Scenario LCDT001

This is a night scenario with one Turn having visibility 2 and the rest 1.

The French are defending a town with only tanks (D1) and are awaiting some Foreign Legion reinforcements, and more tanks. The Americans are poised to jump on the town at start, with a ton of Stuarts and other oddball armor, unfortunately they only have three infantry units.

In my game I had the French play turtle a bit on turn 1 and await the inevitable American assault on the town. The Americans withstood the opporutnity fire (3 consecutive AT misses) and then the French won the initiative and missed 3 more times in a row. At that point the American assault stack (24 with leader) started clearing the town with ease and the Stuarts were dispatched forward to block potential reinforcements from the far board edge.

Easy US win after some back and forth cat-like moves at night...however with US losses so miniscule the French had no chance. Those 6 straight misses really hurt them. With average dice the US would take serious step losses and the resulting battle would be much closer.

Excellent small scenario...very tactical, very thinky. Both sides can take risks with their armor, and live with the results.
