Overview:

By the afternoon of the 21st, Col. Tucker had ordered the 3rd Battalion of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment to assist the 1st Battalion in its attempt to capture Cheneux and the bridge over the Ambleve. Company G entered the western end of the battle-torn village to relieve the exhausted remnants of B and C Companies, while Companies H and I made a wide flanking movement along the high ground to the south of Cheneux, then turned to push north through Monceau to lever the Germans away from the bridge.

2023-11-26(D) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German (SS) winTough game for me as my friend's dice were blisteringly hot. His average roll had to be 5 - or less! Mine, on the other hand, probably was around a 9. Regardless, after MANY PMC's, I got a narrow win as the Germans.

I split my forces up with a HS picket line in the village with the bulk of my forces in the stream near the bridge. My picket line was smashed in two turns (I had hoped to slowly fall back with them) with only one full squad left to run around to cause a bit of mischief with the rear buildings. The forces in the stream had a massive amount of FP, but I usually only mustered up 1MC's at best. A couple of timely rolls later in the game made getting to the bridge a suicide mission - but my friend tried. Too much resid in open ground ended any chance of taking it with one turn left.
