Scenario AirI002

American paras had a surfeit of high competence leaders. German artillery quickly fell to close assault (Remembered first fire for defending behind hedgerows and dug in). Germans did manage to create an close combat in woods in middle of map, holding American troops in that area until additional paratroop replacements arrived. Americans swept through first town hex without opposition, and seized second town hex in assault. Americans only suffered one step loss in process. Difficult to see how Germans win this one even with benefit of terrain. Ended game with demoralized Germans fleeing from second town hex, prior to arrival of 4th Infantry reinforcements. German mortar provides little more than harassing fire causing the occasional disruption. Feel that Germans would need additional units to balance scenario, as aggressive high morale American paratroops are difficult to even slow down. Terrain may actually provide advantage to American troops who have plenty of covered approaches to German positions.
