I'm inclined to blame the scenario as I have not enjoyed it any time I've played it regardless of the rules (Disposable Heroes/Coffin for Seven Brothers and I think something else). Nuts! has, at least in the past, done a better job of the solo patrol scenario (I stopped buying Nuts! editions after Final Edition!) than scenario J from Platoon Forward! The victory conditions just don't feel decisive enough for a game, though they may reflect reality. The beauty of the OHSW rules for me is the use of cards for everything (I prefer card draws to rolling dice) and they require but a handful of figures per side. 10-14 or so probably makes for the most interesting in terms of decision making for the player, but I think the game works fine with just a few per side (my tank game pitted 3 Shermans vs a Tiger 1 and Panzer IV and the cards rarely allowed all of the vehicles to do everything I wanted per card). I think it's a disservice that they used the "One Hour" monicker as it implies a relationship to Neil Thomas's rules that just doesn't exist, other than the short time required to play a game.
