This scenario has each side placing wrecks then units alternating US then German. This adds to the overall time to play. We ended up setting up mostly in the town hexes. At most 25% of the units were outside the town hexes. All of the tanks are in clear terrain. I won the the initiative with two activation s. Read the game rules. All inf type units have the special anti-tank capability. The US army Hellcats setup hidden. Did not read that. Would it have helped? Who knows. I forgot about the German Army having only a 7/6 moral while the US Waffen is 8/7. Bruce kept the Germans separated into German and Waffen stacks. The first turn I had my tanks use AFV fire at 0 modifier. In return the Mk IV's and Panthers were +3 or more. The tanks were stacked w/inf so they could go into the assault and add a column shift. After the Germans destroyed my tanks assault was easier for them because of the column shifts. We slowly eliminated our infantry and one of the German tanks. It settles down into artillery duel. Bruce ended up +9 for a minor victory. Again remember the hidden M-18 and special anti-tank inf fire in assault. I think the US should use assault early in the game before his tanks are destroyed. Otherwise there are going to be stacks of 3 in the various town hexes. |
