Wow, that was a lot of fighting you did!
I wish I thought of that, replaying the scenario immediately and switching sides. I am now almost done with the scenario book playing on the Axis side and then will try out the same scenarios on the Allied side. Cool stuff!
There are some scenarios where I’m pretty sure the Allies have an advantage. You can select these to give him the leverage and then play against him like he was an adult. You might end up not going easy on him and actually need to try hard to win!
I cracked up right about here. I find it funny, also because I took a massive beating from my fianceé, because I always think that we finish with usually the same amount of medals, it’s a matter of who crosses the finish line first. And that for me is the main reason why Memoir '44 is such a great game, because your defeats aren’t overwhelming.
Not an expert, but I think you count the hits first and the retreats afterwards. Which means you played right by counting the hit 
Just a suggestion, if you think your posts are running a little long you can always post multiple times with some criteria that makes sense (e.g. one topic/post per scenario). But I see you were telling a story here, so hey, I enjoyed it!
