Was it a solo game or have you found some historic gamers in the Far North?

I have found a bunch of historical gamers up here  but this was a solo game to refresh my memory before teaching them this week

Sort of a solo tester session that turned out to be a lot of fun. Things wot I learnt: gendarmes are 'effing dangerous even when under pressure; lots of shooty cavalry is great for pinning down the opposition and keeping the initiative.

My Germans were soundly defeated by the Americans. It didn't help that my reserves were slow to come in while the American's pretty much had all their units on the board by the end of the fourth turn. I had to spend a lot of my activation points on Company Morale Tests instead of taking offensive actions against my opponent.

Since this was our first game, we did miss a rule or two but nothing too bad that affected the outcome of the game.
We liked the fact that the combat rules are easy to pick up and we were engaged with the game the entire time. Even when your opponent as the initiative, you still are reacting and thinking about how to spend your activation tokens.  Our next game should be in three weeks so I'm busy getting more troops painted.
