Bridgehead on the Rapido -- Good one to learn the game | ||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Played solitaire. Another tough one for the US. He initially deployed 3-4 hexes around the victory hex, 2728. The German came at the position from 3 directions, suffering a couple Disrupts and a step loss on the close. Flares exposed the apex of the US line to whithering direct and artillery fire. The US shifted units to the points of attack, returned fire, and caused 2 more steps of German losses. The German now could remain in place, trade fire and casualties, or assault with marginal advantage. This he did, locking the US units in hand-to-hand combat. The slim German advantage played out, and the US staggered back, demoralized and no longer able to plug the holes in his line. The Germans pressed on and with local, but decisive, numerical advantage, punctured the US line. By turn 6, the US conceded the bridgehead: another German victory. A very exciting scenario and worthy of a second try against a second player. |
