Scenario GofB004

Played solo over two sessions. This scenario has the Nisei supported by elements of the 34th Div trying to hold ground against a combined arms attack from the 3rd Panzergrenadier Div. The German units come from both the north (on board units and the west edge) and have to take a the hill hex on board 8 and push all the US units south of a east west road. The US have good off board artillery support and air support though in my game the US air support appeared once and missed their target. The German reinforcements arrive quickly but accurate defensive fire cause early losses for the Germans and they have to regroup and attack again from the north this was more successful and pushed the Red Bull units back towards the Nisei. From the west the German Stugs were slowly disrupting the defense and the hill fell on GT 9 however the US troops had quickly dug in again behind the hill, this was a decisive move as the Germans poured over the hill and encircled the US forces, the extra cover given by the dug outs prevented the overwhelming German fire power from causing US losses. So when the assaults went in the attackers would have to face first fire from good order INF with leaders. This meant that in every attack there would be German units disrupted or demoralized before they could attack. By game end every un-demoralized US unit was in an assault hex but the Germans could not wipe them out, the result a US minor victory. Solid scenario this looks tough for the Germans to gain all their objectives. However this was a solo effort and we need to see more FtF plays to condemn this as unbalanced
