Overview:

American forces dropped from the skies on June 6th were finally consolidating and receiving reinforcements and supplies. Commander of 7th Corps, General “Lightning Joe” Collins, came ashore to plant his flag on French soil. Stopping at a tank park, he told Lt. Col. Hupfer, CO of the 746th Tank Battalion, to get up and help the 82nd Airborne which might be in trouble. Hupfer, not apt to drag his feet after speaking to a corps commander, charged straight on into Ste. Mere-Eglise. As the tanks approached a hill on the road, they were taken under fire by the mobile anti-tank battalion from the 709th Infantry Division.
Attacker: American (746th Tank Battalion / 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment / 8th Infantry Regiment)
Defender: German (Regiment 1058, Luftlande-Infanterie-Division 91 / Panzerjäger Bataillon 709)

2024-12-19(D) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler German winAs others have implied, I think this one looks tough on the US.
Rob disagreed. I think that's partly because he doesn't want
to blame a loss on the scenario. I think he is wrong on this one.

Most of the US forces came in east of the main road, with some
coming in west of it. I had a Marder looking right down the road,
and I think that made Rob a bit nervous. The US approach of
staying off the main road meant that the bulk of my No Move
Germans were bolted in place for three (or is it 4?) turns.

The US approach was safer, but ate up precious time. The east
edge reinforcements were hampered just enough by my screen.

In the end, the US would have easily taken all the buildings, but
could not get enough points off to win. One tank made it easily
off, but another bogged/mired, and his last hope was taken down
by a PF. To be fair, that last vehicle had a gauntlet of up to 10 PF
shots and a Marder shot to get through.

The US lost one tank to a 12 DR on an NMC, another to a DI shot,
one to a Marder, and at least one to a lucky PF.

Initially, it feels tough on the Germans. The US have much better
firepower, lotsa smoke, and lotsa tanks. It's by design as the US
victory conditions are quite difficult.

The US balance is that all German crews are inexperienced. We
agreed this would be a big change, and (as alluded to earlier),
one Rob did not think this was necessary.

I would certainly recommend this. Give the more experienced
player the US, as their job is more difficult.

2021-06-06(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winEven with bocage and 15 AFVs, this one plays fairly fast because of the German movement restriction. It was a blast! Momentum was all US until I 'woke up' the Germans in the sunken road. I pushed the 666s off the map for exit VP before I had the whole village, and Jim took advantage. His counterattack helped two MMC hold V1 and U2L1 against all my 747s and two M4s until the last turn. The last M4 close enough to exit took a PF hit, and I fell just short on exit VP. This was classic "it's not over 'til the last DR ASL!"
