I really like the no ZoC and hidden elements to the game. However, bypassed US units being used to go deep into the German rear areas seems a bit much. It just doesn't seem like a battalion (usually much reduced in initial fighting) would be so enterprising once cut off to travel 5-10 km into the German rear areas to hold a crossroad or capture an important town (VP location).
The solution seems to require maybe more rear area security units closer to the front, still fixed but better able to control this issue…or does the German player just have to leave some units back?

Those units should die of lack of supply or become severely weakened pretty soon, and won't be able to move. Yes, some rear area security is necessary. You can create road block units by card play, or small kampfgruppes.

Very good points. I've had to do a bit of a "wack a mole" behavior myself to eliminate these pesky units, but as gwgardner says, they aren't very effective. However, I only play vs. AI, so not sure if a human player would "take advantage" of that kind of thing.
