Yeah, I got your scenarios, right here...
For X-Com I've had STUD-Com: Strategic & Tactical Ufo Defense COMmand. Same
thing: Aliens, commandos, crashed UFOs, cows, probes, not always in that order.
Shadownrun:1865 - Civil War with Magic. Grant vs Lee. The Monitor vs a Kraken.
Sherman's Undead March to the Sea, trolls, elves, Lincoln.
Shadowrun:1916 - WWI with Magic. Trench warfare, Red Baron dragon rider's,
mustard gas, trolls, elves, Kaisers.
Shadowrun:1942 - WWII with Magic. Necromancers, wyrm squadrons, Luftwaffe,
French Resistance, trolls, elves, Nazis.
CounterStrike: Commandos verse terrorists. Applicable to all environments.
(Shadowrun: CounterStri...okay, I'll stop).
Terminator: Future-post-apocalypse war setting. Ruined cities, resistance
fighters, H/Ks and Arnold.
Space Hulk: Space Marines vs genestalkers (or whatever they were called). Squads
enter drifting hulks to purge the unclean. I'm guessing this is probably close
to the aliens game NELUG played.
Zombies!: A group of, initially, lightly-to-not armed players faces a town of
ever-expanding zombies. I see this as a different kind of BrikWars game. Team
Town (TT) starts with *lots* of units, but they're not armed. Team Zombie (TZ)
has a single unit or only a few. TT perhaps has to wait until zombies are
confirmed before seeking shelter and weapons. TZ has to only land a critical hit
to turn a townie into a zombie. Only called-headshots or fire can destroy
zombies. You could kick in a little *28 Days Later...* and give TZ
Turbo-Zombies.
I'm sure I can dig up some more.
