Overview:

As the German offensive crashed upon and beyond Consthum, what was left of the defending 3rd Battalion, 110th Infantry Regiment received orders to save itself and retreat to Wiltz before it was hopelessly cut off. After crossing the Clerve River at Kautenbach, the Americans encountered elements of the 5th Fallschirmjager Division that had infiltrated the area, and appeared to be everywhere. The lead column found itself squeezed on two sides -- a flanking platoon ahead, between them and Wiltz, and a pursuing company approaching rapidly from the east.

2023-01-05(A) Andy Bagley vs Mike Grogan American winI really like this scenario; it's an unusual situation and demands accurate play from both sides. Victory depends on whether the Americans can get enough forces near their exit area to overwhelm the small German force that enters from the south, before other German troops get across to help out.
One option for the Germans is to reach 39G7 with two MMGs and an 8-1 leader on turn 2. It's extreme range but they can then fire at American units trying to move east of the village on board 17. In our game, the Germans didn't try this but opted instead for attacking from the north towards the village, but here they were held back by a relatively small American force. Meantime, most of the Americans managed to reach the woods close to their exit point (with the 10-2 leader and a 667 squad hitching a ride on the M5 tank), and the small German force trying to stop them was heavily outgunned. Germans conceded on their turn 6 when a broken leader there fail to rally, as the Americans, with both vehicles intact, had more than enough exit VPs available to win.
