TotR Scenario ASL 300 - Nor Shall Deep Hell Accept Them

[BraveDave]

SSR 5 says that allies will enter on or between 71A6 and 71P6. My experience with ASL scenarios is that entry areas are usually defined by a prominent feature of the board such as a road hex. While 71A6 is a road hex 71P6 is not. Also, this entry area is unusually deep into the axis set up area and just about encircles them on turn 1. Has there been an error in defining the allied entry area and it should be 70A6 and 70P6, two road hexes?

Dear BraveDave,

The scenario card is correct as published. The design intent is to allow the Russian reinforcements the ability to threaten the flanks of the German VC area. Please note that the Russian reinforcements do not start entering until Game Turn 4 and that the portion of the At Start Russian force that chooses to wait and enter after Turn 1 may not do so until Turn 3. This should provide sufficient time/opportunity for the Germans to have to deal with these flanking threats.

Thanks!

Bill

Another question on VC 3. Can bldg G4 be one of the 3 multi hex bldg's controlled or do you have to control G4 and 3 other multi hex bldg's? Thx!

Only 3 multi-hex buildings on board 71 need to be controlled and G4 does not have to be one of them.

Note that the "Control all buildings adjacent to 70G5" is for board 70 - not 71.

Ah thx. Missed that G5 was on 70 not 71. Always read the vc’s…..
