Language English
Scenario WeWa001

Played solo in one two-hour session.

The Americans approach the German's position supported by a precise barrage by the OBA. The Germans have already lost 1 leader, and have 2 GREN disrupted and 2 more demoralized after 1 hour. The Americans want to take advantage of the Germans shakiness and assault a dug-in position and an entrenchment. The Germans withstand both assaults without further damage and start on the road to recovery in their own activation.

The Americans continue their assaults for the next hour but the Germans first fire is very effective; the Americans make no progress.

After two hours, with a loss in sight, the Americans call the OBA in the dug-in assault hex. Good move, the Germans are demoralized and are eliminated when attempting to flee. The freed American units rush towards the second entrenchment position (the 1st is still in doubt but there is no time to reinforce it). The Americans assault it in the last 30 minutes but it was too little, too late.

German victory.

I rate this scenario a "4" if playing solo or if played as an introductory scenario (as the German position is mostly static, the less experienced player may find it easier to play the Germans), and maybe a strong "3" if played by two experienced players.

D,

Wayne and I had a lot of fun with this one as a 2 player effort. Went down to the last rolls of the game.

I played it solo and also had a last second finish with the Americans getting some great luck.
