OT2020 Round 5
As Tournament Director I rarely indulge my whims, but this is one of those moments!
This is a variant of an official scenario, and when I explain a bit about the scenario and variant, I hope you understand my whim.
The official scenario 111 Ocaña - Cavalry Action (18 November 1809) has the dubious distinction of being 87% pro-French in 31 plays. I figure I therefore cannot break this scenario, because it is already broken. The hypothesis you are about to test is that by reducing the strength of the French cavalry to 3 (equal to the Spanish), the scenario will be far better balanced. I've also presumed that the Guerrilla Marker has been successfully used to cancel the first French turn, and that the Guerrillas have left to celebrate.
To keep the scenario lively, Some infantry use only Command and Tactician cards have been removed from play. If you draw any of the cards listed, discard and draw a new card immediately. This list is also in the notes.
Command Cards not in play | Tactician Cards not in play |
Bayonet Charge |
Break the Square |
I have tested other all cavalry scenarios with this kind of modification, and I'm hypothesising that this scenario will play quickly, but more evenly with a reduced Command and Tactician deck, and equal strength units.
