Thank's for the response.
There is an aspect to this particular SIM training event that I have not told.
When I asked for the Severe Damage Memory Items, the FO refused to do them. Even after I told him I was the Captain and I would take the blame if it was wrong. I asked for this 4 times and the situation had gotten more and more out of hand while the FO was refusing to support me. I ended up flying single pilot.
I shut down the engine myself and then we got into a discussion.
That is why I'm asking for some input.
I think when things get out of hand, you do what needs to be done to get the airplane back under control. The two checklist's are identical from step 1 through step 3, only the Sever Damage Memoty Items will shut down the engine right away.
We got into a very strange situation, thanks to the FO not following my command.
