[Trois Ponts, Belgium] : [H2H] [WIF] [BB] : WARPAC units blaze
through Germany as NATO units struggle to cope with them. A downsize
had been in effect since late '89, and no-one saw it coming.
Elements of the GSFG have broken through, and are punching through
the Ardennes in the Stavelot area. Belgian forces from nearby
are rushed in to stem the tide while heavier units are sent in.[Version 1.1] [ALL]
Version 1.1-Added an attack helo squadron for the NATO player, and raised the lower victory point hex up to allow a better standing for the NATO player, if retaken later.</div>

Minor Victory
My Side
WARPAC
Turns Played

Balance and Enjoyment
The NATO player mentioned he thought they need a bit more AT, so have added in an attack helo squadron.
Victory Conditions
Got a good majority of them, advance stalled, then went defensive once the NATO started entering en force!
Map & Terrain
Map is awesome.
Historical Introduction
Fictional, want to go a little more in depth with intro.
Game Length
I think just about right.
Force Mix
NATO has a mix of Belgian, and US forces, WARPAC is the Polish 20th "Kalisz" Tank division, in all it's glory.
What I really liked about this scenario
As WARPAC, blasting across the countryside, trying to snatch up victory hexes, before the NATO forces can appear and make life miserable!

Balance and Enjoyment
I felt that the Nato forces needed a bit more AT capability as the hordes of WARPAC tanks is a little overwhelming at times.
Victory Conditions
Yes, I think they are both attainable and defendable.
Map & Terrain
Great map with loots of room for movement and many options.
Historical Introduction
Good, fictional.
Game Length
Godd
Force Mix
Very interesting, with the later introduction of the Abrams and the early capabilities of the leopard.
What I really liked about this scenario
I really like the WARPAC doctrine vs the Nato approach. It is very interesting to experience the vast improvement in weapons systems in terms of range and lethality.
What I really did not like about this scenario
Nothing I don't like.

Balance and Enjoyment
I played the WARPAC this time, and didn't get nearly aggressive as I had before, and lost very badly. Not sure if the addition of assets to NATO forces upset the balance, or just my lousy playing this time?!
Victory Conditions
Not even close this round.
Map & Terrain
Very good
Historical Introduction
Intro is fine
Game Length
Seems about right, any longer and I would be wiped out!
Force Mix
Nice array of forces.
Initial Setup
Setup is fine
What I really liked about this scenario
Cool battle at the site of WW2 battles.
What I really did not like about this scenario
My lousy play this time.
