Scenario 5:
After the defeat of the FAPLA forces at Yankee Base the SADF
counter-attacked and a mobile battle followed across a wide expanse of
territory near the border.
The fighting was confused for both sides with the enemy forces in all
directions. The challenge was to coordinate an attack with widely scattered
forces.
Cuban and Angolan FAPLA soldiers re-group at the border after the defeat at YANKEE Base

the table from the centre of one long edge to the opposite edge
1. 1. Both players roll a die. The
highest-scoring player is the Attacker.
2. The Attacker picks
a table quarter to attack from.

4. Both players,
starting with the Attacker, place one Objective in their own quarter.
5. Both players,
again starting with the Attacker, place one Objective in their opponent’s
quarter.
6. All Objectives
must be at least 8”/20cm from all table edges and at least 12”/30cm from the
table centre..
DEPLOYMENT
1. Both players undertake political manouevre
2. Both players select up to three of their units to deploy and hold the
rest in Delayed Reserve.
3. The Reserves will arrive from the long table edge adjacent to the
player’s quarter.
4. Both players, starting with the Attacker, then take turns at placing
a deployed Unit in their own quarter, at least 12”/30cm from the table centre.

WINNING THE GAME
At game end award 20 points for capturing an objective in the enemy’s
quarter and 5 points per enemy unit destroyed. Player with highest points total
wins.
SPECIAL RULES
DELAYED RESERVES (BOTH PLAYERS) Neither side may deploy more than 3
units on the table. The remainder must be held in Reserve. The entire Unit must
be In Command at the end of its Movement in the turn it arrives from Reserves.
Attachments and their core Unit must arrive from the same point, although
Passengers may be Mounted or Dismounted.
ROLL FOR RESERVES At the start of the player’s third turn, they roll a
die. On a roll of 5+ their first Unit arrives from the Reserve. It may be any
Unit of their choice, but must arrive now. The Reserves move on from the long
table edge adjacent to their table quarter at the start of their Movement Step.
At the start of their fourth turn, they roll two dice. Each roll of 5+ results
in another Unit arriving from their Reserves. They keep rolling at the start of
each of their following turns adding one more die than the previous turn, so at
the start of turn five they roll three dice, at the start of turn six they roll
four dice, and so on. Each roll of 5+ brings another Unit on from the player’s
Reserves. If a player rolled three or more dice to get Reserves in this turn,
but failed to score any rolls of 5+, they automatically receive one Unit from
Reserve anyway.
