Many options for the Aliied player to choose.
Panther
The first steps for the Allies are very dangerous! The german MG platoons are very strong, their knockout isn´t easy. But a the middle of the game the Allied advantage will be larger.
I create and revise: Order of Battles, Table of Equipments, Weapon Values for Modern Wars (in work: DG Lebanon War 1982 - 1985, DG Falklands War and again CWE!)
Digger
Plenty of options for both players, though the Allied mobility and strong artillery and air support is a distinct advantage

Might need a little tweaking of the victory points. Would be totally pro allied if Extreme Assault was OFF
Herr Straße Laufer
Should not be played with extreme assault rules turned on.

John Given
If the german prepares properly, and sets up his airstrikes carefully, he can do a lot of damage to the allies.
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.

Tough slog for the allies, but winnable. Lots of attack options, but pick the wrong one and the game will go to the Germans. Challenging scenario.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly

I enjoyed the layout with the two fronts, one amphibious. Many options for the Americans.
The German strength is in the quality of their troops. Well equipped with just enough armor and anti-tank guns. The American should well consider that there's plenty of time to develop a good, strong attack where necessary. Don't piecemeal it.
