Scenario WotE001

Setup

The Peruvians set up their lone INF platoon with a 7-0-0 Teniente in 0208 on board 19. The Ecuadorians start their march to victory with 2 INF platoons and a 9-0-1 Capitan in 0809 on board 19, and two more INF platoons with the 8-0-0 Mayor right behind them in 0710.

Game

My Ecuadorians marched down the road as quickly as possible to arrive first in town. As the lone Peruvian platoon had taken two opportunity shots at my lead troops, I brought the remaining two platoons next to it in order to demoralize it next turn. Bad move, the Peruvians win the initiative and managed to disrupt one of my platoon.

I came to my senses and moved all my platoons into town. Peruvians attacked and assaulted, but the dice lords were on my side this day and my troops kept making their morale rolls. And missing whatever shots they took so it was not a bloody affair.

I ended up winning when Matt followed my lead and rolled low, but for an assault this time.

Conclusion

Short scenario; I believe we played this one in under 35 minutes. To my mind, it rates a "3" as it is enjoyable and well-balanced.
