Scenario IN44003

This was a 3-session play-through with the redoubtable and hilarious, Treadasaurus, leading the defending Germans. We ignored the defense-favoring Fog of War, but used the smoke/illum, excess initiative and extended assault rules. I had the attacking Americans in this wild ride that ended in a very close draw. We drew middling leaders for both sides. The American senior leader was killed for a decapitation in the 8th turn.

Others have described this battle in-depth, so I will just summarize our play.

All three sessions were bloody and frustrating, with fierce fighting over the 2-hex town of Sainte-Clair-sur-l’Elle. The game ended with half a loaf as only a single town hex was controlled by the US side. The German paras were just too tough in the close assaults. I give this one a 3, and recommend it for solitaire and shared play.
