Scenario 02 - A Very Nice Change
Initial Italian Position. I was inspired by Wayne Baumber's AAR and split the Italians in two groups very far apart. I was hoping the Italians would hold on one of the positions while inflicting sufficient casualties in the other.

I also split the Polish force into two groups but I won't give too much details as my goal is to help others set up the defensive side, not to show how I played the whole scenario.

Scenario 03 - Breakout and Pursuit
Initial Italian position. Maybe I am influenced by fever but I believe the Italians have a chance to win this one.

That is a great leader draw for the Italians! My problem was that I didn't have many morale assists. Also I was very dispersed and needed to consolidate my defenders.

Scenario 04 - Fraternal Assistance
Finally, a non-static defense scenario! A scenario I enjoyed.

Scenario 05 - On the Attack
Another static defense situation. I believe the Poles are favored in this one.

By the way, Daniel - your pictures are turning out great. It looks like you were able to find that sweet spot with lighting et al..
Good job!

Thanks Tony.
I was planning to play all the Carpathian Brigade scenarios but I am not so sure anymore; too many static defenses with similar orders of battle. I will figure it out after scenario 5 or 6.

Scenario 06 - The White Knoll
Another static defense.
I may not have applied SSR #3 correctly. My interpretation was the Italian AT guns were subject to this rule but that made for a boring scenario.

I will take a break from Carpathian Brigades for a while to experiment with something other than static, box defenses. My experience so far with this supplement is the scenarios are good studies of box defenses, but lacks variety as to the order of battle.

Have posted a comment on one of your AAR's re Scenario 2. Good work here Daniel. I must admit I have never felt the need to try and play through one game set/module hence my depressing lack of campaign ribbons.
Alan Sawyer and I are slowly playing FoF games and enjoying them but I suspect we will branch off at some stage.
