Officers of the Club,
General Hartwig noticed and reported to the Cabinet that this May the club will celebrate its ten year anniversary. It seems fitting that we celebrate the occasion.
The first idea that came to my mind was to hold a Blue-Gray tournament. The way I would see it this shin-dig would be a single round of 1-on-1 battles between officers of the two sides. There would be no individual winner, but the side with the most wins (or total points?) would be declared the winner.
Of course, as with any tournament there are logistical issues that would need to be worked out. We would need to decide on whether to use a stock scenario 'from the box' or enlist the efforts of one (or more) of our dedicated scenario designers to come up with a special Blue-Gray Tournament scenario. I would expect we would need a rather short scenario (30 turns max, probably shorter). We would need at least two or three different scenarios, to accomodate the many who don't own every game (probably at least one from both series, BG and HPS). How to pair combatants would also need to be decided.
As I said, though, this was just my first thought. The Cabinet has discussed this and decided to solicit input from you on what you think would make a fitting celebration of ten years of clobbering each other [:)].
What do you think, gentlemen?
Your humble servant,
Gen 'Dee Dubya' Mallory
