The Korean War scenario is moderate in size, but I would suggest you start out with something simplier but nonetheless interesting. The one I started out with was the Italian East Africa (British invasion of in WW2) scenario. As the British, you just got a handful of units and that is a lot easier to deal with. In fact, for me I just started out with the northern part of this.... was a while before I even realized there was a southern part <g>. With the north as the British, you just got two good sized units, and a handful of smaller ones, with many of these being best left in their trenches. An army marches on it's stomach and you gotta get a handle on supply as your first priority. Then there is unit cooperation, the 10 rounds in a turn, a couple of air units, and you can do some sea transport. Was a while before I realized I had to break down that one British marine unit so I could transport it. Got a handle on the northern operations, then started doing the southern part as well, played until I got a decisive win. The second scenario I tried, was Singapore as the Japanese. A relatively small scenario but nonetheless interesting. You start with overwhelming force but your troops are low on supply and readiness. But, if you wait until they are up to full strength, you will probably lose your opportunity for a decisive win. So, you embark and land but, then they are outta supply and you gotta establish a supply line by making progress along the neck of land to Singapore and then linking up. Elmer, will try to stop this but, probably not as hard as a human player would. In all, an interesting challange and a small scenario. DiT
