TOGOLAND Q's

1) what happens when a British / French reinforcement hex is occpied by
a German unit playing variant No.2 ? 

2) when entering a village across a river it s 1 MP only (man made
terrain supercedes natural) ? 

3) I found it very hard for the Allied player to attack AGBERHOE in the
historical game, as the Germans can create a big stack there and with
the bridge down and entrenched defender it is a tough nut to crack. 2
German PK units along with a leader entrenched behind a blown bridge
brings down a 4:1 score to 1:1. Any proposuals ? 

4) Which Allied units must be separated from the game when Germans exit
the map (variant No.2)

TOGOLAND Q's

1) what happens when a British / French reinforcement hex is occpied by
a German unit playing variant No.2 ? 

The Allied units can be entered in any adjacent hex, but must attack to
become in supply. Rule 6.1 alludes to this situation. I suppose that it
might have been specifically designated. 

2) when entering a village across a river it s 1 MP only (man made
terrain supercedes natural) ? 

When entering a village across a river it requires the Allies 4 MPs and
the Germans 3 MPs. Only a bridge supercedes the natural cost of the
river, not a village on either side. 

3) I found it very hard for the Allied player to attack AGBERHOE in the
historical game, as the Germans can create a big stack there and with
the bridge down and entrenched defender it is a tough nut to crack. 2
German PK units along with a leader entrenched behind a blown bridge
brings down a 4:1 score to 1:1. Any proposuals ? 

It sounds like you are fighting the Battle of the Khra River at
Agbehrvoe. It is a good place to fight for the Germans. Half of the
initial German PZs are required for this defense, and I am wondering, if
it is GT 3, what the other Allied units are doing against the other PZs.
If it is GT 3, the British have two leaders and St. Clair artillery. You
did not list the Rule 11.1 Allied Artillery shift. This changes your
equation to 2:1. You might be better off with the 1:1 odds. The Germans
can only do this three times, and playing this way leaves most of the
colony open to flanking move by the Allies. 

4) Which Allied units must be separated from the game when Germans exit
the map (variant No.2) 

This is up to the discretion of the Allied commander. Rule 14.2: "The
Allied Player must remove two units for each German unit exited from the
map through an eligible map hex." 

One last note, if you are playing the game solitaire, it is a very
different game from a ftf game where each side can fake out the other.
