Is assaulting Bunkers too hard ?

[Ricky B]

For those that feel the need to quote part of what I said, and ignore the rest, as I guess it doesn't support what you feel, I have one more comment to add, then I will leave you all alone :-). For those that feel it is unrealistic that 5 men, or 10 men or 3 men hold out against hundreds of men (and running the same save over and over is NOT a good test as the engine uses a seed value and has a very limited result set from a save-I would suggest trying, ending the turn and continuing until it does fall, and try that over and over a few times), I have this final tidbit to offer.

Based on the US Army Center of Military History-Omaha Beachhead:

Between 07:30 and 08:30 WN-62 and the adjacent positions were assaulted by elements of G/16 and E/16 (G and E Company (Coy). 16th RCT (Regimental Combat Team) of the 1st Infantry Division together with E/116 (E Coy. 116th RCT) of the 29th Infantry Division, who landed at 06:29[11]

Led by Sergeant Philip Streczyk and Lieutenant John M. Spalding[12] the combined force climbed the bluffs at Easy Red, between WN-64 and WN-62. At 09:05, German observers reported that WN-61 was lost, and that only one machine gun was still firing from WN-62. However, as early as 07:35 a radio operator in 726th Grenadier Regiment, defending Fox Green beach, reported that 100–200 American troops had penetrated the front, with troops inside the wire at WN-62 and WN-61, attacking from the rear.[13]

-------------------------

WN 62 was held by approximately 40 men plus heavier weapons. Within an hour of the landing, the US forces had penetrated the wire and were attacking this set of bunkers/positions from the rear. An hour and a half later, there was still 1 MG firing from the position, and presumably most of the defenders by this time were destroyed in game terms. However, this single MG and crew did not surrender right away. So I take this to be at least 4 game turns of close in fighting to eliminate resistance in this one position alone, and it was one of the earlier ones to fall. And from what I have seen, the scenario will replicate this with some kind of reasonable result.
