April 29, 1945. While pushing through Nazi Germany the 14th Armor Division sent forward Combat Command A to capture the bridges around Moosburg (crossing the Amper and Isar rivers). As CCA neared their objectives, they learned of a massive Prisoners of War Cam (POW) in Moosbutg, Stalag VIIA. Orders came down to liberate the camp while securing the bridges.

Special Rules
  • Each time the Americans use an Artillery strategy card, the Germans score 2 VPs. The German player scrims only for Artillery cards which successfully "make contact".
  • When an Artillery Attack hits, kill all POW units in that hex. The German player scores 2 VPs for each POW killed in this manner. If the final target hex is a building hex inside the POW camp, the Germans score an additional VP (in addition to any POWs killed).
  • Any direct fire attack (i.e. not mortars or artillery) against a German unit whose line of sight must be traced through the POW camp gains +2 cover.
  • Neither side may enter the POW camp.
  • Heavy vehicles cannot end their movement on a bridge. If they are forced to end their movement on a bridge, instead move them back to the last legal hex that they were in or moved through.
Terrain Features The streams are shallow.
Setup   The yellow shaded hexes represent the POW camp. The German player deploys two bases, each containing one regular American infantry, in each clear hex of the POW camp.
These represent the POWs and are not part of either force.
