The on-board Germans set up in the northwestern town. Both sides rolled well on their variable entry reinforcements, with the Germans and one U.S. group entering on turn one, and the remainder of the Americans entering on turn two.

To account for the German hidden units, I had the lead U.S. M5 platoon advance along the road until they were in spotting range of the 'hidden' Germans, essentially giving them a 'free shot.' They took full advantage, wiping out the scouting platoon with AT fire.

After that, it was downhill for the SS. The GI's used their off-board artillery and armor to wear down and assault the Germans in the northwest town before reinforcements could arrive. They easily held off the German counterattack and captured the entire town. They also used their armor's speed to pass through the northeastern town and occupy the southeastern town before the Germans could get there. Here, the Germans were more successful, taking half the town.

At the end, the Americans held two towns to the Germans' half of one town, and inflicted more casualties on the SS than they suffered. Major victory for the Americans.

Rated a 3. With the American advantages in armor and off-board artillery, the Germans will have a very tough time of it. In the scenario's favor, "It's fun to make Nazis cry."
