I think that X-Mech is after more of the monkey in a freezer two options of which way to go down the river, use a helicopter take some ice from the factory leave the injured with the girls , take the boat avoid the railway type scenario. I don't think he is after combat estimate type scenario (7 Q's etc).
No mech I dont have any available as they were given to the last person who did selection, however your training wing should have some or YofS blerk.
Sure, I agree but the 7 Q's can still be of use even in the 'monkey in a freezer' sketch as it can act as a brain clearing ex in the heat of a selection process.
What am I being asked to do?
Why?
Constraints? etc
It is amazing how many people dive straight in at the deep end, spurred on by self-induced nerves, without thinking about what they are being asked to do.
The word 'combat' is best left out as everyone thinks it is automatically about bayonetting monkeys in freezers...
The other point is that in a lot of these tests/estimates/appreciations/planning exs it doesn't really matter if you get there, it's how you went through the planning process that matters. And even if you don't finish in time a 'competent' person will be able to guage a person from the process committed to paper - so write things down!
The last question - does the organisation get a 'competent' person to look at these exs?
