Scenario AfKo044

This is another Afrika Korps scenario that unfortunately needed a lot more time in the oven. The setup just doesnt make sense. Units are unable to enter anything but a small section of the map (fair enough) but setup areas and VC points and terrain features are on all sides of the limitations. Could be the frequent offset issue, could be not all of the limitations are appropriate, could be anything really.

The ultimate payoff if you DYO scenario from the framework we have left after removing the conflicting instructions is just another slog for the Australians to get butchered taking strongpoints that they dont have the firepower to deal with. This time they get attacked by their own tanks too to make it even harder on those poor guys.

I couldn't rightfully declare a winner as the VCs themselves conflict with the setup instructions. My Australians got butchered after achieving nothing. There really isn't much to tell though. While the circumstances around Tobruk may be accurate here, there are plenty of other scenarios where you do the exact same thing but with coherant instructions. Its really not worth the effort to "fix" this one. I did for completionist's sake, but I'm silly like that.
