2022-12-12	(A) Andy Goldin	vs	Stephen Worrel		American win	A close win for the Americans. Stephen's terrible MC DRs had something to do with it, as he rolled '12' at least four times. These rolls took two HSs off the board and reduced two full squads to HS, thereby helping clear the board for me. The Germans aren't especially strong in infantry, but it doesn't take much to hold up an attacker in the bocage. Stephen chose a forward defense. My route of attack along the right side of the board resulted in me bypassing his AA guns but I ran into both of his mortars. Timely arrival of his reinforcements prevented my end run from reaching the hill unopposed but by that point I had inflicted enough casualties on the Germans that I was able to maneuver through gaps in his line to reach the hilltop. By the last turn I managed to position my entire force to get to the level 2 hexes and, significantly outnumbered, he conceded. Like the other scenarios we have played from this pack, both sides have mediocre leadership and the Americans, in my opinion, don't have enough leaders either. American firepower is necessary but hard to bear on a target (especially the OBA). Once the attacker gets a breakthrough, you end up leaving the 5PP HMGs behind for the sake of time but if you do, you don't have them at the ready to breach the next line of bocage. OBA is tough to use because limited lines of sight restrict your ability to find defending Germans but it's necessary to get steel on target to affect a breach. The Americans could use another turn or slightly fewer Germans to make it work, in my opinion.
