A strange scenario this, US forces have to take a single point om the ridge line opposite before they can move forward a German spoiling attack hits the US flank. As the US player I tried to skip across and capture the furthest point from the German flank attack, this worked in one way has the German commander (the redoubtable Herr Hughes) moved to reinforce his line rather then continue his attack. I attempted to form a fire line but alas the middle platoon demoralised on me and never recovered, in such a short game I realised there was no way to force a victory and withdrew back to the woods. The Germans to win have to take two US steps and at one point in the game that was possible with a double one, there was a slight feeling of deja vu (See BoB report on Reuler)as Herr Hughes rolled the dice but this time I survived. This was a small entertaining scenario with lots of manoeuvre and some bluff and double bluff as Vince tried to tempt me into a premature attack and I feinted an attack on one point. However in such a small time frame scenario there are only limited options and this scenario has little replay value.
