Scenario Overview by Evil Knivel @ BGG

"...still a lot of fun for the Germans because they have so much to do."
Favors: Americans
Fixes:
(a) cut down 2-3 turns
(b) a single additional tank for the Germans or remove 2 US shermans
(c) a really good scenario if you're introducing a new player to the game – give them the Americans.

A couple questions about this scenario (fun and intense German minor victory last night):
  1. Scenario detail states 9 rounds but the Objective clearly states "end of game round 8". Which is the correct game length? 8 or 9 rounds?
  2. There are no terrain features details about the river: do you consider it impassable?
