Scenario Edel023

I usually reserve ratings of "1" for scenarios that are simply mechanically broken. This isnt strictly the case here. Unfortunately the competitive balance on this scenario is so far out of wack that I cant imagine rating it higher than a 1.

The Germans have a weak force of morale 6 dorks that need to hold a bridge against an overwhelming, combined arms, late war, soviet guards force. To win they cant take more than 6 step losses. This is achieved basically within 1 turn of engagement with the enemy. Never in a million years will the Germans win this against an honest opponent.

This whole expansion book is hyperbolic stories of Austrian Supermen and bumbling SS cowards driven by the publisher's family history no doubt. This leads to many unbalanced scenarios, but this is by far the worst.

The expansion has a few interesting things to play around with, but there is nothing to game with this scenario. Since this one had no other logged plays, im guessing everyone reached that conclusion before bothering to table it. I play them all because im insane, so there it is.
