This is a short scenario, but this one needs some work, it is definite unbalanced in favor if the Germans. The Americans are restricted by weather conditions and time to make a frontal attack on a fortified position. The Germans have entrenchments, setup and the advantage of cover to stop the American attack. The Americans have a slight advantage in morale, but this is not enough to overcome the movement restrictions.

German setup is simple entrenchments in front of the town, strongpoints to back them up. German Stug in the town and the AT gun in the entrenchments with the HMG and 20mm AA gun. GRENs support the units in the entrenchments and leaders setup for best control. The Americans must enter the board under fire. The vehicles are restricted to the road into town so all the Stug and 75mm AT need to do is bore-sight on the road. The Germans also have OBA that will disrupt and demoralized the Americans even before they get to the towns edge.

In my play the American M4's were wipe out when they entered the board, some M3's made it in but were soon dispatched by HMG and AT fire. The infantry was cut up and demoralized, yet a couple made it to the first entrenchments in front of the town, but we locked in assaults that they could not finish. In the end the Germans had a Major victory without a problem.

This scenario needs some setup restrictions for the Germans as well as the American movement restrictions. It is too easy for the Germans to put up a wall of troops behind the entrenchments and town hexes and the Americans have little option to overcome them. Even the historical outcome is impossible to achieve with this scenario with the way that this is currently written.
