Since it was D-Day, I let my son play his US army while I commanded to the Germans. We tried to setup the table to represent the beach landing (minus the water) and elected to play the scenario "Envelopment" with the US being the attackers (without the ability to 'Outflank'). We both selected 'theater' lists with the Germans playing 'Normandy' instead of 'Atlantik Wall' (I do not have the appropriate models for that list).
With the layout of the table and the Germans being able to start 'Hidden', I knew it was going to be hard time for the Americans, but it was all for fun, and with the possibility of re-writing history.

Points: 1000

Objective: The attacker must try to move as many of his units as he can into the defender's set-up zone or off the opposing side's table edge.
Armies: United States 'Attackers' (Dragi) vs Germany 'Defenders' (Dean)

Turn 1:
During the first turn it was mainly just the US advancing onto the table. Not too many units had range to fire. The German sniper missed with his shot as well as the German MMG.

The Germans kill 4 US Pioneers and they fail their Morale test.
Turn 3:
The US new 75mm Pack Howitzer takes out the German MMG team.
Turn 4:
The Germans concentrated fire on a US squad and eliminating them while also thinning down the US Rangers squad.
Turn 5:
The US Sherman fires at the German Stug III and misses. Germany fires back and knocks out the Sherman. Germany also then concentrated fire on the US Rangers and they fail Morale.
