The German victory conditions in this scenario are to either completely control the town of Hosingen, or exit 8 units off the west edge of the board; the Americans can achieve victory if they can deny the Germans these conditions. The German strategy was to quickly move units around Hosingen to the north and south, and get the required units off the board. The Americans can’t move until they spot a German, so the Germans cautiously use terrain and woods for concealment. In addition, poor visibility during the early morning hours were a great help. The Germans also get a lot of their units to enter the board from the east during the early morning. When visibility improved, the Americans spotted German units trying to bypass the town, maneuvered in an attempt to intercept, and attacked. These attacks were not effective, and the Germans were successful in getting units around the town and off the board. The keys to victory included low visibility ranges in the early turns, and great die rolls that allowed most Germans to enter the board from the east. Also, with this many units moving through the area, the few American units have a real challenge in stopping the advance.
