Overview:

In the early morning hours of a gray day, the 761st Tank Battalion faced the enemy in combat for the first time. The whole Third Army was going over to the attack and the initial objective assigned to the untested Black Panthers was the capture of a small, unimportant village. In support of elements of the 104th Infantry Regiment, the 761st rolled through the cold sleet toward their goal. But when the preparatory artillery fire had eased, the enemy -- far from surrendering as everyone had hoped -- fired back.
Attacker: American (1st Battalion, 104th Infantry Regiment and Company A, 761st Tank Battalion)

2025-11-23(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM American winI got the G.I.s in this classic early ASL scenario. It's big, long and simple. The only wrinkles are a pre-game bombardment and SSR 3 which means you can't risk your "Easy Eights" at 1-2 hex PF range. The danger here is running out of GO MMC before you get to the center of the village. Jim's MMC in building O4 refused to break and M3 was out of reach. I had to risk an M4 at PB range, but I finally drove the German 9-1 and 467s out of O6 for the win. It was close! Jim: I used the 81* MTR to threaten the Shermans with Shock/Recall, but it actually did better against MMC, killing several. The GI's have so much time, it's hard to keep them at bay. Vic's advance came through the graveyard and ground on relentlessly until he had five buildings. Then the decisive fight was for building 12O6 for the last four turns. Good game, but a real marathon!
