The 4th time was a charm. After 3 tries in which my troops faired dismally, I finally managed to completely sweep the six objectives in the town of Ghazwah.
This is an after action report on a custom made scenario.
My first objective: Run as fast as I can up the north east edge of the map to the factory in the north east corner. My suspicion is that the factory is undefended if the last 3 tries at the game are any indication.
