I dont want to be a stick-in-the-mud, but I wonder if you could reconsider this map. there are three issues:
1) I've played this scenario before. It is completely lopsided in favor of the axis. The axis have instant access to control of the flags, so it is basically an allied attack, and the axis has an extra 27% troop count. Not only does the "attacker" have less points, but they are attacking in the snow on an extremely thin map. Regular assault points on this map in these conditions would still favor the defender.
2) Since our match is a QB axis probe, the axis get an extra 40% troop bonus. Furthermore, the allies lose 500 points of reinforcements and the axis only lose about 300. So for this QB, the allies (who is basically the attacker) will get 2250 total points compared to the axis 3328 points (who is basically the defender).
3) The QB facing is wrong, so troops will break towards the enemy. Not to back of the map, and not even to the side. They will break/route & run into the guns of the enemy.
edit to add the real reason (I was hoping nobody else would realize this, but here it is):
4) as if the above three reasons aren't bad enough. I see that you have paired me up against the legendary Lord Bane. Obviously the chances of any level of victory for me are now so low that they are nearly incalculable. I feel that I am just a clump of Silly Putty in Bane's gifted hands. For the love of God man, change the scenario!
