Played in one session against Herr Hughes using Skype. US forces have to take tow of the three towns on the map without losing 9 steps, the Germans have to keep two of the towns or not lose 9 steps. Forces are evenly matched but the German has to defend a fairly wide front initially, and the US have excellent OBDA with the 1 in 6 chance of adding to the OBDA with a further 24 barrage. The Germans do get reinforcements on a roll of 10 or more for each unit from GT3. The US enters the board and after a feint to the south heads north to capture the first town. US artillery starts pounding the dug in German GREN just to the south of the town and after a couple of turns of prep fire they are steamrollered in an assault. The artillery next target the town and get a kill believing that the town would fall easily the para's charge into the town held by just 1 Gren platoon and a leader. That was on GT8, by GT18 the town was still being contested. Meanwhile German losses now meant that they had lost enough units for an American win, but if they could either inflict the same losses or hold on to the remaining town the result would be a draw. Slowly the momentum shifted, German reinforcements arrived and counter attacked tying up the US troops who where trying to deploy for the next town assault, the German artillery at last started to make a mark and the US troops were getting fatigued and seemed unable to shrug off DIS & DEM counters. Although the German counter attack was stalled with more losses, it had done its job and coupled with the stubborn defense of the northern town the American attack lost all momentum. The battle then settled down to long range shooting which caused minor casualties, and the game itself petered out to a draw. This was the best airborne scenario so far, very tough on the Germans initially but if they can hold out the reinforcements will help. Having said that if that bloody town had fallen on GT10 or 11 I am confident that I would have been celebrating a rare win over that wily German commander Herr Hughes.
