Attempt # 2 for the Germans to take the town, this time they have more men... Same basic plan as last time, approach the town, sit on the hillside in cover, pound the Americans with their OBA and then rush in. The Americans set up a defensive line in the town, but kept their AT gun and supporting MG in their trucks so they could run away from the board 9 crossroads on turn 1 and rearguard the town.

The German OBA did its job and covered the German advance, who entered the town and had their MGs involved in the assualts for high table rolls. The Americans recovered their morale rather quickly though, but they were outnumbered. The end result was 3 hexes of town assault trading blows on the 18 column. Nasty stuff, but the Germans got the worst of it, and hit their casualty limit, while the Americans rolled fairly well.

I really felt this scenario was dinged on the score for the burdensome reinforcement rules. The Germans have 2 large groups of reinforcements. One they roll per unit for entry (this is fine, they come in on the east side of 9, and the time limit easily allows the Germans assault force to wait for them to link up), the other enters 3 units per turn... and derps along the southern edge of the board? Why are these included? They cannot move farther north than 4 hexes, meaning that not only do they not get to be involved in the fighting... they cant even SEE the fighting. They just walk through the woods and have to exist the west edge. The Americans get a tank unit, that they roll for... but it might be a German unit for the first few turns, and it must exit the southern board edge after 9 turns. It arrived, took out a German Gren straggler, and then left... Felt like at least the second German reinforcement group should have been cut.. unless im missing something.. .which i probably am.

Anyways, American victory.
