Desperately Seeking Reviews
Really! No reviews so far this month. Where is everyone? I at least have an excuse - I am running my PhD experiment and working 12 hours/day

Mao,

There is no membership 'high-bar' that are you required to jump!

Please submit your review to the League at sleague@apolyton.net , bearing in mind the scoring system as set out at sleague.apolyton.net/one2ten.shtml and the policy sleague.apolyton.net/Features/newpolicy.shtml .

Generally the format for reviews have established themselves over time, but ultimately I suggest that you should aim to highlight the strengths or novel aspects (if there are any), any flaws (if there are any), and consider things that may improve the scenario if the author was to revise the game.

Review writing is beneficial in that for yourself it gives you an opportunity to really analyse alternative approaches to scenario development - why things work or don't work, for the scenario author it may provide useful guidance for either revisions or their next scenario, and for the community generally to share insights into scenario structuring and particularly to identify exceptional games.

Does anyone have a scenario he wants to have reviewed? I'll do it!
(Ps: Don't worry if you have read my review on "Magellan", I'm not that tough, it's just because that scenario sucked rock bottom!)

We received a review today of Dracon's ACW1999, so all the rest of those scenarios on the list need reviewing, Stefan.

The Exodus: 1947 link is broken, but I will fix it. I'll also add another WW2 scenario to the list today.

Please note that Erin Ryan's scenario about the war in Kosovo titled Allied Force on the 'To be reviewed' list is (like the Second English Civil War) a MP Gold version scenario, and requires this software in order to play.

I sent a bunch of reviews to Thomas for formatting but have heard nothing back from him - not even an "I got them". So I am starting to think he has vanished off the face of the earth, meaning that I will need to format all those reviews myself.

Well, I'll give him another day or two and try to post the first two tonight.
