So it fits in with BCKII?

Thanks in advance

I know its your scenario ( i think ) and your game.

But i was thiking maybe adding some AT to the infantry. And there seems to be an awful lot of Artillary on the US side, is that intentional. (not knowing a think about the scenario)

" And there seems to be an awful lot of Artillary on the US side..."

That is because the Yanks usually invite everyone and their cousin Joe to a battle.Wink Also, there is a special rule that if the US FOO rolls a blunder they lose one battery to an ammo shortage. I would say the scenario is good to go for BKCII as is.

Final question, i think, about this scenario.

The troop transport is just listed as Hanomags, Im going to be using the germans as the core of my german battle group so which models should i get to represent them?

Thansk.,

Here's a good site with maps about the battle.

Here's Mortain today. If you click on the Terrain button you can see the hills and roads better.

You're going to need to Zoom in a bit on the Maplandia maps.
