Scenario	AFro003

This is the second time playing through this scenario (it appears unaltered from Lions of Finland). Both plays worked out entirely the same.

The soviets start deployed on the road ready to bolt west and then north around the forest and off the board.

The Finns set up as far and west as possible with the goal of bolting north then west around the woods hoping to cut off the Soviets.

The problem is all units move at the same speed. The Finns, if deployed as thing and wide as possible once reaching the blocking position will have one turn to assault the head of the Soviet column (assuming they dont lose initiate of the crucial turn). You will likely win the assault, but it wont matter as the Soviets will still ski past you here and exit the board with, in my case 8 steps.

Maybe I am missing something, but both plays were exactly the same aside from immaterial leader draws.

These types of race off the board scenarios really dont work in the PZG system as ultimately the units move at the same speed and cant create a pseudo ZOC to effectively block.
