We rolled No mans land for the land battle, I brought a Brummbar in addition to a Marder III (still have to pay the pts). Instead of using tank war lists, we just get to take an additional tank slot unit in a standard reinforced platoon.
I used the Free air observer card, whilst the allies played a fanatics card making all infantry and teams fanatics this game, however they cannot retreat so will be destroyed if they lose this battle.
Start of the Game, Germany castled up in the corner farm with the Brummbar and Marder III in reserve alongside 2 infantry squads, whilst the USA deployed in the centre, keeping 2 infantry squads, a jeep and a Bazooka team in reserve to outflank.
Ends of Turn 2 both sides had largely rallied from the Preliminary bombardment.
The US Heavy Mortar nailed the MMG team but only killed 1 member and they passed their Morale of a 5.
Turn III the Jeep ran on the threaten the Marder III flank with HMG fire but was countered by Grenadiers in reserve taking 4 Panzerfausts.
Bottom of turn III the German armour had come on, the Nebelwerfer had missed and would continue to miss every shot this game.
The Stuart charged, seeking out a flank shot on the Brummbar only to roll a 1.
Soon afterward the Marder reversed and put a shot into its side blowing it up.
Then the Forward air observers fought it out Hand to Hand with the Germans winning.
End of turn 4 all reserves were on the table with Germany leading 4 Nil
Having wiped one squad ad the AT Gun the Brummbar turned and wiped another squad at point blank range.
Then the LT moved forward with his Batman to mop up the remnants of the US infantry squad after a lucky Mortar strike.
Ending with an 8 Nil game turn 5 because the BBQ was finished, the Germans now controlled the mainland, the Allies reinforce themselves with a fleet.
