Wavell’s War – East African Campaign – Final Comments

Had a nice talk with Tim last night about our recent Wavell’s War game and, especially, his posted comments.

I had some real second thoughts about the validity of using scrapped unit replacement points to build new headquarters.  Big sigh of relief when I checked the rules this morning and confirmed it is OK.

We also talked about the low level of victory point (VIP) totals in the game, especially since they are calculated, for the most part, in January and July, only.  This makes the status of Massua absolutely critical.  This city is worth three VIPs per initial phase on or after April I/II ’41 for the side that controls the city.

With this in mind,  Tim’s analyses of his attack supply and railroad construction challenges are very pertinent to successful Allied play.

I think we agreed to try it again.  The when is TBD.
