Special Rules
  • The Americans start with 3 available command.
  • The Americans may draw 2 Strategy cards instead of 1 at the start of each Status Phase.
  • At the beginning of each Command Phase, the Americans may spend 1 command to retrieve a discarded "Bombing Run" card and place it face up in their HQ area.
  • If the Americans control victory objective marker 2 or 3 at the end of any round, replace Artillery 1 deck with Artillery 2 deck (all face up cards remain in play).
  • Siegfried line Pillboxes are stronger then normal, so tanks firing at them still get the +3 to range but do not get the +3 Concussive Firepower bonus

Played this night with my friend.
Due to lucky rolls for USA and at the same time unlucky for GER we ended up at the end of round 2.
Too many Sherman and too many troops (with annihilated GER machineguns).
Tiger tank was really too far from entering.
