DAY 1 TURN 1

St. Oedenrode, German garrison vs 501st PIR/101st AB DIV + reserve battlegroup

Oh dear... oh dear. Another new feature of LSA is that
one can stack 2 BG's into one sector, the other is frontline
BG and the other is reserve, giving the side that has stacked
them a huge force pool. And they give me 2 x 20mm flaks,
3 x rifleteams, 1 x command team and 1 x light MG34 to counter
them.

Looking at the map, I see the allies are coming from East and
South, which means I cannot focus my fire on just one direction.
There goes my chances.

Unit composition

Knowing the AI, it probably takes the shortest route to the
main flag, bridge in this case.

All they had coming from South was one Bazooka team,
good diversion thought.

10 minutes in and it became a race on who runs out of ammo first
with both sides holed up into the buildings along the
river. Sadly, I would be the one to run out of ammo first.

12 minutes remaining and I was running extremely short on ammo,
so I decided to blow the bridge and give allies total victory.

End result

With another MG I think I could've held them atleast for this turn, but not with what I had. Just not enough ammunition.
