Overview:

The initial phase of the Commonwealth campaign against the Vichy forces in Syria was proving tougher than expected. These French, former allies of the Commonwealth, were resilient opponents. Merdjayoun was symbolic of this as a town, located only a few miles south of the Syrian border, had already been captured and lost by the Australians. Unwilling to again lose this vital position, the Vichy stationed Legionnaires and tanks to defend the assault against Medjayoun. Two companies of Australians from the 2/25th Battalion moved to attack from the west, while Australian pioneers demonstrated from the south to tie the Vichy garrison down.
Attacker: Australian (A and B Companies, 2/25th Battalion, 25th Australian Brigade)
Defender: Vichy French (9ème and 10ème Compagnies, 6ème Régiment de Légion Étrangère, and 6ème Régiment du Chasseurs d'Afrique, Armée du Levant)

2023-01-18(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wilson Vichy French win
2021-08-11(A) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler Vichy French winI think I lost the scenario on setup. I was heavy on the north side
of the board. I think a better play is to come right up the middle
and keep both options (the victory building or .ge. 9 multi-hex
buildings) viable.

I would happily try this again. It's yet another interesting design
by Andrew Rogers.

2021-07-27(D) Chuck Dye vs kevinkilleen Vichy French winAussie fell short of the nine building VC
2021-07-15(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso Vichy French winThe Aussie went after the multi-hex building first. But after some beating they switched to the single building VC. Since the multi hex condition was still attainable I had to disperse my forces, on top of that the 9-2 BH to 10-2 and got hero status. of 4th turn he went for the building but my R35 saved the day breaking 2 and 1/2 squads and surviving the melee, on my last turn there was a wall of bodies around the building preventing access to the second hex and an R35 and a concealed squad of mine in melee with 1 squad and the 10-2. he tried to take off the tank with the leader but didn't succeded and the game was over.
