I played this yesterday and found it really difficult for the Americans, considering 6 German tanks (including 2 Tiger with extra thick armor) vs only 3 antitank specializations (useful ones).
The cover provided by the depression (+2) is not enough against 5 German Machine Guns in Opportunity fire.
The Americans also suffered a lot from having only 1 command point available and the command deck (useless), during this game they didn't even get to take the command point 2 on the hill, because 1 Tiger tank had lain down in the depression (with a total coverage of 8, including ETA).
On the other side Germans can rely on 5 to 7 Command Points each turn (always keeping the initiative) with 2 main bonuses:
- 3 actions per turn (vs 2 USA actions)
- German Reinforcement Deck
A real massacre, just like in reality.
