Battle for Border River Valley (Beta) by Jim Konopka 1 September, 1943. "Battle for Border River Valley", Border River Valley: [Best Played vs. Human] Intelligence has informed us that you are about to engage an enemy that is equal in force and position. Large fictional area includes a major river, healthy population connected by good road system, varied terrain, and numerous objectives. Fictional large scale battle begins with a limited number of units opposing each other across a bridge. Several large forces are assembled in the rear areas, awaiting orders. Should be plenty of opportunity for varied battle plans. This scenario was designed to be perfectly balanced. The map is symmetrical. The forces (Axis Italian vs. Allied Italian) are identical and start in mirror positions. Axis moves first, but it's Action Points are halved for it's first turn. The Ordeal Begins by Eric Field September 17, 1944 Arnhem. On this day, the 1st British Airborne Division drops to the east of the city in an effort to capture the road bridge over the lower Rhine, at the same time unknowingly landing on two SS panzer divisions stationed in the area for refit. So begins the nine day struggle of one of World War II's most daring and most heart wrenching battles. My Own Scenarios This is a '3' complexity, 20 turn game designed specifically for 2x2 player netplay. It is a hypothetical meeting engagement between two nearly identically matched combined arms task forces of two reinforced battalions each. It is intended to be fun, fast and furious. I'd suggest timed turns of 10 to 15 minutes per side. If you can, edit the 'Escargot.org' file to replace the formation and leader names with your four players' names, it adds to the fun. Also, if all players agree, you can also use the editor to re-arrange the org file (not add or delete units but change the command structure of the existing units) to fit your battle plan. Also please check out the "Designers Guild" Scenarios page for more WF scenarios!
