Scenario BaBu002

This scenario sees a German infantry force assualting a town held by an equal sized American force. The time limit is generous for the Germans, and the VCs make the Americans play very cautiously to prevent step losses. The Germans' real advantage is artillery in this fight, which they get in varying strength depending on a die roll at the begining of the turn. The Americans receive artillery as well, but on a lower probability.

The Germans advanced through the woods and dug in 3 hexes away from the town, on what is elevated ground. This let them sit tight and trade ineffectual fire with the Americans while waiting for some results from their OBA. When they disrupted all the American HMGs and demorilized one INF unit on the frontline, they advanced. Americans recovered their moral, and were able to luck into a timely initiative win and poured point blank HMG fire into the exposed Germans. The attack broke off and the scenario was called.

I could see this one going either way, based on the limitations to American casualties. It seems quite unlikely however, that the Germans would be able to get a Major victory unless luck was on their side. Manuever doesnt play a huge role in this scenario despite the visibility restrictions, as the Americans have enough units to completely fortify the town.
