Scenario AfKo044

For the last 6, or so, weeks, I have been playing a series of Afrika Korps scenarios in solo mode, that others have branded as suitable for solo play only. This one has been referred to as half-baked, and the description fits, as this is poorly play-tested mess. I won't bore the reader with a more thorough description of how badly designed this battle is -- but from the initial setup, to the victory conditions -- this one is fatally flawed. One ends up having to make this into a do it yourself effort to try and make any sense out of the scenario directions. In this solo effort, the Australian/British side managed a very costly win on nearly the last of the WAY TOO MANY, 32 game turns.

Perhaps the order of battle for this engagement is historically accurate, but I strongly recommend giving this deplorable mess of a scenario a pass, and if you must play it, do so in solo mode, so you can at least try your luck at making the many fixes required to at least make it playable. I give this one a VERY GENEROUS rating of 2, but it is really not suitable for shared play.
