This is a remarkably straightforward scenario. The Germans hold an entrenchment and the Nisei need to take it to win. There isn't a lot of time; only 3 hours (12 turns) and at least three of those turns will be required for the Nisei to get close enough to the entrenchment to do anything. In addition, neither side has much in the way of artillery so this fight will be with infantry weapons (well at least I thought it would...)

The Germans throw a company of infantry into the woods to see if they can delay the Americans. They keep this line close enought to permit some of the troops to run into the entrenchment when things look especially dim. It was a great plan and seemed to be working well through the second turn as the advancing Nisei took withering opportunity fire, losing two steps (this is a common occurence in Go For Broke as the Nisei are almost always attacking and need to advance quickly).

Then things turned, a quick assault on the outlying company resulted in 2 steps lost for the Germans, despite a strong showing themselves (killing a step of Nisei). The remainder of the line stayed in place to fire again at the advancing Nisei. The next turn the Americans moved adjacent to Merlin Castle and assaulted the next unit in the outlying company, which was led by the major. Both German steps were summarily dispatched and the major took what appeared to be a head shot (casualty roll snake eyes), decapitating the remainder of the German force. This froze the one remaining INF platoon which was to hightail it back to the Castle to defend against the onrushing Nisei.

While that was bad enough, the Germans then launched their OBA at the Nisei adjacent to the Castle and rolled for friendly fire which proceeded to, against any expectation, demoralize the troops in the Castle. By turn 7 it was all over. The Castle was taken and all German troops had been eliminated.

This is a simple small action and playable in a very short time. There is no subtlety in it. With reasonable luck the Germans can make a very strong defense of the Castle and an American victory is certainly not guaranteed. It is probably quite likely to have a German win but that certainly wasn't what happened here.

I give it a "2".
