This is flipping brilliant.

These folks understand what a wargames campaign really is and have stripped it down to the bear essentials.

I have wanted to write this for a long time, but they have already done it! Less work and more fun for me, so I am so thankful.

Who are/is these people / this person?

Fight on!

Is this you, derv?

Well done. Well done.

Love this.

[derv]

Thanks tetramorph. Yeah, Broken Spoke is me.

Scratch Build is intended to be a template of flexible guidance that gives people that DIY vibe. Hope that came through.

I'd love to hear what you do with it if you use it.

Well done. It does reflect pretty much the way my friends and I used to make up scenarios on the spot and fight battles. (My friend had an actual sand table in his garage and we would scoop out hills and rivers and such. Cool, but sort of messy.) A worthy successor to your "18 pages" doc.

Finarvyn you can definitely use Scratch Build as a scenario generator. That appears to be exactly how Blackmoor first started. I hope people see that only as a jumping off point. As I thought about it, it seemed the document could benefit from another set up example to make it's versatility a little more clear.

Here's the addition to stick in your folder- Set up example two

edit: I've updated the original doc to include the change.
