RE: Favorite Scenarios ?

I have been playing Greyhound Dash as the Germans. Starts out with a partial force of the 116 Panzer Division (Greyhound). Great scenario.
Couple of years late, but I LIKE this scenario, and I think it is well designed. It may not be that hard for the Americans, but it it is harder than the tutorial, and it is a good next step.ORIGINAL: tukker
I have been a little bit disappointed by "Hell on Wheels Counterattack" which isn't much a challenge.
This scenario may be too easy as the US, and too hard as the Germans. [8|]
There were two reasons for me designing it:
-I wanted to do at least one historical scenario set during the US counterattack on the Northern Shoulder. "Hell on Wheels" does have the historical OOB's, and (amazingly) KGr Kreutz did manage to delay 2nd Armored's advance: the Americans didn't reach Dochamps untill Jan 9 historically.
-I figured a relatively straigthforward scenario with good odds for the attacker might be useful for new players learning the ropes.
Have you tried it yet with both Axis and Allied reinforcement schedules set to "Favour Axis" ?

The introduction of getting units off the map is a good introduction to that concept. Also, there are several different tactics that can be used. If you use the wrong ones, you can wind up with a draw or even a marginal defeat. (1st time I played it, I think that's what I got; I goofed on getting units to Samree.)
