Seems that getting AI to quickly help with scenario creation can help so long as one is clear on the instructions. Little Wars TV did a video on doing this. Been wanting to try the skirmish version of One Page with my son so hoping he will like this game.
Grimdark Firefight Scenario: Sky fallen
Points: 300 per side (as listed below)
Battle Size: Skirmish
Board Size: 3' x 3' recommended
Game Length: 6 Rounds
Background
The hive-city district of Saint Drusus Reach has fallen silent. Vox traffic ceased three solar cycles ago when reports emerged of pale horrors erupting from the underhive depths. Now the streets belong to the alien Hive Snatchers, who drag the living into dark tunnels beneath the ruined manufactorums.
A strike force of the Dark Templars has answered a final astropathic distress signal. Veteran Master Brother Gidious leads a rapid-response force deployed by orbital drop pods into the heart of the infestation. Their mission is simple: secure vital supply caches, locate intelligence on the enemy tunnels, and eliminate the Hive Snatcher Alpha before the district is completely overrun.
The Templars carry limited ammunition for the emergency assault. Every bolt shell must count.

1-3
Ammunition Cache
4-5

6
Tunnel Marker
Try to spread objectives evenly across the table.
The Hive Snatcher player deploys first within 12" of the table center.
The Dark Templars deploy using Drop Pod Assault.

A model with no Ammo Counters remaining may not make ranged attacks.
Resupply
A model in contact with an Ammunition Cache may spend an action to resupply.
Gain 3 Ammo Counters (maximum 6).
Each Ammunition Cache can only be used twice during the game.
Tunnel Emergence
The Hive Snatchers know the ruins better than their prey.
At the end of each Hive Snatcher turn, if they control a Tunnel Marker, they may move one unit within 3" of that marker to another Tunnel Marker on the battlefield.
The arriving unit must be placed wholly within 3" of the destination marker and more than 1" from enemy models.

Character
Master Brother Gidious, Veteran Commander of the Dark Templars
"Faith is the shield. Fury is the sword. Doubt is death."
Master Brother Gidious is a battle-hardened veteran of the Dark Templars, a commander whose name is spoken with equal parts reverence and fear among his Chapter's brethren. He leads from the front, believing that no warrior should be asked to face a foe he would not meet himself.
Appearance
Towering even among power-armoured warriors, standing nearly eight feet tall in full plate.
Ancient black artificer armour scarred by centuries of warfare.
Deep silver battle damage marks across his chest plate from a duel with a xenos warlord.
White crusader tabard worn and stained with ash, bearing countless campaign purity seals.
Red glowing eye lenses beneath a heavily ornamented crusader helm.
A cloak of dark crimson fabric hangs from his shoulders, scorched at the edges from orbital insertions and close combat.
His left pauldron bears the chapter cross, while the right displays dozens of campaign markings and honour scrolls.
Weapons
"Vowkeeper"
Relic power sword carried for over a century.
Its blade crackles with blue-white energy.
Ancient High Gothic inscriptions run the length of the weapon proclaiming eternal service and holy vengeance.
Personality
Calm and disciplined under fire.
Rarely raises his voice; his certainty alone inspires obedience.
Has little patience for hesitation or excuses.
Deeply protective of his battle brothers despite his stern demeanor.
Believes every battle is a sacred trial of faith.
Keeps a record of every fallen warrior under his command and recites their names before major engagements.
Reputation
Gidious has spent decades fighting in hive wars, boarding actions, and planetary purges. Numerous campaigns have earned him the title"The Sky-Fallen Commander", a reference to his preference for sudden orbital assaults that strike directly into the heart of enemy territory. Entire rebellions have collapsed when news spread that Gidious had entered the war zone.
During the Battle of Saint Drusus Reach
In the assault on Saint Drusus Reach, Gidious personally volunteered to lead the emergency strike force after the final distress signal was received. His mission is not simply to destroy the Hive Snatchers, but to locate survivors, secure evacuation routes, and slay the brood's Alpha leader before the district is entirely consumed. The scenario specifically identifies him as the leader of the Dark Templar force deployed by drop pod into the infestation.
Hive Snatcher Broodlord "The Insidious One"
Long before the city fell silent, witnesses reported a shadow moving across the ruined spires. Survivors spoke of a winged horror that watched from above, marking victims before entire districts vanished overnight.
The creature now known as The Insidious One is believed to be the brood's alpha organism. Possessing leathery wings, razor talons and an unsettling intelligence, it strikes where resistance is weakest before disappearing back into the darkness.
Appearance
Thin, skeletal frame with elongated limbs.
Bat-like wings spanning the width of a narrow street.
Pale chitin streaked with oily black.
Glowing yellow or green eyes.
Tentacle-like feeder organs surrounding a fanged maw.
Tattered cloak of flayed hive-worker uniforms hanging from its shoulders.
Special Rules
Flying Predator
This model ignores terrain while moving and may move across buildings and ruins.
Insidious Stalker
Enemy units suffer -1 to hit this model if it is more than 6" away.
Mark the Prey
At the start of its activation, nominate an enemy unit within line of sight. Friendly Hive Snatcher units gain +1 to hit that unit until the end of the round.
Terror from Above
When this model charges from an elevated position or after moving over terrain, it gains +1 attack for that combat.
Scenario Objective
Slay the Insidious One (+3 VP)
The Dark Templars believe the creature directs the brood through pheromones and psychic impulses. If the Veteran Master Brother can bring it down, the infestation may collapse into disorganized packs.
