Ah, BoboLo:

I thank you. And I know that making a game difficult draws you like a moth to a flame.

I can't believe how fast you do these. I made the game, and you blow my time out of the water after only a few plays.

Thanks for the comment, and for playing.

This is shocking difficult! Very good, though ...

Explanation/ instructions:

Most of this is self-explanatory. A clue followed by "(inset)" is in the inset map at the upper left. The other dots are on the main map.

For the arrows an ovals:

Dot at back of arrow / bottom of oval is the commander

Dot in the middle of arrow / oval is the name of the force

Dot at point of arrow / top of oval is the nationality of troops involved.

Note that Kodak is just the combined Alpha, Delta and Camel forces.
