2022-01-31(D) Jeff B vs Greg Quiroga American winGreg and I both had a little free time and played a pickup game on VASL. He selected this, as all he said he owned was old stuff and mostly played CGs. To say this one is rough for the Germans would be an understatement. 5 Turns to cross a bridge and grab as many buildings as possible. If they don't get smoke it's nigh impossible; even with it they'll have it rough as the Americans have some HIP tricks up their sleeves. Greg tested my men's mettle by trying to run some infantry across early. 1.5 squads of dead Germans later and he grew a bit more cautious. After smoking in my MG nest he tried crossing again with tank support. Unfortunately for him the road across the bridge was lined with AT mines and the Tiger and a Panther were stopped in their tracks, The infantry tried to continue to push on alone, but after the 9-1 pinned and his followers busted up he called it a day after 2.5 Turns.
2013-08-28(A) X von Marwitz vs Chris Mazzei German (SS) winWhen first looking at the scenario card and the board, this one looks very interesting. When thinking a little deeper about it, the scenario loses some of its appeal.
Basically, ONLY way across that River (not Stream!) is the Bridge. Because it is pretty much walled in, the amphibious Kübelwagen won't go swimming. The only appearance they are bound to make is to speed through for some EVPs if a path can be beaten clear.
For the German, getting down SMOKE is absolutely essential. And one better gets deeply into the nuances and limitations on the placement of SMOKE on a Bridge - so much at this point: Yes - Inf Smoke, Veh Smoke grenade, OBA Smoke; No - ordnance SMOKE, sD, sP, sN, sM. Go figure...
It appears that the US has a choice on which side of the stream to put their Schwerpunkt. But if they should try to stand up to the Germans right in their entry area, there will be likely many US prisoners as the ONLY way out is across the Bridge. The US have plenty to HIP but not much good choices where to do so. Placement of AT Mines on/behind the Bridge on paved road seems without much alternative (possible per SSR), but you'd better read up how known AT mines can be got rid of.
The most interesting thing of the scenario might be to figure it out before play. Playing it itself may be dicey depending on how SMOKE works for the Germans. I think if it does, they are hard to stop. If it doesn't the Germans are in trouble. Furthermore much depends on whether the US can get off a successful BAZ shot on a worthy target before being anihilated or not.
If you are lucky and things even out, this can be an interesting and tense scenario. Otherwise, so lala only. I would not recommend it for tournaments.
2012-05-26(A) Richard Carter vs tate rogers American winprobably did not use smoke enough initially, was distracted by amphibious units.
2009-09-03(D) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker American winSwapped sides and tried again. German was beaten by a lucky couple of shots from the bazoka crews
2009-09-01(A) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker German (SS) winNice scenario. Interesting situation keen to play this one again.
