Spearhead Division, scenario # 18: Wewer

This as a difficult scenario to play for either side, as the Germans have a large area to defend but the Americans have a short time limit to exit units east against three German units of dreaded Tiger IIs and Infantry support.

The Americans have three combat groups, one starts on the map and the other two come in as reinforcements but I believe there is a typo on the second group of reinforcements, if they roll a 6, they enter and exit in the same hex, so I ignored that and assumed entry is on map 24.

There is little time, so the Americans have to rush their numbers forward but those Tiger IIs are monsters, even for the American M36s, M26s & Jumbo Sherman’s and they lost a great deal of them, only with assault combat were the American Infantry able to takeout only two steps of Tigers.

Embarrassing but the Americans lost 44 steps, the Germans only lost 5 steps but the American exited off the east edge of the map 49 steps so the point difference favor the American by 5 points for a minor victory which felt hollow. But a fun scenario to play!
