An interesting puzzle, but one better played solitaire than as a two player since one player had almost nothing to do. German movement was not allowed until an American unit was spotted, which took about 10 out of 18 turns. Then there weren’t many choices for the German to make. So, here’s my tongue in cheek description from Scenario 1: Battery Position at Holdy from PG: Airborne.

Hans: Hey, Fritz!

Fritz: Yeah, Hans?

Hans: What do you think all those booms that we keep hearing are?

Fritz: It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. Have another cigarette.

Hans: Hey, Fritz!

Fritz: Yeah, Hans?

Hans: What about all those airplanes overhead?

Fritz: Ya know, there sure are a lot of them. Probably nothing, though. Have some more Schnapps.

Hans: Hey, Fritz!

Fritz: Yeah, Hans?

Hans: What about all those things that look like parachutes?

Fritz: Probably practicing dropping an airborne company. No big deal. Have some more wurst.

Hans: Hey, Fritz!

Fritz: Yeah, Hans?

Hans: Don’t those guys coming over the hedgerow look like Americans?

Fritz: Now you mention it, yeah, they do. HEY, FIRE THE BIG GUNS!!!

[BOOM (outgoing)]

[RAT-A-TAT-TAT (incoming)]

Hans: Well, so much for the big guns.

Fritz: Yeah, maybe we should get into town.

Hans: Hey, Fritz!

Fritz: Yeah, Hans?

Hans: Don’t those look like American tanks?

Fritz: Yeah, good thing we’re in town.

[RUMBLE RUMBLE pause BOOM]

Hans: Hey, Fritz!

Fritz: Yeah, Hans?

Hans: Now that we’re completely surrounded, is this starting to look bad?

Fritz: Normally I’d say yes, but since we’ve still got the town after 18 turns I think we won.

Hans: So the war is over and we can go home?

Fritz: No, we’re pretty well doomed, but we’ve thrown their timetable into disarray. Maybe we’ll go to a prisoner of war camp.

Hans: Isn’t that bad?

Fritz: Not completely. We could have been captured by the Brits and been forced to eat their food…
