Both sides have hidden map objectives once obtained there was not much incentive to venture forth since trying to take one of the other objectives on the other side of the map means walking into an ambush and pre-sighted arty - H and I both agreed it is "a crazy ass scenario"

a tough close quarters battle in the meat grinder of the Huertgen forest. Hard to gain an advantage for either side due to the short range and amount of automatic weapons for both sides.

A rather dull scenario. Also, I played very poorly and still pulled out a draw.

Tough, but interesting scenario. V.good intro to hell that is Huertgan (sp?)

Dunno whether I really enjoyed it, but would play again as it's tactically interesting.

Balanced forces in dense terrain. Interesting micro-topography which can be used to great advantage by either side.

[Spoilers ahead?]

The particular make up of the German forces means that they more naturally fit with a defensive posture, which may give them an edge in on a map which favours ambushes.

A good little scenario for practicing infantry movement has a very slow start but gets better when the troops meet. I would say pro axis just because of there abundance of automatic weapons

Spoilers: With the positioning of the middle ground 'interesting' terrain as well as the Axis automatic firepower, it seems to favor the axis ever so slightly?

Also, even with the Axis finding 3 of the objectives versus Allies only 2, and with the kill counts similar, we still could only manage a draw (150 point difference. Which I found odd, seeing as this is promoted as a 'patrolling' style of mission, rather than 'obliterate' the enemy mission. So that effectively removed the Checkpoints as a viable goalpost.

I feel more point weighting should be given to the checkpoints, as this would encourage aggressive (or sneaky?) patrols.

Well balanced. Slow to develop due to the map size and force levels but very entertaining.

I think the Allies manpower advantage is more significant than the potential German automatic weapons advantage. Visibility was poor and whoever is moving tends to come off worse in encounters. Not one of my favorites.

Nice map. In the beginnig the game was boring (nothing happened), but at the end it was a hard fight.
Only touching points are a little bit strange.
From my point of view the germans with a lot of automatic weapons are slightly advantaged in this map with a lot of firefights on a close range -> on the other side the allies are more soldiers
