I am currently playing a WF scenario designed by Kool Kat, entilted Breakout at Benicourt. I can highly recommend it as a fun, fast paced nail biter for the Allied player, with lots of options and surprises. (I have not played it as the Axis.)
As the Yanks, you are required to break through a German line of defense, consisting of IPs, blocks and difficult terrain. The goal is to penetrate into the German rear area to capture VP hexes. I am finding the biggest challenge to be balancing speed and casualties. Go too fast and lose too many units, leading to defeat. Go too slow to take care to reduce losses, time expires and you cannot grab the VP hexes, leading to defeat. Finding the right balance is elusive with the modified assault rules in play, but doable.
If you are looking for a new test, that is not too big, and refreshingly intense, give this one a whirl.
