Game Setup (Back) US Forces defend Church Hill, Germans to approach from three sides. Played on a 5 foot by 7 foot table (part of a ping pong table). The game played was, of course, Arty Conliffe's Crossfire using Tim's house rules (for armour, artillery, etc) Multi-player considerations were as per my "Multiple Turnover" approach.

Objective US defenders to hold Church Hill. If overwhelmed, withdraw.
