This was played against the redoubtable Mr Hughes, so of course I played the Americans. Do not be deceived by the title or preamble on the scenaro sheet this is an US attack against well entrenched, well motivated troops. I deployed my units into two groups with one half sweeping around the wetsern flank and the other pinning the frontal German units while waiting for reinforcements. We played this over three sessions. By the end of the first session everthing was going OK. I had destroyed his AFVs and located and destroyed a A/T battery,but I was running into tougher opposition on the flank as the German commander had deployed his best leader who with various stronpoint and HMG combinations was pushing out a lot of firepower. I knew it was going to get tougher. This proved to be the case and in our second session American casualties were heavy with little gain. In our last session I finally maanged to storm into the first German entrenchment behind an accurate artillery barrage. I had a glimmer of hope that I might be able to snatch a draw however Vince regrouped and managed to reinforce the threatened sector. The next turns were very bloody but the Yanks were not making any headway and when the dust had settled and we had counted our casualties it was obvious that the Germans had won a major victory. I enjoyed this scenario immensely even though I was on the wrong end of the result. To twice sense victory and still lose and still love the experiance means I can fully recommend this scenario just dont play Vince Hughes when he is on form!
