This scenario is the same as “Meeting Engagement” except for the game board. The dimensions of the game board remain the same from game to game, but the actual layout of the game board may change.

Scenario Set-up Option One: Before the players build their forces and before strategy decks and operations cards are determined, the game board is set up. Either by choice or random pick, one side sets up the map. The game board must follow the configuration as shown in the illustration. It is completely up to the side setting up the map which map boards and terrain tiles are used, but terrain features must be sensible: no incomplete hills, roads, streams, etc. Once the map is finished, the other side picks which end each side starts on.

Scenario Set-up Option Two: After the players build their forces (but kept secret) and before strategy decks and operations cards are determined, the game board is set up.

Optional Terrain: If all players agree, map boards and/or terrain tiles from Tide of Iron expansions may be used in creating the game board for this scenario.

Special Rules

Building your You army: receive 10 free squad bases. In secret, you must build your forces using the appropriate American or German Build Roster (see below).
Use the number of scenario “Build Points” given (see below) to build your forces. Once you finished filling out your roster, wait for your opponent(s) to finish, and then exchange your roster with your opponent(s) so they can check and gather your units. Once you receive your units for the game, you are free to organize them as you wish, but the four holes in a squad base must be filled before starting a new squad. That is, only one squad base is allowed to be partially filled with any leftover figures.

  • Place a value “1” Command Objective marker of your nation in the yellow-bordered hex on your starting side.
  • At the end of round 6 (and any subsequent rounds), the player with the initiative rolls one die. If the number on the die plus the current round number is equal to 12 or more, the game ends. Otherwise, another round is played.
  • Players receive one Victory Point for each Victory Objective marker they control. During Step 3 of the Command Phase of every round, players may spend available Command Points to buy Victory Points at the rate of 3 Command Points for 1 Victory Point.
  • Build Points: The number of Build Points for the scenario is determined by rolling one die. On 1 both sides get 70 Build Points; 2–3, both sides get 90 Build Points; 4–5, both sides get 100 Build Points; 6, both sides get 120 build points.
  • The extended roadways: Should players need to during set-up, they are allowed to extend their road further to make room for squads and vehicles. If enough road tiles are not available, use a temporary substitute. Squads and vehicles on the extended roadway are not allowed to fire and must always advance forward to get on the main game board.
  • Choosing Strategy Decks: At the same time and in secret, each side fills out his Strategy Deck Priority by writing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in any order next to the name of a deck.
    Each number can be used only once, with 1 being the lowest priority and 6 the highest priority. Both sides reveal their selections at the same time. Starting with 6, players compare their choices. If the choice is unique to one player, he receives that Strategy Deck. If both players selected the same deck (i.e., both wrote 6), that deck is removed from the game. Proceed by checking 5, then 4, etc. until each side receives two Strategy Decks. Once both sides receive two Strategy Decks, the procedure is finished. Though uncommon, it is possible to receive no Strategy Decks (or only one) because each side used the exact same priority numbers for each deck.
  • Choosing Operations Cards (001-018): At the same time and in secret, each side fills out his Operations Cards Selections by writing the name or number of three Operations cards to be removed from the game and two he would like to receive. If the Operations card he wants to receive has not been removed from the game, he receives that card. If both sides wrote down the same Operations card, that card is shared during the game.

Effective Road Movement (For all Trucks): It costs one half (1/2) of a movement point - instead of one third (1/3) - for trucks to enter a contiguous road hex.
