| The 3rd Armored Division hits the Siegfried Line | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Shermans and loaded M3’s hit a strongly fortified position. The German’s layered defense included mines, wire, anti-tank ditches, entrenchments, AT guns, and strongpoints. It was initially tough sledding for the Americans as they tried to negotiate obstacles and get into position. The Germans were able to get in some good hits whittling away at the US assets and forcing the Americans through minefields to close for Assault. I’ll have to re-think the best ways to use all the fortifications as it was just a matter of time, and numbers, that allowed the Americans through. Once they were able to get past the speed bumps their overwhelming firepower won the day. It’s a fascinating puzzle for both sides and a high re-playability factor due to the available choices. I thoroughly enjoyed it (though the sheer number of fortifications can be a bit daunting to set up). As an added bonus I used the spiffy yellow-orange counters from Spearhead Division. Pretty colorful map with everything that was going on. |
