Played yesterday with Pino, we noticed some weaknesses:
- the Americans (having the initiative) easily manage to reach 5 CP in the first turn (2+1 USA and 2 neutrals on the eastmost bridge).
- the Germans only have 1 CP inside the forest (since the minefield blocks access to the 3 CPs in the house).
- the entrenchment on the hill (German side) seems less useful than the forest near the bridge (American side)

We played by completely removing the minefield but even by doing so the Germans suffered too much in the first 6 rounds.

Perhaps by removing the trucks and moving the troops forward on foot there could be more of a challenge.
