…and overwhelmed. (4-0)

GERMAN VICTORY!!!

Aftermath

This is a very quick battle and a good introduction for teaching the armour rules. As there are hidden forces, I played this with my daughter Wren (who I let play the Germans).

Although I tried to goad her into attacking me with her Pz IVDs, she opted just to run, which appears to be the regular strategy that favours German victory in this one. I would’ve been tempted to shoot with armour efficiency.

Is worth a replaying? Um, no. Too simple and unbalanced.

Scenario Rating: 2/5. But, 3/5 for teaching purposes.
