Scenario SiLi002

It would be nice but unfair to say that masterful German tactics and cunning won this game but that would be unfair. This scenario has a small German force defending a hilltop castle against a similar sized US force, both sides receive reinforcements on a roll of 5 or 6 during the game. These reinforcements are vital to the success of the mission for both sides. Tony, playing the assaulting American commander had to wait till game turn 15 of 16 before his reinforcements arrived, that meant he had no real chance of completing his mission. Shame because should both set of reinforcements arrive in reasonably time this promises to be a good little scenario. There is a good mix of units for a small scenario and its variable reinforcements make for lots of replay value. In our game US commander once he realised the reinforcements would arrive too late to swing the game used woods to outflank the excellent German defensive position however this move ran into the German paratrooper reinforcements and got bogged down some 40m from the objective. **And thats the issue with this scenario if the reinforcement rolls are unequal it will be a one sided contest however not a bad scenario for a quickie.*
