Overview:

Among German reinforcements torn from the British front to oppose the American bridgehead over the Vire River was the redoubtable Panzer-Lehr Division. While preparing their own attack, the American 9th Division picked up radio signals from Lehr, but dismissed them a ruse to cover a German withdrawal. But Fritz Bayerlein was not bluffing. Pre-empting the Americans, Panzer-Lehr struck at dawn on 11 July, with its two Panzergrenadier regiments leasing a two-pronged assault. But the prongs were too far apart to offer mutual assistance. As American force gathered around Abteilung 1 of Panzergrenadier-Regiment 901, Hauptmann Philipps found his unit slowed, stopped, and then forced to bring forward its heavy guns in an effort to escape encirclement.

2013-12-11(D) X von Marwitz vs Daniel Takai American winROAR rates this strongly pro US. And I think this is right. So we added the German balance of one extra Pz V. I expected the German attack through the P8/P9 buildings and the field enclosing 54N3/N4. I set up in 55p8/P9 to delay and rather strongly in the 54P4 and 54P6 fields as well. Bazookas were placed as to threaten the roads to scare off some half-track audacity. In the German movement phase of turn 3, I managed to despatch two of the Pz Vs - one was pointing the rear adacent to a bazooka, the other one turned the side target facing to my 57L. With a lucky shot I managed to stop 9-2 King Kong + 8-3-8 in the 54N3 field. So at the end of German T3, the US would have been pushed out the 55P8/P9 buildings at teh price of one sacrificial 5-4-6 with the rest retreated GO to the 55R9 field and the German advance through the 54N4 field stopped. At that point, the German conceded.
2013-08-07(D) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites American winUS MLR is holding, but Panthers are on the map and beginning to growl.
