Multi Player games

[Compass Rose]

I know that I sort of buck the trend of many SqB players in that I don't really like bigger scenarios. I love "The Sharp End" series by Oz, and would prefer to see more of that kind of design.

You are not the only one. I too, do not like big scenarios, if I am the one controlling all of the units on one side. I like smaller scenarios that have alot of action however, don't take forever to move and/or command all of your units. Most importantly, I don't have the patience to continuously watch a 5+ minute turn replay for 20+ turns to see what my opponent did on his turn. To me, it feels too much like work!

I am a big fan of small scenarios such as The Sharp End series however, in the few SB MP games I have played in, they were big scenarios with 3x3 sides and I enjoyed it alot. It was nice to be be able to play the large scenarios which I would normally never play, without having all of that work of controlling everything by yourself. If you get involved with some your closest PBEM regulars, it can be a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it. You may find it as enjoyable as watching those old Army/Navy games, back in your day!

I'd rather start small-ish and work up to larger scenarios so to establish a working relationship.

You can't go wrong with that philosophy.
