Scenario Airb014

The Americans start out with a big advantage in manpower and tank support, but have to bypass or eliminate some opposition to reach their objective.

The German reinforcements including a tank squadron arrived fairly early, and the German tank was able to take out two steps of American tanks while they were involved in assaults. The American paratroopers then tied up the German tank unit in an assault while the American tanks took shots at it until they eliminated it.

After that it was just a matter of time before the Americans surrounded, ground down and eliminated the Germans for a win.

The scenario would rate more highly if it were more balanced. The Americans had plenty of time and manpower to eliminate the Germans and take their objective, despite what seemed to me a lot of bad American die rolls (Lots and lots of "1's" when assaulting and 6-8's when shooting). I'd suggest playing this one solo, but limiting it to 40 turns to give the Germans a better chance of holding out.
