Scenario PaLe003

The Axis set upin town with and advance position in 9409 on bd. 27 containing 1 gren 1 Lt. & the JagPz IV and a halftrack in 0511. They also set up another position behind the hedgerow in 1116 containing the ATG platoon a gren and the prime mover. Also present were a HMG and another halftrack. The allies entered almost across the whole width of the North edge. Accurate JagPz fire knocked out 1 step of Cromwells and axis artillery got another step. Included were several disruptions and demorializations. But the Axis took their lumps too from some very accurate Allied OBA. By the time the Allies had finished their approach to the village the Allies lost another two steps to the "Ducks". This foul was indeed turning into a wise quack. Once the Allies had closed with the village it became a vicious slugging match as close quarters with both sides losing steps. After grabbing the northern most town hex cheaply a Axis gren platoon held out there in for almost the whole scenario. It suffered a number of demoralizations and disruptions but always recovered just enough to stay in play. Thus tying up 3 allied platoons and a Lt. for the whole time. Eventually the Allies were able to get a crossfire shot on the PzJag and knock out a step forcing it to retreat out of the Allied LOS. Then the deadly Allied OBA took care of the Axis ATG platoon. In the end the Axis only controled two town hexes and had take 14 step losses. Allied victory. Had the 3 platoons locked in melee won through this could have turned out very different, making the Allied victory much easier. This was a well balanced scenario that went down to the last turn. I give it a solid 4. I would like to play this again. I feel a different outcome is very probable.
