Good Relations

Title: Good Relations

Synopsis: Elements of the French Resistance have reported a German presence near a town known for their opposition to German occupation. While the town is of little strategic value, the town is seen as a proving ground to foster more local support from the surrounding regions. For that reason, two of three regiments stationed in that area are to be called to join the local resistance and eliminate any opposition in the area. The commander of forces in the area has said that the French Resistance in known to exagerate and to expect only light and sporadic resistance :-).

Victory Conditions: The army with the most points at the end of turn 10.

I have play tested this and enjoyed it. I hope you all enjoy it, too!

Anyone else try this? It's hard to gauge how well a scenario runs when only two people have played it.

Do you have or is there a date for this scenario?

This was not really historical, but based upon a few stories from my Dad's father when he was moving through France. The year would be 1944.
