For your enjoyment: 4 VERY quick scenarios: good for teaching op
concepts of the game.

September 27, 1918: Allied Grand Offensive

Play in Sept, Oct, Nov/Dec turns in 1918 (skip strat turn R)
Use West map north of 40xx line.
Randomly choose units.  I used Br 3-4s and some 5-4s, and FR low
combat factor units.  Use the 8-4 and 6-7-4 and 5-6-4 for US.

Allies: (set up in Flanders)  8 BR, 1 BR HQ, 6 BR Cav. 8 BE, 1 BE HQ
CP: (Flanders)  12 GE, 1 HQ

Allies (Cambrai to St. Quentin) 40 BR, 3 US,  1 RTC, 1 HQ
CP: 57 GE (18 of those are stormtrooper), 1 HQ, 4 Hind. Line chits

Allies (St. Mihiel)  13 US, 1 US HQ,  (St. Quentin to Rheims and beyond St.
Miheil to border) 31 FR, 2 HQ
CP: 19 GE, 1 AH, 1 HQ

Front line: 6811, 6711, 6612, 6511, 6510, 6410, 6310, 6211, 6111, 6012,
6013, 5912, 5813, 5712, 5613, 5513, 5414, 5314, 5215, 5216, 5217,
5218, 5219, 5220, 5221, 5222, 5322, 5323, 5224, 5123, 5023, 4922,
4823, 4824, 4825, 4826, 4827, 4828, 4728, 4729, 4630, 4530, 4430,
border to end of map

Victory:  Allied Grand victory: (capture any 5 hexes) - Allied Marginal
(capture 1 hex).  CP victory: avoid Allied vict.

We used another house rule: Allied rolled one die per turn and received a
drm for that number of combats to simulate uneven CP morale.


9/12/18   Reduce the St. Mihiel salient

Play same as above.
Use only quarter of the West map w/ Verdun & St. Mihiel.

Allies:  9 US, 1 US HQ, 2 FR
CP: 9 GE (6 low combat factor to represent 2nd line units), 1 HQ

Front line: 5218, 5219, 5220, 5221, 5222, 5322, 5323, 5224, 5123, 5023,
4922, 4823, 4824, 4825, 2925, border to end.

Setup First 7 US div in 4825, 2 FR and 2 US in 5023, 4922, 4823
Place CP units in salient.
Special rule: units can only attack in salient hexes.  Rest of Front line is
assumed to be static or you can fill in w/ FR and CP units.
I used this short game to teach my opponent the game.

Victory: Allied Overwhelming: elim. salient.


August 8, 1918  Reduce the Arras/Amiens salient.

Play August '18 onwards.  Skip strat turns.  Flip BR HQ every 2 turns.
Use northwest corner of the West map (Flanders)

4th British Army:  4 BR, 1 US, 5 BR cal, 5 Aussie (or BR), 4 Canadian (or
BR), 1 HQ, RTC, 1 RAF

(RTC unit represents 342 heavy MK V and 72 Whippet tanks.)

1st French Army:  3 FR

CP (2nd Armee): 13 GE

If you want to use hist. designations, I have found conflicting info but I
present it FYI:  22nd Wurttemberg, 117th were considered completely fit
for battle; 5 divs. were fit for static ops only  (13, 41, 108, 217, ?) 
3 fit for defense only in quiet sector, 3 in need of replacement (109, 
43 Res, ?)  CP reinforcements in Sept turn: 5 GE (incl. 119, 43, 209, 
?, ?)

Setup 4th Army from Arras to Amiens.  Setup FR in south.

6811, 6711, 6612, 6511, 6510, 6410, 6310, 6211, 6111, 6011, 5910,
5811, 5711, 5612, 5512

Allied Victory: take at least 5911


Sept-Nov 1918     Salonika

Play as in first scenario
Use East map (Balkans)

Allied: 29 Div, 1 HQ (setup anywhere on front line)
(3 GR, 7 SE, 9 FR, 7 BR, 3 IT

CP:  9 BU, 3 AH, 2 GE

Front line: 1210, 1211, 1212, 1312, 1313, 1314, 1315, 1316, 1317, 1318,
1319, 1320

Victory:  Allied: take Skojpe  / Overwhelming: take Belgrade   CP: Hold
