This 24-turn scenario has the East German polizei attacking after the US troops took the hill earlier on board 25, and this time the attacker came in from the correct edge. :) East Germans trade their OBA and AT guns for armor in the form of 3 T-34/76s, a Ba-64 and an Su-76. Leader generation was better but still had that 6 Kommissar, more a danger to himself than a help to his komrades. US start with the same OB as scenario 1, including 2 turns of air support attempts, and pretty much like the first one, the planes came, saw and missed. Then things changed. Yesterday, the US lost 1 step. Today, for most of the 14 turns the game lasted, the losses were even. The stack of T-34s eliminated outright (modified roll of 13) one of the US M-24s early on, then the large Police force entering towards the north end of the east edge moved forward with 4 stacks of a total of 6 Pol and 2 HMGs lead by the Cpt and LT surrounded the US Major and his troops on the high ground while the southern element moved to whittle away at US troops in 0910 and 1010. As the first East German stack, the Ba-64 and Su-76, moved up, the LT and his force in 1010 got carried away and assaulted, losing 2 steps before the CPT in the adjacent hex arrived and turned the tables on the assaulting Police units. The Su-76 died quickly while the armored car lost a step, demoralized and then fled as East Germans moved up and into the assault. Things went back and forth in the assault but finally the US prevailed there, the only East German force left on the south half of the hill being the 2 mortars on the 40m hill and some surviving Police troops with no leaders. Over the course of the game, every one of the East German leaders, including the Kommissar. To win, the East Germans had to control the crossroads hex, and the last T-34, the one with the tank leader, was engaged in assault and destroyed in turn 14. The mortars could make things uncomfortable for the US but only as long as it would take for a couple of stacks to move up and assault them, and there was nothing they could do to control the crossroads after the suriving M-24 moved onto it, so game called, US win.
