Thanks. Never said I wanted the Allies to win!
Have had Allied victories, just not the last two. My wife was unlucky.
Never thought of defence in depth though. Having a stop line like you described. Will look at it later tonight.
Try to maintain a continuous line. If you create ‘hardspots’ where the Axis can get ZOC on the hexes your units need for retreating you’ll find your tactical retreat hasn’t preserved anything.
No I just think that if they did have Peiper in a game they should also have Meyer or Wunsche or dozens of others.
It’s not necessary though. There will be plenty of other ways to rethink the battle.
