Another ftf with my son Jacob who again manned the American defenders. The leadership draw had a huge impact on this battle. The Americans drew an 11.1.2 Lt. Colonel who provided super hero-like leadership. They were opposed by a woefully inadequately led German force -- the highest German leaders had only 9's for morale. Lt. Colonel "America" set up a powerful defense on the reverse side of the board 25 hill which completely controlled the crossroads. Entrenched, dug-in, and with Lt. Colonel "America" apparently firing the BAR gun from his hip one handed while constantly rallying his men, the Americans never budged from their line. The Germans did some damage on the flanks but spent most of the battle banging their coal-shuttle helmets against the American "wall." This was an extremely frustrating battle for the Germans. However, I still rate it a 3 as I believe that had the leadership been different, the outcome might have been a little more balanced.
