I won a match of J193 RAFF'S RULES with the Americans against Tom Arnold. I went for a win-by-exit strategy, trying to avoid the AA guns and the strength of the German defence. My troops went up their right side. I lost one squad early to the FL through the woods down the road; I had seen that possibility pre-game, but forgot about it during the game. That was the only American CVP loss during the game. The Germans shifted fairly well, but the Americans were able to break the MMG crew to continue down the right side. The small flak gun was mid-board in woods and pivoted to shoot at the Americans with limited LOS and without effect. It and its crew went down in CC. The ART pieces fired every phase that they could, but one of them broke mid-game and eliminated itself on a repair attempt (for two additional American points). The 88 was in woods more on the American left and German rear, so it had a very hindered LOS to the Americans. It put some acqs down, but never hurt anyone. By turn 5, most of the Americans were in the last woods clump on the right. Their fire broke some of the Germans positioned there and two Germans LMG broke during that turn. As the Americans started exiting on the last turn, the German MMG cowered, which opened the way for them. The Americans ended with 29 points to the German 10.
