I've decided to see how the second VG attack goes given the US took such heavy losses during the predawn attack. The usual strategy is to make 2 wide flanking attacks while mortars, Infantry guns and MGs add what support they can from the treeline.
This is not the direct frontal probes that seem to have been attempted in the real battle, but we have to allow some latitude or it's pointless. The key is to coordinate two or more attacks in order to split the US mobile FP (which now is limited to the 3 M8s) and hope to break in on one or more axis. I think the VG have an excellent chance but they remain rather brittle (cohesion 3) while the US do have good FP, foxholes and the deadly 105s. A single round from Parker's gun eliminated an sMG Gruppe already.
