Huib:

I understand... and would agree that having EA = ON will benefit the defending force. However; Curt, who is the DEI scenario designer, states in his original post that the "The scens are weighted so that the Dutch can win" ... Mike Abberton states that "...overall they [scenarios] are fairly balanced, on average" ... and The Fall of Tarakan scenario description does not recommend the use of any optional rules (including EA)... so my assumption is that players can utilize any optional rules of their choice... and the scenario would still maintain it's balance? :chin:

So... I'm simply asking for a PBeM game so that I can see for myself how the Dutch can achieve a victory? :cool2:
