WWII Tank War

Jim's Germans v. Chris' US
Encounter battle using house rules & 15mm figures.

Pics are from behind the Germans.  Their infnatry are on foot so being left behind by the rapid advance of Pak 40's down the road & armour on their right.
The US are advancing in two groups.  Armoured infatry & M10s on the ridge & armoured innfatry, Shermans & Honeys on the other flank.
The Germans are deploying their paks to cover their lefr flank & concreting their armour on the right.
The Armour have come within range of each other.  The Germans have lost a MkIV, but the paks & Panthers are taken out 2 Shermans & 2 M10's. 
The US armour has struck back, taking out the Mk IVs, but the Panthers have in turn destroyed all the US armour.  The US infantry on the ridge on the right have been pinned down by artillery fire & the other platoon has lost the race for the village.  
The US infantry on the ridge have failed morale & are withdrawing under a baraage of artillery, tank mgs & infantry fire & with that the US fail army morale.  It is  decisive German victory.
