2020-04-02(A) Eric Topp vs John Fedirow American winWe played with the German balance. Game decided by the last CC DR
2020-01-04(A) Christian Knudsen vs Neil Andrews German winYeesh I am terrible with Americans and using smoke. Put the OBA in the middle of the town to cover my advance, and that didn't do a thing. Should have attacked through the open with smoke cover, instead of through the town.
2019-07-01(D) Will Willow vs David Lamb American winFTF
2019-05-21(D) Raoul Duke vs MB German winIn light of the 11-2 (pro-US) record going in, we gave the Germans the balance.

The Americans have a slightly tricky job, in that they need to capture three fairly disconnecte locations (the Train Station, the Cemetary, and building X9). However, they have plenty of tools with which to accomplish those tasks-- four Shermans and a smoke barrage.

The Germans are stretched pretty thin, particularly where anti-tank assets are concerned. Panzerfausts and a Panzerschreck can help keep the Shermans from coming too close, but one PaK 40 isn't really enough to prevent envelopment.

The German balance provision doesn't help in the AT department, but goes a long way towards offsetting the infantry disparity. An extra squad never hurts, but by bringing the squad total to 11, it allows the Germans to deploy a second squad right off the bat.

Even with the balance, I think this one has the potential to be a bit pro-US. A critical ambush in the Train Station and my opponent's utter inability to pass a morale check were strong contributers to German victory.
