Scenario FaoF014

Here is another scenario where the German player has to come across open ground to get to the objective. Besides that, the objective village has a band of woods that must be fought through before a attacker can even get to the village. As the axis armor started across the open ground it got shot to pieces. Step losses and Demorilazations. By the end of turn one Axis iniative had been reduced by two. To make matters worse on the next turn the Axis best armored units the PzIII and the PzIV could not enter do to failing their activation roll. In the mean time the Axis infantry were making some progress in the woods knocking out one of the Allies best ATG batterys. Over the next few turns the Axis finally got their two best armored platoons on the board and advancing when the Pz IV platoon was knocked out completly loosing both steps. The fight in the woods had bogged down also. Several more turns passed with the same situation except that the Axis had taken two more armored step losses and a infantry step. With only one hour left and the Axis having lost 14 steps to ONE the Axis retreated. This was not a very good scenario. Half the Axis armor are armed with MGs only and cannot engage the Allied armor. Crossing open ground under fire and then having to fight their way through a band of woods just to GET to the main objective is a very tall order. Even with good die rolls the Axis would be hard pressed to win this one.
