I got the idea to do this scenario when I was sifting through some erata/scenario notes for Frank Chadwick's Operation Crusader boardgame. The notes included a scenario between the "Black Rats" and KG Stephan. In investigating the fighting however, I found Chadwick's portrayal to be flawed in that the brunt of the German incursion was borne by the 8th Hussars, rather than the brigade as a whole, which was quite badly dispersed.
Enter Panther Games' scenario maker. I constructed the battle in such a way that AI/0-point and AP objectives would pull the 4th Brigade apart, and give KG Stephan a crack at an isolated 8th Hussars. The regiment gets pulled off toward a "sighting report," and then is sucked into KG Stephan itself. Meanwhile, 3RTR is led even farther astray by more "sighting reports, and the 5th RTR camps-out on Gabr Saleh, itself.
The map itself may seem larger than necessary, but I made it in anticipation of doing a much larger scenario for the fighting on Nov 20th. Thus, the extra real-estate.
