Scenario FaoF021

Did anyone play test this scenario? The sheer weight of numbers on the Moroccan side with 16 tuns make this inevitable on the outcome. The only chance I saw in this as the Germans was to hopefully get the initiative and take town hexes on the first turn to gain the defense bonuses. I did so but it still did not matter. The scenario needed either different victory conditions or a casualty limit on the Moroccans. This simply turned into a slow drudgery of watching the Moroccans assault across the map. Gadz! I hate scenarios like this. But the reason why I gave it a 2 is that it might be, just might, be interesting to play solo.

Note: We played this with the red Moroccan counter thus giving the Moroccans the stronger ESC counters. This may make a difference in balance.

My complaint with this kind of scenario is there is not much for the defending player to do except take a turn-by-turn dice rolling beating. Not much fun.
