WWII: Reprise of Attack/Defend scenario

We did yesterday's scenario again with more players.
US: Mark & Mitch.
Germans: Jim & Chris.

As the US players were not present yesterday the germans used the same hidden deployment.
But this time the US deployed their entire force on their left flank.
2 Honey's were popped by Pak ambushes before 3 of the 4 Paks were knocked out.  The germans are re-deploying one infnatry platoon from the left to the centre.  They have also moved their Panzers to teh right where they are engaging the motorised infantry coming round the german right flank.
The Sherman troop has deployed hull down on the far escarpment to engage the MkIVs.
The US motorised infantry are advancing on the Germans right flank platoon. front & flank.
The tabk duel is so far indecisive but the German right flank platoon has been destroyed by a converging attack.
The US infantry is now attacking the germasn platoon in the church yard. 
The 2 surviving M10's & the 2 surviving Honeys have moved up to support the Shermans while 3 Shermans advance.   After several turns of indecisive between the Shermans & MkIVs, a flurry of sixes from the Honeys & a Bazooka turn the tide & the suddenly MkIV platoon is broken. 
With their supporting armour gone, the remaining German infantry have no chance againsy overwheming numbers & the germans concede.
 Better US strategy & a German mistake provided a much different result than yesterday. The Germans should have advanced their Panzers past the wood to close the range on the Shermans & knocked them out before the M10's & Honeys arrived.
