The final score for the Americans is 300 VP, enough for a Minor Victory.

Any chance to get a Major evaporated when the American forces holding the South hill were all killed.

The AI was - as usual - a bit slow (the idea of bypassing enemy units is utterly alien to it, so it spent too much time dealing with the two HS in Andler). I think it would be a nice option to give the AI some extra turns to accomplish its mission; this should offset the effects of the above mentioned behavior and of other AI deficiencies (e.g. I set the reserve M5A1 to CE, to have it pay the 1/2 MP road movement rate; the AI will never do so).

The AI also went straight for the closer VP hexes, i.e. the ones in Andler and then the one near the South bridge. Unfortunately for its score, these also were the ones worth less VPs.
I will try replaying the scenario to see if it adopts a different approach from game to game, but I am afraid it considers the VP hex past the South bridge (11 hexes from the neutral VP hex) much more appealing that the VP hex past the West bridge (17 hexes from the neutral VP hex). In my not necessarily correct opinion, this issue could be solved by fiddling with the position of the VP hexes or by giving "ATTACK X,Y" orders to some units.

I just realized its a board game, you guys are actually playing a board game. That's why I thought it looked goofy, my apologies.

I will leave you guys to it.

Haven't laughed this hard in a while.

Sorry if I offended the guy with the pet pictures.
