Jim's Germans defending v. Chris' US.
Figures: 15mm FOW.
Rules: Our house rules mix of FOW & BA.
The US are coming on the far side of the table with the objective of breaking thru down the road past the church. The US have a numerical advantage of 33% & are entirely motorised, but the Germans are dug in, hidden & in ambush. The German units are placed on a tray with cards face down corresponding the their location. They will be revealed either when they open fire or the enemy come within 12".
The first germans to be revealed are Pak 40's opening up from ambush.
The Paks have taken out 3 AFV,s but have lost 3 themselves. German infantry have opened up with rifle & mg fire on the open topped vehicles & Panzerscrecks at tanks.
A troop of MkIVs have appeared on the ridge on the German left.
The Panzers have lost one to artillery fire, but have destroyed the US right. They have now turned right to assist their right flank. The US infantry had dismounted & asaulted the fence line, a move that coudl ahve turend the battle in their favour, but the Germans beat them off & they are pinned down behind their half tracks. The Shermans have turned right to take on the Panzers.
The US infantry have broken under heavy fire from the German infantry & tank MGs. been The Sherman took out 2 Panzers, but the remaining 2 passed morale & fought back reducing the Sherman platoon to one tank. It passed morale, but as the only surving US team has no choice but to retreat.
The result indicates that the attacker may need a bit more advantage in this scenario than we gave them.
