Assault frustration

[plloyd1010]

Well, it is take both for the decisive win.   Who would try for less? 

I tend to play for the minor victory first, especially in this case. Trying for the major victory right off will usually dilute your force and could leave you over exposed. If the opportunity comes up, sure get'um both.

Generally your assessment of what I would do with the Americans is correct. Get as close as reasonable and blast way. The other thing I said was isolate the position as much as possible, I don't like Sevastopol sieges. What combination of isolation methods (block/fire/time) you use (if you can) is situational.

I would go for Les Fresnes. It is 5 turn (infantry only march) to isolate it. 2 big INF/HMG fire teams should reduce it pretty quickly. Fallschirmjagers look to be 7-8 turns away. Make them attack you. If you can beat them early, grab the other town.
