How important is it to you for a WWII ruleset to include sample scenarios? |

It is a big plus. You get to see many facets of the writers ideas before and during play. However, many publications now come with sample videos and that works out just as well. |

At least a few should be included, especially for people new to the hobby. |

It's a bit of an extra bonus |

I likes it. Not absolutely needed, as free scenarios could be posted to the company's web site. |

I think it is very important because it indicates some factors that may be critical to their game design, such as terrain density (Crossfire comes to mind) or unit density. It also shows whether the author plays "kill them all" type scenarios or actually puts some thought into objectives. |

Important. If nothing else, it shows the author went to lengths to actually research the subject and it shows how the game can be represented in real life situations. |

Not important but it is nice when they have them. |

Very important. Have found scenarios have clarified some of the rules, especially unit organizations. Even better is a play through of at least the first few turns of an included scenario. |

In theory I like them, but I never actually play them unless its a board game like ASL. |

A plus, but not necessary. |

Critical for any rules. I'll never know a set of rules as well as the original author does, so it might take me several games to come up with a manageable, fun, balanced scenario. I don't have time for games in general these days, so I want at least a couple of great scenarios that I can play, right out of the box. |

Another vote for 'nice but not necessary'. I would actually prefer to have a section on 'design philosophy' so that I can understand what is important to the rules designers than a scenario. That said, a 'learning' and 'advanced' scenario to give an idea of expected army compositions is always a nice bonus. |

With so many good scenario books on the market and free scenarios on line, why make a set of rules bigger and more expensive by including a bunch of scenarios that few will ever play? One or two are nice so that. reader can gauge how to stat up units for a new rule set, but beyond that I think they provide little value. |

Did not realize so many gamers want historical scenrios in the basic rule book. I had included "Army List" stuff and how to use to design historical battles in Combat Command's Campaign books but not ready designed scenrios. I'm inspired to add a few but not too the next installment (Poland to Paris) as I'm too far along and want to get it released. Since Combat Command is a Battalion level game (platoons are the atomic unit), there are many scenrio books already out for this level (I've got a dozen in my collection – at least). Thomas J. Thomas
