Scenario AirI015

The Germans set up first, in and around the victory hexes. The Americans enter and move slowly through the bocage. Not much action in the first few turns as the two sides remain hidden from each other among the hedgerows. The Germans do move their sergeant up to spot for artillery, but the Americans drive him away before taking any casualties.

The Americans set up two hexes from the northernmost objective hex and attempt to soften up the German position with their superior artillery and direct fire. Unfortunately for them, a combination of good German and poor American die rolling whittles down the attackers more than the defenders. The Americans do move up and capture one defended hex through assault, but lose nine steps in the process (the Germans lose seven), and the victory goes to the Wehrmacht.

One of the better scenarios from the original Airborne. I will have to play this again to see if the Americans can do better with better dice.
