Scenario AfKo019

This scenario was played over Skype in one session against Brett. I took the Brits who have to get 8 Steps off the board against a hasty blocking force of AK. The first part of the scenario is a race as the Germans have to move sharply to put the blocking force in place. Brett used his A/Car to slow the Brits and moved his other units behind. However the British INF swarm over the luckless A/Car which gets wiped out. The British commander tactics were simple to pin the German AFVs in assault and hope that between the 25pdr and 40mm can take out the Panzers and SPW's while stuck in assault. This worked a charm, possibly because Brett has not seen this tactic before, and by GT6 all the German units were held in assault. In may ways this was all she wrote, however good tenacious defense by the AK meant that there would be some more work to be done by the British artillery who combining well with BREN and INF finally destroyed the dreaded PZIII and PZII. The road to the south was open and by GT14 out of 16 the British had exited sufficient steps for the win. This was a good little scenario which rewards some forward planning. I feel it favours the 8th Army a little but would be happy to try to lead the Afrika Korps and try and reverse this result.
