Scenario FaLu001

What an awful scenario . . . perfect for classic bullies. There is no way that the Luxembourg forces can do anything but die for their country. We played this one through via VASSAL in just one session. My gallant opponent really wanted to try and stem the godless Teutonic tide, and I did my best to accommodate this desire in my own inept way. We also used the FOW rule which did help slow down the Germans, as did my poorly-coordinated attacks.

As others have mentioned, this introductory scenario matches a battalion-level German infantry task force and a combat engineer company, against the entire Luxembourg counter mix. The Germans must clear the road of all enemy units and obstacles. The German movement to contact was on as broad a front as I could manage, and in no time the Luxembourgese were decisively engaged. Poor morale and a great deal of active fleeing plagued my opponent throughout this play through, and often prevented decent regrouping.

Alas, the Luxembourg side has absolutely no chance of winning this scenario. Perhaps it is historically correct, but it is hopelessly unbalanced. I gave it a 2, but it really deserves a 1.
