Si Tyler's OPERATION: CERTAIN DEATH is the winner of the Osprey Raid Scenario Contest!
Si, I'll pass your contact info on Osprey and you'll get the the first four of their new RAID books in the mail!
Great scenarios were entered by one and all! I'm going to compile these all into a PDF and make them available as a free download on the website!
Thanks to all the competitors for sharing their talent with us!

Playing it solo is not the same as getting others to play it. So the answer is it has been properly played by anyone...Yet..

Thank you for the kind words. All the scenarios were good to read and have shown how flexible the various systems are and hopefully will give anyone a good game who plays them.
For me this has rekindled my interest in Scenario writing but some will probably focus more in the North-West Frontier Rising of 1897-98 which has always been an interest.
There are loads of documented engagements in the villages, rescuing the wounded colonel, save the guns etc in the early days which might generate some interesting games for the system to handle.
That said am enjoying...gad a word I haven't used in a while! painting up the small amount of moderns I have left for "proper" AA.

Shawn,
the first four books duly arrived and are being read. This ties in with the question about what makes a good scenario post in the other thread.
Haven't read the phillipines one yet but the others have been a good read.

Awesome. Can't wait. Read a few books on it and watch a doco or 2. Will be good to get more info to game it.
