player2.
4)Player2 Adds his units and saves and starts the game.

Limitations/Drawbacks:
-First it will have to be on the honor system, unless a third party adds the units, but that is cumbersome.
-Takes a little longer than CMx1 QB selection
-Special rules for experience, HQ bonuses, and special weapons.

What needs to be done:
1)Develop a blitz Price-list for units
2)Develop special rules for editing experience, HQ bonues, and special weapons
3)Detemine if we want to save the game as an actual scenario and enter into the blitz database, or just setup some system where a game could be reported as QB-tiny/QB-small/QB-medium/QB-2000 points, etc
4)Detemine a set period to adjust the points. No point system is perfect, but I am thinking we make a set of points and stick with it for a week or two. After the time is up, we adjust the points based on learned experiences from the game. After a couple of months we change and only adjust once a month.


I am going to create these rules, even if I just use them with my personal opponents. However if the blitz community wants, I can head-up and be in charge of managing something like this. It will be a work in progress and nobody will ever be completely happy with the point system. But IMO it is better than nothing - which is unfortunately what we have now. Or if somebody else wants to run the thing I will help them.
