Assault frustration

[Blackcloud6]

Frankly in the situation you mentioned, I prefer to attack town or entrenched units with higher moral with nice multi stacks of adjacent units using direct fire before I ever use assault combat. Unless I have engineers mixed with infantry, APCs or tanks or I am desperate for time and just want to risk it on the last couple of turns.

Well, you can't use higher morale units when you don't have them.  In this scenario the German full units are 8 and the US one's 7.  And leaders won't even it out.

And yes, I 'softened them up for, for many turns,. it took turns because they simply recovered being in a town/entrenchment with leader upping their morale, they become tens.   Once they were disrupted and/or demoralized, the assault went in and still couldn't win.  The Germans simply recover each turn and then come back stronger sometimes the next turn than the attacking Americans due to US casualties.  The WN67 was even worse by being entrenched the Germans get first fire.  I had it surrounded and still couldn't break it.

Every game of PG that has 8 morale defenders in towns and entrenchment plays out this way no matter what I try.  And it ends up being turn after turn of nothing but dice rolling.  There is no skill in that, nor fun after a while.  So the dice win the game, not the player.  I've not liked this aspect of the game since the 1990s.   And its getting to be a killer for me.
