The Americans are coming from the east. If the east end of the causeway is taken, the reinforcements will not “arrive”. There are strongpoints at both ends, but unbeknownst to the Americans, the east end strongpoint is unoccupied.

Consequently, the GREN decides to advance to the east end of the causeway and take up position in the houses nearby.

The GREN fires at the advancing Americans to no effect.

PARA (led by Captain) begin circling around to the north, while the HMG (led by Col) go south. The HMG passes a morale check and the Americans discover the east strongpoint is unoccupied.

PARA enters the marsh to the north of the east end, out of sight of the GREN.

HMG comes under fire again, but pass their morale check as they begin to head back around to the north to take the east end.

PARA advances through the wet ground onto the middle of the causeway.

HMG are disrupted by GREN fire.

PARA advances toward the objective (west end) and hit the ground when the occupied strongpoint opens fire.

HMG rallies.

PARA advances into close assault against the strongpoint (no effect)

HMG advances towards the causeway.

The assault continues to no effect (5 vs 3 strength)

HMG continues to advance towards the reinforcement point under fire.

PARA disrupts the defenders in the strongpoint, but the successfully rally.

HMG advances to the east end and comes under heavy close fire from the GREN. But they stay strong.

German reinforcements are denied by the presence of the HMG.

No change at the objective.

GREN assaults the HMG (to stop them aiding the PARA against the objective). The HMG is disrupted but rallies.

PARA is demoralized assaulting the strongpoint! (The troops in the strongpoint probably should have counter-attacked at this point, instead they kept their heads down)

At the east end, the assault in the open ground was brutal. The HMG was eliminated and the US Col fled into the marsh. Although being successful, substantial casualties to the GREN demoralized them.

It would be a race to see who rallies first! The PARA or the GREN?

The PARA fails to rally and flees into the marsh. The strongpoint defenders shoot ineffectively at their fleeing enemy.

The GREN rallies to a disrupted state.

Things are looking up for the Germans.

PARA rallies (to disrupted state). Strongpoint misses.

GREN fails to regroup.

The Tension begins to mound.

Strongpoint misses!

PARA rallies!

GREN rallies!

PARA re-assault the Strongpoint (no effect) as the GREN advances to aid in its defence.

GREN joins in the assault, but the GREN is demoralized and the Strongpoint is disrupted! The PARA tries to “finish” them off but can’t

The whistle blows and both sides shake hands. The skirmish is a draw.

Aftermath

Another bizarre scenario in the Panzer Grenadier: Airborne (Introductory Edition) pack. But, it was actually amusing nonetheless. As can be expected, the scenario played extremely quick.
