This will be an intensive scenario of attack and counterattack. The battlefield will be set up much like last year, with dragons’ teeth, barbed wire obstacles and bombed out buildings to be occupied by Axis troops. Participants are encouraged to bring other props and set dressing to help bring the battlefield to life. A way will be found to utilize all vehicles that attend. If enough German vehicles participate we will begin the scenario by having an Axis convoy enter the battle area and deploy troops to their defensive positions. Axis troops may camp in the grassy area alongside 35th Street, or in the area around the battlefield buildings or wood line behind the German positions.

Allied troops will have their positions in the tree line east of the battlefield. There will be a large amount of military pyrotechnics employed during the scenario to depict artillery barrages, Bangalore torpedo explosions and smoke. The battle should last 40 minutes and will end with the Allies taking the buildings and raising the Texas flag over the German headquarters.
