Secret Weapons still has a lot of untapped scenarios I want to play and this one was no exception. The real challenge in this scenario is how to tackle those large dug-in Maus monster tanks? The Americans do have a large advantage in numbers for every type of unit to clear the east-road but still the Maus tanks are really tough, even for the US Pershing tanks.

The first two turns went beautiful for the American, they brought the R4 Helicopter on the map to spot for all the American off board artillery to soften German Infantry & AT position before the American ground force emerge from the forest hexes to the west. The Americans also drew a P47 aircraft with a 2 AT dice roll factor and roll one 6 with the two attempts, thus eliminating one step of Maus right away, now only five to go. After turn two, the helicopter received direct fire that demoralized it, so I couldn’t spot for artillery anymore, so it was time to rush the massive American ground force at the bulk of the Germans force in the city hexes on map 24 and those remaining Maus tanks.

The Maus tanks did a number on some of my armor but the next three turns I was able to take out 4 more steps of them with Pershing cross fire, assaults and just nice high AT rolls, the remain one slip back in the city to be destroyed later. But now the over looked X7 German Missiles had their turn, destroying a loaded M39 with Infantry & Leader, 2 steps of Pershing M26’s and 2 steps of M45’s. They were later taken care of by the massive ground force.

The Americans achieved one of their objectives, of clearing the east-west road but the German achieved one of their victory objectives of eliminating 25 or more American steps. Both sides achieved a minor victory resulting in a Draw. Fun scenario to play with all the big toys, I must play so more of these scenarios.
