Played this once before (the Airborne - IE version). In that one, the Germans badly outrolled the Americans on the dice and came away with the victory.

In this one the Americans rolled far better and were able to disrupt and demoralize the Germans in the first town objective. The Germans recovered and got some reinforcements in, forcing a stalemate. The Americans then concentrated on the second town, almost destroying the German defenders with massive and well-aimed artillery. The Paratroopers moved in and mopped up, leaving the Germans with nine step losses.

With some time left, the Americans pulled most of their troops out of the first town, told the remainder to take cover, and pounded it with artillery. When the Germans were depleted and demoralized, they moved in with fresh troops and took the town. (The Americans left inside took a step loss but survived to pull out when relieved).

Solid American win. Good fun for the Americans, but it might be frustrating for the Germans in a two-player game.
