For my third attempt at this scenario I decided to play it solo. I set up Germans in two towns with mortar unit supporting from the west. Early US artillery shot eliminated the AT gun but thereafter American luck waned. It looked like a possible German victory until with three turns to go a snakeyes roll on an American artillery shot eliminated the last of the German opposition, allowing the Americans to garner the victory. The GI's still won, but it took longer than my last two playings.
