Right on...SOL suits this Scenario better as it goes right along with the:
"1.0 INTRODUCTION
Unit SOL had never attached any significance to his designation; he had a war to fight. But as he headed back toward the ocean, unscratched, at the end of what should have been a routine raid, he considered what SOL could stand for.
Sold Out of Luck."
..."Sold Out Of Luck"???...lol...this is genius...haha.
You avoid writing the profanity of what it really means, by having the OGRE in the process of considering what it may mean, while simultaneously making it humorous. Well done sir, well done indeed. :)
All the more reason to have SOL the Scenario name and like dwalwend suggests, use GAUNTLET for another one.

Also, I can't help but think there should be some water hexes at the southern end of the map to represent the ocean, I mean I understand the Scenario has the shoreline further south and off board, and sometimes it's best to leave things to the imagination for better effect, but how would it be if some of the shoreline was at the end of the southern map?
How about having all of these ocean shoreline hexes be "Shallow Ocean" hexes...meaning they count as water hexes but when OGREs are in them, they are like revetments in the sense the OGRE is mostly underwater up to it's tread unit housings, and thus, gets a town bonus...no shots can be fired at it's treads.
This is helping the OGRE and disadvantaging the attacker, true, but it would have some actual ocean hexes on the map as a nice visual, with a fun little twist on a water hex.

I noticed the OGRE DE Pdf needs updated to correspond correctly to the published OGRE DE rules that came with the game. The pdf is not the same and appears to be an early draft before it was finalized for print.
