The Moroccan set up in the same old area, only had MUCH more to set up with. Throw in all the Artillery they had to boot.... and it WAS rather like beating one's head against a brick wall. Found a hole in the line during the third turn 3 (a bogus minefield) and the German Commander tried to shuttle the tanks in through the hole. Unfortunately, the hole was buttressed by a town, which proved absolutely unbeatable, on one side and a "2" minefield on the other side. Reinforcements came (both sets of them) on the same turn (11), due to miserable dicing for the first set of reinforcements, and tried to shuttle them through the singular hole in the line. The Right side of the Moroccan rear began to break apart during turn 11 and the German tanks and infantry started pushing toward the "money makers" on that side of the arena in the hopes that there would be enough time left to pick off a few of the town hexes on the Left side of the arena. This proved to be a futile attempt, as the Moroccans had plenty of reserves to shore up any cracks in the defense. All in all a very frustrating battle for the Germans. (Note: There SHOULD be a way to get through a solid line like that, but to date I haven't found it.)
