Scenario AfKo008

When I first read this scenario, I thought it looked interesting. The Germans have to clear a minefield as they enter, then charge across the map and do battle with dug in British on a hill and eventually exit a number of units off the map. The hitch is the Germans may only lose three steps in the process.

The problems arise with the British sole artillery piece, a 25pd, which can blast any spotted non-AVF with impunity. The 5th Pz Reg advanced with their six steps panzers across the map and up the hill on the British right flank. The British 2pd AT guns were ineffective. After dancing around on the hill for a bit – the Germans trying to take out dug in units on a hill, and the British infantry trying to get close enough to assault, I realized the situation was a stalemate. The Germans then decided to drive down the east side of the hill and exited the map – six steps give then a victory. Meanwhile the rest of the 5th Pz Reg is stuck at the entrance area of the map.

A very unsatisfying and unbalanced scenario, which showed such promise at, set up.
