Scenario AAAD004

I set the Americans up in a line six hexes from the north edge with the intent to swing to the area where the Germans attempt to penetrate. The Germans attacked along the east edge of the map with the Pz IVs out front supported by a Pz IIIs and the other Pz IIIs protecting the flank and the trucks.

the Stuarts reacted and tried to swarm the German tanks to get the +2 modifier which is what they need to kill. But even when doing so it was hard to get a kill. The German infantry even got into the act and assault some Stuart platoons. After about two hours, it was apparent the Americans were going to be defeated in detail so the Americans conceded.

This scenario needed a special rule to allow for some sort of surprise effect on the Germans. In the real action, the one US tank company swarmed the flank of the Germans and this surprised them. The German commander pulled back as a result thinking he was outnumbered. In the game, the US have to surround the panzers and then roll well to get kills. I had many such shots but didn't get the rolls.

The thing is even if you surround the Germans, you can't really kill them without some really good luck with the dice before the Germans can kill you first. Hard scenario for the Americans
