In this scenario, you have a view (LOF) of your opponent's setup zone. This can be a nasty surprise, especially when playing the scenario "blind". Artillery is missing or arrives far too late

But the US Army in this scenario has a lot more infantry than the Axis, right? I also realized that my opponent could almost see my Tiger’s deployment zone, but by moving one of my halftracks I spotted a sneak route that I used to push my Tiger forward.

I found this difficult to win as attacker. More time to play and more arty in the beginning would have helped.

Now that I've finished this scenario as Axis, I'd like to play it again as the Allies. If anyone wants to try it from the other side, please send me a PM
