Played this one with Tycho. Got whipped. Could have been worse, the Tropical Storm that was off the coast could have hit this area...

| The setup. The Germans had 5 turns to get 15+ CVP off the far edge. FT tanks are nice but they are slow and red MPs. At least FTs can be deadly in motion. |
 |
| End of German turn 4 and I conceeded. The Piat at the top of the board broke when firing the first time so I did not fire on it and took out a nearby squad instead. Of course the thing was repaired and smoked my in motion FT tank. Not a good start. WORSE is the trail of the pesky 8-1 leader I show. He managed to stay concealed when jumped by CC, manage to survive the CC, broke when leaving the CC hex, routed, self rallied first chance, broken again leading a squad, routed to the wood building, rallied right away (I think), survived a 30 flat FT attack, picked up the PIAT the DM HS in his hex was carrying and picked off the other FT tank. I tried a few more IFT shots to try and clear the last enemy defenses but they all came up bad and I conceded the game. |
I probably should have kept some guys on the tanks and did an end run off the map using the other squads to pin down the defenders. At any rate I played poorly and Tycho played well. A fun scenario that we manage to play in 90 minutes (not including setup time).
