Step 2: Research and gather information of time period you chose to create a scenario 

Step 3: Pick the engagement you want either a historically accurate to the period, or a more  balanced table top game.

Step 4: Select a map/making a submap

Step 5: Create OOB file 

Step 6: Place your troops on the map 

Step 7: Setup objectives

Step 8: Program AI 

Step 9: Play-testing/balancing 

I am going show you my step by step of my process of creating a small FIW scenario 

Turn 010 1758 Campaign

The 6pd Cannon in the NW Bastion fired on a British Provincial company cutting a soldier in two which seemed disrupt the morale in the surrounding British companies. The SW bastion fired its 6pd and was able hit its mark on ricochet, taking the leg of a British Provincial. The swivel 2pd continued its poor shooting missing high and to the left, Colonel Pontleroy is furious with this crew as they continuously waste powder and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn!! British 2 KIA

The French batteries across the river continue perform excellent. The 1^st Battery 6pd cannon (Northern most battery) fired on the pinned and hapless Queens Rangers killing a ranger private that was standing a little too high up. The 2^nd Battery 6pd cannon also fired on Queens Rangers company killing a sergeant that was trying to rally his men. The 3^rd Battery 6pd cannon growing tired of the British playing (The British Grenadiers March) decided to fire on the British Grenadiers which scored a kill. The 9pd Cannon of the same battery was able to kill a Grenadier from the  company higher up on the Hill. The 4^th Battery 6pd & 9pdrs fired on a Highland Company killing 2 highlanders. The 9pd cannon by the bridge fired on the bridge causing three damage bringing it down to the strength 141. 6 British KIA

The French continue their retreat from the fort

Turn 009 1758 Campaign

French Artillerymen continue to fire on the advancing British forces but Artillerymen are preparing to move the Cannons over next hour. 3 British KIA

The French Batteries across the river fire away on the helplessly pinned Queens Ranger companies every well aimed French shot hits their mark. Meanwhile French Engineers begin to place explosives on the bridge (In this game there are no explosives so cannons take their place) British 6 KIA

The First Four French companies leave the fort they will march along the shore under the cover of the French batteries across the river.
