A Quiet Day in September After the liberation of France, the fluid situation often left both sides wondering where the front lines were. As each side launched probing attacks to discover the other's whereabouts they slammed head-on into each other.

Special Rules Strategy cards are not used in this scenario. Command points may only be used for initiative. It is recommended that players use hidden initial set-up. It is also suggested that the op-fire status of units be hidden by placing either a fatigued marker or op-fire marker secretly under each unit at the end of the status phase. Units with a fatigued marker may be given any order (except for opportunity fire) while units with an op-fire marker may only opportunity fire; the status of a unit is not revealed unit activated or used for opportunity fire.

Here are the doubts that arose during the game I played a few days ago:
  1. The Germans manage to advance with their officer to the command point from the first turn. The Americans are absolutely unable to do so. So the initiative will remain German for the entire game.
  2. Usually, under normal conditions, two Shermans struggled to take on one Panzer IV. Considering that they were already wounded at the start of the game, the balance seemed to be heavily in German favor.
Final score: Allies 5 - Axis 10
(all four objective points on the map were under German control).

Could removing the initial German command point rebalance the game?
It would at least give the Americans a chance to gain the initiative somehow...
