Ad Hoc at Chef-Du-Pont | Tony Fermendzin | American | 2020-11-13 | Lost | This was the 2nd playing of this scenario for Game of the Month between Tony F and myself. The American forces on the East flank made good progress but the west flank was indecisive and a little shaky. The Germans skillfully avoided significant fire from the advancing Americans and preserved their forces well for the end game. On the last turn the Americans did not have enough units in position to make a serious run at the exit. The game ended with a lone German 8-0 leader defiantly shrugging off all fire directed at him as he blocked the exit hex. | 7 |
Once the Americans were able to mass their (massive) FP along the river on either side of the footbridge, those two FGs were soon DMd and the route to victory was open.
This scenario is the SK version of a couple of ASL scenarios, one of which is in the mini HASL "Hell's Corner." IIRC, both of the ASL versions are difficult for the Americans to win. However, IMO this SK version is tilted noticeably in favor of the Americans.
That imbalance, coupled with unlucky dice, was more than Bob could overcome.
