Scenario AAAD032

Played against old Treadhead himself, this was one the most lopsided, average scenario's I have played for many a year. Considering the designer is Mr Perryman who I consider to be one of the best I think something must have gone wrong in the printing of this scenario. The Germans have to take the 60m hill "Djebel Semmama" and its surrounding 40m hillsides, they get 1 vp for each 40m hill and 2 vp for each 60m hill. On top of this hill is a miniscule US force about to be totally overwhelmed by a large combined arms battle group from the 164th Light Division, there is no way Allied forces and stop the Germans capturing the hill and outnumbered and outgunned as they are any counterattack is bound to fail. **I normally play scenarios almost to the bitter end no matter what the VP score is looking like but by GT11 I had had enough and although I played another two turns I was not enjoying this one, which is very unfair on my redoubtable opponent who played a good hand with aplomb. I am sure that with some tweaking that this could be a decent scenario until that happens stay clear*
