If This Was a Western The Cavalry Would Have Shown Up |

US set up troops in town at 0604 and the 57mm AT gun north of the town with a LOS to 0509. The Germans set up with a leader and HMG in 0509. Early on the Germans used the hedgerows as cover to advance the HMG and other units toward 0604 while the German 81mm mortar bombarded the US AT position. Eventually the German mortars eliminated the US guns and all German units moved toward 0604. While one German platoon moved toward the southern edge in an attempt to exit the map, the remaining German units advanced to just outside the GI held town. The Germans exited the required two steps from hex 0501, but when the game ended hex 0604 was occupied by both sides, meaning the game was a draw. The US reinforcements never arrived as the Americans never rolled the required 10+. This was a fun little scenario that could easily swing either way depending on when/if the US troops arrive. |
