A late war game that sees large American forces arriving to attack and destroy two factory units. These are held by average German forces but with little armour.
A very inexperienced German 'bucket brigade' force will arrive to try and give support.
The Americans have 8 turns to triumph, 2 turns have gone and it looks like it's going to be a close call.
Night 1 (09/01/18)
Set up was tactical, each side deploying a unit at a time, no surprises. 2 game turns played and it's starting to hot up with the Americans starting to probe towards main town road in force with strong armour.
The Germans have taken a few casualties but nothing major apart from the Hanomag with the Support weapons for the reinforces.
Night 2 (16/01/18)
Another 2 turns played : The Americans ripped into the Germans causing heavy casualties. 2 PZiv's destroyed and various infantry units wiped out. It all looked good for the Americans but late in turn 4 the Germans rallied and hit back knocking 3 Sherman's out.
All told it is hanging in the balance, the 'green' German reinforcements are struggling to get up and support the front line units and have suffered heavy losses and pins to the one unit that looked like it would arrive. the recon squad on bikes has been obliterated. On the German left, just 1 section left holding the factory (Elite Fallschjager).
All to play for next week !
Night 3 (23/01/18)
Well we got 2 more turns in and it was just to much for the Germans as the Americans overran them ; We called it a wrap and an American victory. a few photos from the last night loaded up
