In this scenario the Libyians attempt to move south to take Bardai, however, they are beaten back by the Chad army which then counter attacks north to take Aozou. The Libyians then regroup and send a much larger force south to attack and retake aozou. However, their first two assaults are repulsed, but on the third attempt they win.
