This pic shows the successful escape of the Axis forces during the scenario, Night Withdrawal. They finished off their escape with a Their Finest Hour card which fortunately rolled dice to allow the last two units to escape right before they would have surely been finished off by the Allied forces, who were closing in.
As you can see in this pic, four out of the five medals achieved were due to exiting the battlefield.
Is this a normal result for this scenario? Are the Axis usually able to escape with so many forces?
How’s it work out for you? Do you normally win your medals by killing of enemy units, or by escaping?
I haven’t played this scenario very often, but I find that if the allies can attack and hold the centre it is difficult for the Germans to reach the exit without being mauled, and thus have to destroy units with the better cards in the game such as behind enemy lines, TFH, etc.
Agreed, but forcing the Allies into the centre is the big challenge. But it can be done!
