In my humble opinion- if the German Herman Goering Div commander takes transport for his squads (which is historically accurate as Goering pet division was nearly fully motorized) – the scenario is unwinnable for the US player. A russki like swarm of HG Div grenadiers swamps 2 of 3 objectives on Biarra ridge.
My regulars and I have played the scenario 4 times now. Sometimes a tiger gets knocked out by a bazooka team, sometimes the regular HGDiv troops roll a 1 or a 2 and downgrade to inexperienced. But every time enough German troops overwhelm the objective ridge.
Our “house rule” idea is scrap the US delayed reserves and have everything arrive on turn 2.
The 2nd and 3rd picture depict a strong tactical defensive set up- of a 10.5cm arty, a MMG team (both going on ambush any chance they can) and a large lmg squad to withstand close combat.
I thought I’d add some more pics with Tigers at play, and a sdkfz 10/4 which tends to burn easily as a soft skin amongst US Paras.
