Default Convention Game

I'm looking for advice on running a convention game of Ogre and I have a few questions:
  • scenarios (multiple players or 2 teams) - ideally they will feature a mix of Ogres and regular units on each side.
  • map(s) suggestions - I am also considering are larger hexes (3") to fully hold an Ogre. I will have any map(s) I use scanned and printed at twice the size, or kitbash my own and have that printed.

I have Ogre Designer's Edition, two copies of Ogre Miniature Set 1, and two copies of Ogre Battle Box I want to use.

Thanks!

For scenarios, give each player a cybertank and some conventional units. Have two sides--and don't think you need the same amount of players on each side.

For a convention, I've always found the exercise T scenario works well. I usually through in some targets besides your opponents to shoot at (or that shoot back) as well as a few objectives, known and hidden.
I'm assuming you"re using the ODE boards and rules. By using hex boards you eliminate the need for the tape measures and such

If you want to use the mini rules then you can just tell everyone the hex gris doesn't exist and stay straight mini. You do get a lot more variation with ODE.

Have a look at OgreMap. It lets you create maps and either print them or save them as image.
