This was a hard fought, face-to-face, play-through of an older game in the PG series. As a rookie, I was only just becoming familiar with the rudiments of this fiddly game system. My opponent had not played the game in several years.

The newer rule set was probably not the one to use in this encounter. The German offensive was hurt by the premature ending of several turns thanks to our using the optional Fog of War rule. It certainly helped the US side. This scenario was a close assault festival in bad weather. Neither side was able to achieve their required victory conditions. We both drew dueling sets of poor combat leaders and had miserable luck throwing combat and morale recovery dice.

By the end, the US occupied 3 town hexes, and the Germans had just one. There were still some costly assaults going on in 3 towns.
