Many of these very small scenarios come down to an extended assault on a particular location. This one featured an assault which began on turn 4 and lasted through turn 18. Both sides had turns where no combat occurred as morale recoveries needed to be achieved, but slowly the Germans began to gain the upper hand. Unbelievably the Americans managed to cause several casualties on the Germans early on, only beginning to take losses themselves in the last five turns.

On turn 18 the last step of Americans were finally driven from the town. The late arriving reinforcements were able to counter attack to get back into the town but the Germans, having spent over 3 hours gaining control of the town, were in no mood to fight for it all over again. The entire platoon of Americans was chased away and the Germans, having previously sent 50 men off the board took a well earned victory.

Not a lot happening but a great training scenario for learning assault combat with reserves. The German needs to carefully reinforce the assault hex and consider closely the time to run troops off the board. I give it a "4" for the tension and decisions required on the German side.
