2020-08-03(A) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd American winA critical hit on the German 150 paved the way for the Americans to cross the bridge with very little resistance. The American tanks were unhindered mostly, with the infantry able to pin down the German infantry. Dennis set up so that he could get across the stream on turn one. Americans came up the center for the most part.

2017-08-17(D) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall German win3 hrsThe Germans lightly protected each of the flanks and the central building clusters on the hill; everyone else (including the tank) was at the bridge ready to make it across to the hills. This they managed to do, but mistakenly (or was it?)left the middle open for an aggressive American push across themselves. Thus brutal close quarter fighting was already in progress in the victory area by Turn 3. It was simply a matter of who got luckiest at that point. By Turn 4 all but one American half squad was across the stream. By the end of the turn all American units on that side were broken. Game over.
2017-06-13(D) X von Marwitz vs Paul Treslove German winA very short 4.5 turn scenario. The US have to cross a stream and then get more GO MMC on the hills than the Germans, which have to fend off the attacking US and fall back across the stream to get onto the hills as well. The situation is interesting and the action intense. In my game, the Germans managed the fighting withdrawal for the win. The greatest weakness of this scenario is probably that it is very short (4.5 turns) and does involve not many units. Therefore, it tends to be dicey in my opinion. There hardly any time to recover from freak DRs, malfunktions or the freaky breaking of some key unit. As long as such occurrences or their absence happen to be balanced for both sides, it will be a blast to play. Otherwise, it might feel a bit frustrating. For that reason, I gave it only an average rating despite our game was quite balanced in this regard: The US Sniper broke one crucial German squad with PSK right at the start with no leader anywhere near. The US M4 (105) was taken out before firing a shot by the Brummbär with HEAT, the US 9-2 broken and wounded early in the game. A bit later, the well placed Brummbär was taken out by a CH with APCR of the M10 to give some examples.
