The (Unofficial) Great Battles of History

Scenario Database


GBoH Home

Every now and then GMT publishes a list of all the scenarios in the GBoH system. The lists are interesting and somewhat useful, but they're never current for very long, and didn't tell me anything about the scenarios as games. Is a scenario balanced? Can I fit it on my table? How many special rules does it require?

Dissatisfied with these shortcomings, I made my own list, and because I want to know different things at different times I made it sortable in various ways.

Then I figured that if I'm interested in this information, you might be too, so here you go. Enjoy! And I'm always looking for feedback.

Warning: accepting all the defaults makes a very w--i--d--e table!
