Zboiska Heights BFP 131 - I wanted to like this scenario when I set up. I uses the double wide boards which I love, and it has a lot of terrain which I also love. But, I hated it from the very beginning. Tom and I have agreed to attempt every scenario in the PiF pack so we gave this one a try this morning. Two design choices really killed my vibes on this one from the beginning. First, the long charge by the northern force of poles under the guns of the Germans and Second, these really cool trucks which have no place to go and have to skulk onto the board because they come in right under the guns of the German.
The scenario was over on Polish Player Turn 1. Tom killed 50% of my leadership on game turn one including 2/3 of the northern groups leaders. Really wasn't any point in continuing.
After I conceded, Tom and I talked about the scenario. He feels, on the northern side the pole should just wait for the artillery to cycle then commence the death march. Of course, that means I have a bunch of green guys an entire turn behind with a mountain to climb. We really couldn't come up with anything good to say about the southern attack force. It's a power house, but has no space.
The Polish balance is little help, a dm80 Mtr. I would like to see the Polish southern forces entry be changed to Enter on Turn 1 or later. Giving the Poles time to carve out some space. Then. the truck might have some value. As disappointed as this scenario is I think I would still play it as the Pole again to see if any of the points Tom and I discussed actually make a difference. Up Next Steel Garden which at first blush looks to fall into the same bucket as this one.
