Cross that road Lieutenant! |
---|
Played solo. German tactics: Dig in as soon as you can; Reinforcements were entering long the road to provide flanking fire, knowing the Ami's would have to move quick to reach the hill across the road American tactics: run as hell across the road and assault the closest strongpoint: hex 0903. In this way 1006 would be out of the 2 hex range and even out of firing range. The Americans almost succeeded.. almost.. Reluctant to cross the road on turn two because of the German reinforcements to their left, they tried to neutralise them before crossing, but the Germans held their ground.. and fire power. On turn 3 there was no lagging time left and the Americans went for it, harassed by flanking fire and fire from 0903. One step was lost, but they were at last in a position to make the final assault, covering their left flank by one Inf unit plus a Lt, to keep the German flanking units from interfering. Turn 4 saw the first assault turn against one unit of dug in Grenadiere, they lost a step but kept up their integrity. The unit and Lt from 1004 were now triggered and went in to support. Gainig the initiative in turn 5 saw the Germans going in 0903 for support. The ensuing cost them their 2 officers and another German step. But also the Americans suffered. Loosing the second step made them aware that only the sole occupation of hex 0903 would get them a draw at most. It was not to be so, on turn 6 a 6 was rolled, end of scenario and a German victory. |
