0812_04: The Race for Messina (Fixed German Units)_Alt - PzC 08 Sicily '43

Messina, Sicily, August 12th 1943: By this late date in the battle, the final result was no longer in doubt. Sicily would soon be completely in Allied hands. General Hube, against Hitler's wishes, issued orders the previous evening to begin evacuating XIV Panzer Corps. "What If" those orders and plans for evacuation had never come to pass? In this scenario we will examine events had the German troops stood and held their ground at all costs. This scenario uses many fixed units for the Axis side and although victory levels have been included, the idea of the scenario is to create a race between the two Allied Players and not so much a traditional battle of Axis vs. Allies. [Size medium] Designer Note - can be played many different ways, one of which would see two Allied Humans talking on the AI, where each Allied player takes a turn watching the AI complete it's move with no replay for the other human. House Rules such as those with US British Lines might be agreed upon. See the game NOTES file for more information on this scenario and scenario set.
