Round 1 - The First Battle of El Alamein

Scenario: https://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir-44/archives/10431
Game options: Game Speed = No time limit, Duration = 2 ways, Mode = Standard, Scenario type = From the front, Scenario source = Days of Wonders database, then when the game starts Scenario ID = 10431
Important - I tested the scenario and there is one minor bug to be aware of - the unit with the anti tank gun badge behaves like a special forces unit, it can move 2 and battle, stars do not hit armor, etc.

These initial matchups were randomly determined using a random number generator. Future matchups are based on standings.
