Atlantic Marines: scenario Ten: Marine Armor

Kind of a unique scenario with the U.S. Marines fighting in pretty much open terrain, as I am use to the mountains of Korea or the jungles of the Pacific. The Americans have three victory objectives and levels to try to achieve. Both sides have elite Infantry and high morales but Americans have better HMG units, a little more Infantry and the M5 tanks compared to the Germans weak Pz IIs tanks.

The Germans kind of setup a bit too spread-out, as they were defending and they don’t start dug-in. The Americans blasted the Germans armor apart at some-point and exited over ten units off of the west edge of the map but did not clear all the east-west road hexes, as one hex held out, the American achieve a Minor Victory but with one to two more turns would have achieved a major victory. The Americans dominated this play, eliminating 22 German steps and 5 German leaders, compare to the Marine loses of 5 steps and 1 leader.
