OK...so would you like to play it again as the Germans?
So how did you defend as the Germans? Put the units in the builds, a series of lines...how? You could use milsketch or paint program to help visualise your defence as the Germans.
Could be the side with the most firepower at point of contact can advance or block.
Did your opponents advance on multiple points?
Hmmm... I'm not sure I want to reveal my defensive tactics if I'm to play it again as the Americans.. But I think if I am to play it again, I must try to win it as the US side. That would be a challenge. The terrain is a defender's dream.
