AAR: Eagles Strike - Buchholz Station

[Rabbit]

Turn 1 US:


START OF TURN:



This scenario is very short at only eight turns so I am not worried about the Germans being able to penetrate my lines very far. If you look at the map, the roads form two circles in the lower middle of the map. It looks like most of the battle will take place within the larger of the two circles. As such, the US will be splitting its forces into three main areas so as to protect each objective. So this turn the US simply started spreading out their troops towards each area.

Note that darker brown denotes higher elevation. This is important in this scenario because the lower left-hand objective is at the very top of a steep ridge. There is a similarly high ridge to the right of the US forces. I hope to get my forces atop that left ridge before the Germans. I also plan on moving a machine gun onto the ridge on the far right, since it has a great deal of visibility.
