Germans set up with a Gren and HMG in the castle, three Grens in a semi-circle to the west, and their mortar platoon in the woods to the northeast. The GI's entered from the northwest using the light woods to cover their approach. They engaged the German perimeter defense units and were able to eventually eliminate them, but it took seven turns. As the GI's approached Merlin's Castle there were only five turns remaining. The Germans in the entrenchment held off the GI's for three turns (with some help from some misdirected US artillery), but with two turns to go the Americans assaulted the castle. In spite of brave attempts to evict the tenants, the attack fell short and the Germans held on for a narrow victory. Great little scenario. Well worth replaying a number of times.
