Scenario WiSo025

This small scenario pits two reasonably equal forces, but the SS are on the attack and have to take Arloncourt (the town on board 11 to win). There is also snow and ice which force the Germans into a frontal slog as there is simply not enough time before night falls for any fancy moves. The German armour outclasses the US armour but a canny US commander will hide his tanks and half tracks in the centre of the town, thus forcing the German commander into a catch 22 postion, does he bludgeon his way into the town using just armour or wait for his GREN's to catch up for a more measured assault. The former is to risky and the latter to time consuming. As the German attack slowly moves towards its jump off point accurate US INF/MG and OBDA cause losses and the attack never really gets going. I am loathe to say any scenario can not be won by a particular side but suffice to say if I was the US commander in a FtF game I would be surprised to lose this one. Not recommended.
