Scenario Details

Game Length and Initiative:

The game length is 4 Turns. British player is Player A and starts the game.

Special Scenario Rules:

The beach is made of very soft sand, it costs 2 MP to enter a sand hex.

For the first turn only the British have reduced MP allowance, all units have 1 less point than usual. This represents the dismounting from the dingies.

The Minefields are clearly marked, to stop the locals wandering into them! However they may be fake, the crews who laid the Minefields in this area forgot to leave a map. So whenever a unit first moves into a Minefield hex a special die roll is made. A score of 4+ means the Minefield is fake, thus remove the minefield token from the board. If the minefield is real, roll dice as normal for the Minefield.
