Please pay attention ! The thick Normandy hedgerows rules require full inspection... These rules are quite different than the normal hedgerows rules. So we have spent some time before the game to agree on the interpretation of LOS rules. Basically, when a unit is behind a hedgerow hexside, you have to be adjacent to be allowed to fire on it. From farther away, you may still spot the unit and use indirect fire. Major Bingham is directing 2 US infantry companies to attack the town of St Laurent (2 hexes) and a German strongpoint (entrenchment) where one reduced HMG is the sole occupant. The US force thus concentrates on the strongpoint, reaches the adjacent hexes and then goes into assault while two platoons run towards St Laurent. But... the German HMG is commanded by a 10/1/2 leader ; they get first fire from the entrenchment and the assaulters - if they survive - are two columns down because of the entrench and two downs again for the hedgerow they just crossed. It took me something like 8 turns to eliminate that &:^@à HMG ! Meanwhile the other US platoons did eliminate the Grenadier guard of St Laurent and the remaining 50mm AT gun was broken. But... the AT gun rallied with a dice roll = 2 and succeeded in driving the US infantry away. Despite more desperate assaults on St Laurent, the 50mm AT gun resisted until the end. The result of the scenario is a draw (only 1 objective reached by the US and too many step losses for the US) although the Battle Game does begin well for the US. Indeed, to win the Battle Game, the German player MUST keep control of the same strongpoint at the end of the second scenario. This won't be easy for him.
