Which White Dwarf were these battles in? I've only read the Gogard
battles between Andy and Jervis, so this is news to me. As far as such
scenarios go, if you take a look in the battles book there are all
kinds of deployment rules, from flanking forces to planetary assaults
to hidden and entrenched positions. So far I have found all the basic
and historical refight scenario to be a lot of fun, but I was
disappointed in the Fog of War scenarios. There are a lot of good
ideas in the Fog of War section, but the random draw system for the
missions results in some very unsatisfying games, even with playing
best 3 of 5. Anyway, check out the scenarios in the book and I'm sure
you'll find whatever they used.
