Looking for an interesting ETO DASL scenario to play face-to-face this autumn, something I haven't played before.
I had a look at the differences between the A13 version published in Annual '95 and DASL19. The A13 version heavily favoured the French (they won about 77% of the time according to ROAR).
A change in the VC makes it a little harder on the Germans though by requiring the Germans to clear all woods and building hexes ADJACENT to the VC-road. Previously, the Germans only needed to clear all woods and building Locations ADJACENT to this road. (This appears to give the Germans nine more Locations to clear than before.)
To help them, the Germans get an extra 4-6-7, LMG, and ATR. The French lose a 4-5-7. That it?
Is the scenario better balanced now? Or have playing styles changed enough since 1995 that the Germans are winning due to better tactics? (As of 15 Oct 2021, ROAR has the Germans ahead 2-1, but these results are hardly conclusive.)
Have you played DASL19? If so, is the updated scenario worth playing? Is it fun?
TIA
