I thought this small (12 turn scenario) with low counter density would be a very average game, well I was wrong. A small US INF force with good MTR support have to take Point 771 from an even small German force but who have all the advantages of the terrain. However there is a swirling mist around the summit which should aid the attackers in getting to grips with the stubborn defenders. The advance starts at 0700 and the mist disperses to give the defenders the chance to spot the advancing US forces, the alerted German units fries but cause no damage. Over the next 30 mins the fog swirls back and the American advance unhindered over the rocky and steep mountainside. As they near their objective German small arms fire does start to pin the odd unit back. The US commander orders two platoons to flank the Germans on their right while then rest of his force will attack the German left flank. The German commander leaves his dug out on the summit and reinforces the right flank, leaving just a section manning the MG on the mountain top. His presence encourages the German riflemen who score the first kill on the US flanking units, however the attack on the German left flank does manage to close within 300m of the objective. Leaving his left flank secure the harassed German LT runs across to shore up his other flank, but not before the US launch their assault supported by accurate 81mm MTR fire they smash into the two platoons guarding the approach to the summit and they are wiped out along with the German commander. This effects whats left of the German INF units who seem unable to react as the US now assault the summit, although the SGT and his small unit hold out for 30 mins by 0900 Point 771 has been taken and the now leaderless German units can only slink off the mountain to regroup and prepare for the next chapter in the Allied bid to take Cassino. Well this was a little cracker for a solo game played in under two hours however it like most small scenarios is very dicey, the loss of the German leader which was a combination of poor play and bad luck was the turning point but the real killer blow was the Ger SGT 921 demoralizing on a 12 and unable to recover to lead a counterattack on the last turn which may well have changed the final result. That's why I have marked this scenario as a 3 and not the 4. I also think that as a FtF game there's not a lot for the German player to do other than NOT lose your commanding officer, still I enjoyed this one.
