Overview:

The 116th Panzer Division was moving to Marche to gain access to the roads leading to the Meuse. Once obstacle stood in the way -- the Ourthe river. General von Waldenburg sent a kampfgruppe of four Panther tanks and some panzergrenadiers to seize the vital crossing. An ad hoc American force of engineers, anti-aircraft guns and a tank undergoing repair stood in the way.
Attacker: German (116th Panzer Division)
Defender: American (1st Platoon, A Company, 51st Engineer Combat Battalion and 440th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion, 23rd Armored Engineers, and 3rd Armored Division)

2022-04-08(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba German winThe American troops and AFV were wiped off the map before the end of the scenario... I certainly missed something...
2022-04-08(A) Doba Serge vs Pascal B. German win
2022-03-12(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best American winThe Americans took a beating in their HMG nests, but were able to get some side shots on the Panthers, eliminating two and immobilizing the other two, keeping the Germans from getting behind the American positions. Some good fire on both sides kept the infantry broken and the German HMG did not do much of anything. Good tight game. Would play again.
