Scenario Design question

[tverse]

I am not a designer, I have barely looked at the design side of the game. However, in some scenarios I noticed an in game item
called "events". My question is related to the scenario I am currently playing "Bitter Victory Sicily 1943 PO".
Can "events" be used to simulate airborne drop mayhem? For example when air dropping a unit on a hex an "event" occurs
and it drops the unit 20-30 hexes away (simulating missed drop zones), or it evaporates the unit and allows it to reform
several turns later (simulating dispersion and regrouping), or even evaporate the unit for good (simulating dropped at sea),
or can it reduce the men in the unit to say like half to 2/3 (simulating severe unit losses)?

tverse....I wonder if in the absence of this feature in a scenario you think it would be realistic as a house rule in a MP game (or even as an allied SP game) if paras had to drop at least 3 hexes apart?

There is no 'airborne drop mayhem' event, but generally anything that you can think of doing can be done thru combinations of things and creating complex events.

This would be a good fix. The spacing would need to be thought through given the half day turns.

Sounds like this could work. Thanks.

in case the event system or the game mechanics can't simulate it, there's always the option of house rules and/or the dice. Like a hybrid - e.g. if you roll a D10 with 1-3, you drop the paras 3 hexes away from the objective(s), roll a 4-6, they're placed 2 hexes away, roll a 7-9, 1 hex away. a 10 means they drop at the hex That's what I am going to implement (commander cards and similar) for the Tutorial '50s series.

I like the concept of the die roll....especially if playing PBEM.
