Scenario ElsR001

This scenario was played with my college freshman son, Jacob, to introduce him to the system and to gain more experience myself. Jacob took the defending Americans, while I played the attacking Germans. The Americans set up with a 9.1.0 Lieutenant and two INF platoons manning a forward post on the south edge of the hill. An HMG platoon set up on the road to the north of the hill covering the open ground on the American left flank. Most of the remaining force took positions dug-in or entrenched along the north/south road. The German OBA obliterated the HMG platoon on the American left and moved forward entering the light woods. Overconfident in the power of his supporting artillery, one zealous German Lieutenant led 2 GREN platoons on a charge uphill to assault the American forward post entrenched in the woods. The ensuing combat destroyed one GREN platoon and demoralized the other. The German reinforcements entered with Prussian punctuality and rapidly advanced across the open ground north of the hill. The Amis took heavy casualties and almost lost control of the east/west thoroughfare. The German reinforcements had advanced quickly to control the road to the rear of the American forces and prevented the American reinforcements from relieving the besieged defenders. However, the Americans were able to advance two platoons at the last moment to prevent the Germans from completely clearing the road for the Panzers that were meant to follow soon after. Result: German minor victory. Excellent play by Jacob considering that we both completely overlooked the American OBA severely handicapping their defense. Very exciting scenario.
