RHS Test 6A3: Scenario 105

Post by el cid again »

Big Red wished to have another shot at 105, so I asked him to
'change something significant in every operational area' - he
surely did that! This test is as unusual as 6A2 was in terms of
the opening move. It continues to illustrate the concept of
the offensive defensive by the Allies.
