I know US playes have won this, but I wonder if these were solitare games. The Ger start 2 and a half inft platoons, a half MG platoon and a 81 mtr platton all hidden and with good morale. The US starts with almost equal forces and has to capture a town and a road hex. These forces are not enough IMO and I never at any stage thought I could win this one and I even thought a draw unlikely. So it proved and although the US forces tired to manouvere around the German lines, there is not much room and you can move your troops fast enough because the bocage slow you down. To balance the scenario I would lower the German morale to 7/6 and and a half platoon to the inital US troops. I dont mind playing scenarios which are unbalanced but they have to be intesting situations.
