This scenario gives the SS 10 grenadier platoons, 2 HMGs, an Engineer, 2 Mk IVs ande 3 mortars in town in the middle of board 24 (inverted) to attack and try to take as many hill hexes as possible in the northwestern hill. The US has 6 Infantry, 2 HMGs, a 57mm gun with halftrack and a 3in AT gun with a truck, supported by a single mortar. Both sides get a 30 column of OBA. The game starts with a visibility of 2 gradually going to 6 due to fog. The US troops not in the woods may start dug in. The US set up with the advantage of placing the major in the center, a captain to either side, with an LT on the outer flank, and on the eastern side, one stack with no leader, so basically the whole force can activate as one group. I placed the Major in the middle with an HMG and Infantry, a captain to the west with 2 Infantry, an LT on the eastern flank with 2 more infantry. To the major's left, the 3in AT gun with a captain, then to their left, the 57mm with the halftrack and an LT, and north of that, the last Infantry and HMG, with the US Mortar in the woods north of the 3incher. Germans were also able to activate the majority of their force for that first turn on one activation, but immediately split into two forces trying to flank the hill, with a panzer on each flank. The US were able to inflict quite a bit of damage early on as the SS stopped adjacent. Both sides were forced to risk friendly fire with their mortars and artillery as nearly everything was adjacent to an enemy stack. As the western side was flanked, it moved from dug-in to woods, refusing the flank effectively and forcing the Germans to risk an assault into woods. On the eastern flank, the same thing was happening. US fire on the west was having a tough time but the fire of the AT guns at adjacent hexes along with the fire from the halftrack and the infantry to their north stopped the German assault there cold. The SS took tremendous casualties and begin to flee, leaving panzers fighting in assault on their own on the western flank. At the end of turn 8, with only the single step of panzers engaged in assault and trading morale casualties to artillery fire, but with no chance for the Germans to gain any ground on the hill, I called the game. 22 steps lost to the SS with only 7 hill hexes taken and no way to hold them, to the US having lost only 3 steps and still holding the central 10 hexes. Major US victory. Great game.
