The Germans, thinking that the Americans would defend the Northern Hills first and foremost, decided to make a swing through the South and pick up a couple of victory conditions by so doing. Unfortunately, two things stood in the way: 1) The American Commander guessed that the Germans would come in from the South and placed both his minefields and his anti-tank guns in a position to wreak havoc on the Germans approaching from that direction. 2) I kept misreading the Wadi, thinking it was Hills instead. It wasn't just once, it was three or four times. (I have GOT to pay attention!) Needless to say, I got my butt shot off in the "Wadi of Death"! Between those two happenstances, it wasn't long before the German Graveyard was overly crowded. There was absolutely NO chance that the Germans could catch up and no way that they could take the high ground. This was a pretty tough one for the Germans but still playable.....
