| Introduction |
|---|
|
The Germans had constructed multiple belts of fortifications, but even so were loath to give up any of their positions without a fight. With the Scharnhorst Line compromised by the 60h Infantry's advance, Gen. Erich Bandenberger of Seventh Army fired Col. Eberhard Roseler of 89th Infantry Division and ordered his successor, Maj. Gen. Walter Bruns, to mount an immediate counterattack to restore the positions using some dubious reinforcements. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
"Strengthened" by a battalion of Luftwaffe fortress troops, the German attack went forward with surprising enthusiasm and soon drove into the town of Hoefen. Confused by the strong reaction by the "beaten" Germans, the American regiment milled about for several hours before mounting a counterattack that drove the Germans back out. Signs like this should have warned the American command that the German Army sill retained a significant combat capability. |

Strongpoints are single step units and can be eliminated with X results like any other single step unit. (Shad

The standard mix of strongpoints may be downloaded from Avalanche Press: http://www.avalanchepress.com/German_Strongpoints.php This is the standard mix found in Airborne, Airborne-IE, and Edelweiss Expanded. The strongpoint mix in Cassino '44 is different from that of other PG games. (plloyd1010

Strongpoints are affected by the terrain in their hex just like any other unit.
Even though they can't move, they can attack using Assault Combat if an enemy unit moves into their hex.
They may not dig in or benefit from entrenchments.
