MG Sheriff of Oosterbeek - Combat Mission: Battle For Normandy

Fun, tough but winnable - messed up, Mike didn't.

An excellent map and scenario. The battle does seem to favour the German side somewhat owing to having armour, more artillery and slightly more infantry. However, the most influential factor contributing to an imbalance, IMHO, was the paucity of supplies for the British side. For almost the entire battle, I had to withhold fire to conserve ammunition and, by the end, had nearly half my remaining troops without any ammo! To provide more balance, I would recommend the following:

1) Increase British supply to limited

2) Have German initial German troops arrive a couple minutes into the battle or allow limited British deployment to start. As it is, the British could lose almost an entire platoon at the start as their troops are completely exposed on a road.

A great scenario. Clearing a village is a tough proposition especially with the Germans starting in a bit of a bottleneck with no buildings under their control and the British AB already occupying most of it, albeit strung out. Great fun whether it is balanced or not.
