My just played my first PTO scenario, J76 Ultimate Treachery. Japanese vs French, only half a mapboard and 4.5 turns long. No banzai charges and the only PTO terrain is Palm Trees (which I believe represent the shortest rule section in ASL history.) And as a bonus, the French provide a decrepit only tank for the Japanese to try out TH Heroes on).
Japan wins by occupying 45 (out of a possible 74) building locations. When I was setting up, I was thinking that is should be a pretty easy win for France (they were only slightly outnumbered, and troop quality was similar (split between 1 and 2nd line). As it turned out, Japan was able to encircle the entire French force and winning wasn't that hard.
