Another Fall Grau Playtest

Post by golden delicious »

For those that are interested, I've started another Fall Grau AAR over at TDG. This is a mirror of sorts of the last match in that Jeremy and I have changed places and I am now the Axis, but the scenario has been overhauled a fair bit since the last version, so all bets are off.

A mixed force of Mexicans lifts the siege of Oaxaca, turn 19. Though not strong on their own, Mexican guerrillas can be used to raise hell across the country if unchecked, causing regular troops to spring up like weeds.

Axis forces purse the collapsed Allied front in the Midwest, turn 37.

The AAR will run for another few turns over at TDG but this will be the last of my updates here. I seem to have gotten a lot of "views" but whether that means anyone has read the AAR I don't know.

Let me know if you have any comments. There are one or two non-designer tests ongoing at the moment and I like to think we may get relatively quickly to a place where the scenario can be published for general consumption.
