Scenario WeWa008

It came down to the wire. The US was making some good assaults and M4 flanking runs late in the game; the Germans were on the verge of losing when I repositioned the Tiger. After some complicated back and forth, which included some desperate US infantry assaults on the Tiger's town hex (give those guys a medal, they were all lost) to keep it from firing on the exposed M4s, the Tiger eventually got off some shots before the M4s could dash...it eliminated 3 steps (which translates to 6VPs) and that was enough to maintain the German draw and avoid a loss.

The final VP tally was US 38 and Germany 34.5. Very close but a draw all the same.

I really enjoyed this scenario. The early turns might feel a bit waste-ey, especially if the Germans play timidly early. It might be worth fighting forward though.
