Scenario Briefings for defensive scenarios

Post by Longasc »

In defensive scenarios the player usually doesn't move first.

This is barely worth mentioning as in most campaign scenarios the player moves first. But as the campaign progresses defensive scenarios become much more common.
How should this rather critical information be communicated to players in the scenario briefings?

What do you think?


My suggestion:
January 1st, 19xx
(The enemy moves first in this scenario)

In bold letters, right at the start of the briefing. How would you do it? Rather bold somewhere in the text or at the end? Or a pure and fuzzy text information a la "the enemy has the initiative".

I like the bold at the beginning. Often I don't get past the first line in my eagerness to get into the battle! Just one more reason I'd like to be able to access the briefing during the battle, too.
