A Legend is Born?

[Scud]

I played it recently as the Germans and found it pretty easy. 40 turns is plenty of time to creep up with infantry and bring up the armor when they bump into something (literally). I headed for the exits, but branched south to pick up an objective and put pressure on the allied artillery. Once he started moving it I just ran it down. My opponent conceded fairly early and I didn't blame him. Not sure what I'd have done as the allies. I'd already reached the western exits, secured them and was moving out everything I didn't need, trucks, half-tracks, etc. by around the 30th turn.

We played with all optinal rules except EA and VV. Therefore, he might have tried some ambushes to get rear shots on my PzV's, but I didn't give him much opportunity. I rarely had them out front and only when I was relatively certain of their safety.

The weakest aspect as a playable scenario is the 40 turns. Cut it down to 20 or 25 and the allies have a chance, but with 40 the Germans can take their sweet time. My opponent also stayed back (for the most part) and let me bring the battle to him. I suppose he could have challenged me a little more aggressively, but I suspect the result would have been the same.
