Team

Setup: I thought about this for a long time. I set MG34 to AMBUSH and kept them at the BACK of the house. The Command Team and MG42 were in 3 story bldgs.

[jhyden]

All teams set to AMBUSH. It didn't take long for US troopers to arrive!

overview

[jhyden]

The American advance begins to take shape. The lead team hugs the ground as they approach the first house...……………… I debated whether or not to open up...

[jhyden]

US troopers come into range and AD-Hoc opens up on their own!

[jhyden]

I decided to pull AD-Hoc out, once the mortars began to fall.

Meanwhile on the other side of the map, Light AA gun began to take mortar fire!

[jhyden]

Overview:
It turns out that Light AA had been firing at advancing US troopers! While I was busy with the center, things were beginning to heat up for MG34!

[jhyden]

The situation as I first found it. I ended up spending a lot of time at this location!

[jhyden]

Overview

[jhyden]

Meanwhile, back in the CENTER the repositioned AD-Hoc team had taken casualties. With the mortars still dropping, US teams skirt the middle and head south!

[jhyden]

US Troopers take the corner. Some of the units that move to the south will eventually encounter a fleeing (AA) crew member!

[jhyden]

Farmhouse: American casualties mount but eventually overwhelm the Germans. I'm virtually certain I witnessed a stun grenade attack. The two unconscious crew members eventually regained consciousness and began fighting again!
