I play The Escape scenario #19 from AK tonight, great play! The more I play Afrika Korps the more it is becoming my favorite in the series! I first went and bought a piece of plexi-glass 22” X 34” like stated on the box as the map size. But the map is actually more like 23” X 35” I found out but it still worked very well! It held all the edges down and is only 1/8” thick so it looked very nice as well. I guess I got tried of the folds in the paper maps! OK back to the game! The Germans won as the British only got 5 steps off the exit hexes. The Germans don’t need to worry about losing steps, just keeping the British from getting 6 or more steps across the other side of the map. The German started out well with high initiative rolls and were able to get some units into blocking positions. I made the mistake with the British of trying to run around the blocking units with full APC/Bren Carriers. I don’t know if I should admit this but I lost the first one, loaded with a Major & a 25lb gun, lost them all in one shot because they were passengers! The trucks I had to unload and try to fight it out while making progress to the East. The Germans shot up the trucks with their armor to make sure the British Infantry would have to go out on foot. The British A13 did take out a PzII but it was also destroyed in the process by the PZIIIG. The small assortment of German Infantry, AT Gun, Armored Car, Half-Tracks & Armor were able to destroy, disrupt or demoralize the British so much, that only 5 steps were able to exit the victory hexes! APC’s, trucks & Leaders don’t count as victory steps so only 4 steps of infantry and one 40mm gun made it. The whole battle really got strung out along the road. I think I should have kept the British together and fought it out as a group but I was worried about the 16 turn time frame and being able to get enough steps off the board. This one is worth trying again someday but so many more to play!
