This 4 mapper has the 183rd VG Division facing parts of three American divisions. The US forces start on the board and have two waves of mostly armour reinforcements, the US have to push across the board taking towns and entrenchments they are both helped and hindered by the fog as it rolls in and out throughout the game, the fog gives cover but naturally there is no air support. The German units are dug in, have both strong-points and 4 STUGS platoons to assist in their defense. The US attack starts well and quickly takes the first few entrenchments but begins to bog down around the town on board 24, where accurate opportunity fire and OBDA begins to cause heavy casualties. The holding attack to the north also gets pushed rather rudely back and the German commander begins to switch units to reinforce the defense against the main US attack. The STUGS engage the numerous US M4's and although honours are fairly even in the tank battle for some reason the German rally quicker than their US counterparts this slows the US attack even more. After 4 hours of hard battle the Americans are still unable to break the German lines which have now contracted around the fields surrounding the town on board 10 (Beggendorf?). Although ground has been gained US losses are running at about double German losses and the final reinforcements are still no where to be seen. Sensing that the non arrival of the 3rd wave could be his "get out of jail card" as an excuse for the failure of his attack the US commander calls of the attack and order his tired units to dig in on the blood soaked ground. This is good solid PG fare. Looks tough at first play for the US but I'm sure a better led assult would do better.
