15mm Mech War

Mike Shevak is in town & eger for a game.  Mark umpired Mike's US v. Jim's Germans,
Figures: 15mm
Rules: House Mech War rules.
US: 2 x5 Shermans, 4 M10's, 2 Honeys, 3 infantry platoons, each with 2 half tracks & 6 squads of inf, 4 gun 105 battery off table.  All Regular Trained.
Germans: 2 Tigers, 5 MkIV, 5 Stug, 3 infantry platoons, each with 2 half tracks & 6 squads of inf, 4 heavy mortars, 2 Pak 40.  All Fearless Veterans.

Both forces were divided in two.  The US started in the two corners on the window side, the Germans in the two corners on the RHS of shot. 

On this end of the table, the US had 9 tanks to 5 & advanced directly towards the Stugs.  The Stugs waited on the plateau out of sight as their infantry support drove down the road on their left.

On the far end of the table the US deplyed an infantry platoon in the field on the cornfield to delay the Germans on that flank while their armour rushed towards the other flank.  The Germans are moving their Mk IVs to wards the other flank while deploying to attack the US flank guard. 

On the near flank the armour is engaged at point blank range as German infantry move onto the US flank.  The panzerfausts of the infatry support have so far helped the Stugs hold their own.

In the tank melee, 2 more US tanks have gone up for no further gain by the US.
On the far flank, the Tigers have casually picked off the half tracks as Hitler's buzz saws wipe out half the GIs in the field for only 1 squad loss of their own.
At this stage to US commander's morale cracked & he ordered a retreat.
