This will be my initial stab at a North African scenario, which involves advance elements of the 8th Army and the LRDG searching for an oasis just south of Matmâta Hills. This is a small fictional action that takes place within the larger action of the Allied attempts to flank the Mareth Line.
The game will be played using the Rapid Fire rules on a 4x6' terrain. I have tried to keep the scenario simple and will not use any artillery observers (medium mortars do not require any) or heavy artillery in this scenario. I will probably use some of the advanced rules (already have night rules in the scenario). Aside from the Indian battalion and some of the British vehicles, I am all done, so I should have lots of time to focus on the terrain and learning the rules. The basic scenario and OB follow (double click and it will be readable and a right click will download it).
I would appreciate any help from any of you WWII gamers with the scenario or the OB. This stuff is completely new to me and there is a lot to learn.

I've been trekking in Matmata Hills - not a lot there. Hills. Sand. Some scrub. It was December and pretty chilly at night.
ReplyDeleteI like the scenario, John. Nice and simple. If you want something to help set the mood for the topic pick up Steven Pressfield's 'Killing Rommel'. A great read.
