I'm not personally interested but I do have a couple of comments to make for your consideration.

Firstly, you are a 'mixed team'. The Club rewards 'Battles' over 'Maneuvers' with Maneuvers only attracting half the OBD points compared with Battles. [Note: Most of my games in the past year have been Maneuvers, but that is a different story.] Thus, in the Club it is very much a case of Us versus Them. I have played against mixed teams before, for some reason it just didn't feel right.

Secondly, at first glance at the Opponent Finder I thought that you were proposing Gettysburg 019 (stand on Pipe Creek) - a lopsided scenario where I feel the Confederates have next to no chance of success. I now realise that you are considering the custom BG19 Gettysburg Meeting Engagement.
Many Club Members do not have the custom scenarios and do not bother to download them. I recently had my Gettysburg Supplied scenario (https://wargame.ch/board/acwgc/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=24089) added to the Custom Database (https://www.acwgc.net/customgames). I don't expect many will be interested but it's now there for others should they want such a thing. I did it so another Member and I could enjoy it but realise that it's probably not everyone's 'cup of tea' (a big scenario that requires commitment to play).

PERHAPS MP games should have a separate that would earn points at the level battles do.
Thanks for the feedback I will download your game as well

IF THE OBJECT IS TO GAIN POINTS IN THE CLUB, THEN YES VALID POINT, BUT IF IT IS TO ENJOY GAMING THEN WHY DOES IT MATTER.
PERHAPS A MP SUPERBOWL EVERY YEAR BETWEEN THE 2 SIDES OF THE CLUB

Once you have 800 or more the OBD points are essentially meaningless. Although there are a couple of medals based on OBD points they are not the sort of gongs that interest me although they may attract others.

It's more a case of what 'feels right'. As Karl said "don't hold your breath sir".
