best 1st scenario for newbie

I kinda liked Escape from Kalisz myself. it set the tone for the game.

Check out this variant of Escape from Kalisz that I posted a while back.

You might also want to consider Kings Ransom which is set in Iran. I liked it because it wasn't as open as the other modules, the players had a mission which could lead to bigger and better things. Plus gas and air support is available in Iran...

Thanks

Thanks for that variation. It's perfect! That will be very helpful. I liked the idea of escaping but when I read the module it was very confusing. This division went here and that division went there and was pushed back to here and these tanks are here and are going there to push back that division who was here but is now there. Now what do you do The only thing I got from that is that the Americans were kinda surrounded. I don't even know if that's right.

Does the map of Poland in the V.2.2 book show where the bad guys are I'm assuming that's what all the blue ink is.

Sort of.
Although the units in and around Kalisz are basically correct, take the rest with a grain of salt. Some of the positions are shown as of before the Summer campaigns, some after, well after (like nearly December 2000!)

well, I think confusion is part of the scenario. Your unit is getting clobbered from all sides and you don't know much besides "Good luck, you're on your own!".

I seem to recall a mention in the Escape from Kalisz booklet that the pc's start in a forest between two towns. Don't remember the names of the two towns at the moment...
