Very good scenario, at least for solo play. In face-to-face, the German player will probably not enjoy it as much, unless he likes a defense against heavy odds.

Americans start out with superior forces, but are somewhat handicapped by the Special Rules. In my play, the Americans rolled well in activating their forces and in Direct Fire, but less so in Bombardment and especially assault.

The Americans quickly wiped out the Germans' forward defense, but ran into trouble taking the main objective, a town on the river. I treated the river as major, and the Americans faced a tough approach to the town, a single road through the swamp.

The Americans got into an assault in the objective hex, but on the first try lost the assault die roll 1 to 6. It took some time to rebuild the forces to re-assault. As the Americans reinforced, so did the Germans. After several assault tries and some heavy losses, the Americans finally had a disrupted tank, a heavy machine gun and a reduced engineer facing one German reduced machine gun.

Before the Americans could assault and hopefully eject the Germans from the space for good, the Germans blew the bridge.

American losses were eight steps, the Germans losses over 15. With the bridge blown, both sides met their victory conditions. A draw.

Despite the draw, it was a very involving game.
