Quick Ogre demo ideas needed
With all my ODE stuff and minis procured over recent years, I'd love to run some demo games for my local club. I haven't even had stuff out of boxes in years.
Looking for quick scenarios for complete noobs.

MkII vs 6 AU and 10 INF and a command post makes for a quick, simple game. Demo it by playing the defense (and showing a good defense setup), then let people pair off and play. Be sure to show at least one ram.

Re: Quick Ogre demo ideas needed
Try out a Rolling Encounter battle - think Quatre Bras 1815.
Small groups clashing, like little Battlegroups of mixed forces turning up, getting fed into the fight, to achieve one common objective. E.g., Set Orange board up and fight longways, add a few extra craters and put a CP at each end. One simple Objective - you have to storm enemy CP with an INF squad to retrieve valuable Intel/Asset. A player can construct their Battlegroup from the forces you have to hand to a maximum number of points, deploy in a radius from Home CP and get stuck in. That way you can have players come and go, or re-start again, and you can have the same game churn turn after turn over and over. It's a great fast way to get new players used to the rules, and for them to quickly discover what combat units they like best to suit their game play abilities and perceptions.
