As turn 6 began, the Germans were all broken and the single Panther had no chance to control the three locations. The German infantry were broken up and reduced to a single squad and wounded 9-1. The Panthers carried forward the attack, but bazookas took out two of them. The Americans took out all three MKI's by Turn 2.
My force was hammered hard and not able to open the road for the bridge trucks. my Americans ran straight into strong defenses and quickly lost all three Chaffees. It's not broken, but is tough to grok and there is a lot of pieces and a lot going on. Great opportunity to play this one and see whether it worked or is broken. Hot and cold dice streaks for both sides, but my hot streak came at the crucial last turn. Is there a better way for the Brits?įun game that came right down to the last CC. I'd be interested to see other AARs of this scenario. I conceded on turn 5 when there was clearly no way of stopping them. Meanwhile the two squads I had withdrawn to cover the victory hex LFT8S3 were both broken by the German sniper (why is the German SAN so high in this scenario?), which meant that the Germans could rush down the road through the gap between the hills, then circle round the back to capture the VC location from the south. My turn 4 reinforcements were too little too late, as the Germans had already reached the ridge by then. OBA was fickle for both sides, with the German's expiring early and mine consistently straying off target. Not helped by a German HS from the at-start group which resisted all shots against it, then spawned a hero that took out my 8-1 leader and a full squad with snakeyes in CC! Whilst this avoided early casualties, the downside was that the Germans reached the first ridge around turn 3, and then when my point-blank shots failed I had nowhere to run. I opted for what was essentially a reverse-slope defence, to keep out of the way of the German 88L gun, OBA and 81mm mortar. This seems tough for the British to defend - or at least if there's a good way to defend I haven't found it.
