To keep some activity going through the holiday season where things are usually slow because everyone's porkin' out on turkey, ham, roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, yams, green beans, pizza, freshly baked muffins with REAL BUTTER, hot apple pie smothered with ice cream, fruit cake, jello, cheeseburgers with EXTRA CHOLESTEROL, bar-b-que baked beans topped with BACON, fried chicken and potato salad, cheese cake, and...stuff...the Anonymous Heroics scenario is the centerpiece of the second course in the new player's TOAW Workshop!
This workshop is against the Programmed Opponent - Elmer who should be given side 1 (Red). This is a scenario that can be played in one sitting as it only takes 1-2 hours. In that regard, this makes for a fairly simple workshop in some respects. The focus of this scenario is on Strategy. Game mechanics will be covered but won't necessarily be the focal point.
Strategy is not a simple concept, nor is it something that multiple people can always agree upon - which makes it that much more interesting. There are different strategic styles and they usually work differently in relation to the opponent's strategy. As players, there are lots of lessons to be learned in TOAW - and good players are constantly learning. The goal of this workshop is to help players relatively new to wargaming "generally" develop (as one participant presented it) from "just pushing counters", to developing functional strategies and action plans on an operational level, to interpret enemy maneuvers, and to prioritize and select between multiple courses of action...and...Stuff.
For simplicity, everyone and everything can be posted to this thread.
