Introduction
|
|
Even with two companies lugging supplies to them during the night, the 100th Battalion was not overburdened with ammo, plus they only had the limited cold rations they had brought into battle. Therefore, when the order came down to take Biffontaine in the morning many officers questioned its wisdom. Assault consumed a heck of a lot more ammunition than defending their position, and resupply was not going to get any easier. Nevertheless, orders are orders.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
The Nisei drove the grenadiers from the town rather easily but their ammo supply was nearly kaput. This would have significant consequences until a road to them was secured. What galled the men most, however, was the lack of any tangible tactical or strategic benefit to taking Biffontaine which was not astride any major thoroughfares. Damn the headquarters slugs in their warm bunker anyway.

Additional Notes
|
|
This scenario is an updated version of the "A Questionable Move" scenario from the 1st edition of Go for Broke.
The American FLM unit seems to be a hold over from the 1st edition. U.S Army FLM units may be found in Cassino'44, Saipan'44, and Nihon Silk. |
