Scenario ElsR008

Concur with Enrique's AAR and thoughtful critique of this poorly-designed and unplaytested, unbalanced, disaster of a scenario -- desperately in-need of a thorough rewrite! This one is the PG equivalent of a "shoot 'em up" video game. No real strategy, or a coherent OPLAN is possible, given the odd, setup instructions. These could be easily corrected to indicate zones of placement for both sides, while still maintaining the historical confusion & chaos of intermixed opposing units in close terrain.

This one is suitable for SOLO play ONLY, as the setup instructions are a serious chore to attempt in shared, in-person, or online play. As published, giving it a rating of 1 n SHARED play seems more than generous, IMHO. It probably deserves a 2 in SOLO play.

I didn't have so much trouble with it, as a scenario. It just doesn't work well if you are trying to force a plan. It is very brittle though.
