Overview:
After two days of fighting for Ginsterhahn, the 60th Infantry Regiment “The Go Devils” had secured the village. But there would be no respite. In the morning, Oberleutnant Paffrath commanding a kampfgruppe consisting of ten Jagdpanthers and infantry from the 11th Panzer Division’s escort platoon attacked to re-take Ginsterhahn. American artillery damaged four Jagdpanthers and thinned out the German infantry. However, the 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion, supporting the Go Devils, had an even more deadly surprise awaiting the enemy. As the Germans crossed the field north of Ginsterhahn, they were met by a fusillade of 90mm main gun fire from a platoon of M-36 tank destroyers.Attacker: German (Division Begleit Zug, Panzer Division 11 | Kampfguppe Paffrath, Schwere Panzerjager Abtelilung 654)
Defender: American (60th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division and 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion)

| 2025-11-14 | (A) Tripp Killin | vs | David Goldman | A | German win | 3 hrs | A big part of this scenario is the US M36s vs. the JgPz 5s. The M36s need APCR to have a chance against the JgPzs. David didn't get any APCR, despite the Elite SSR. I was able to quickly whittle down the armor and start focusing on the infantry. At that point, things started to get very challenging for the Americans, losing combat assets at no loss to the Germans. The Germans can strike at many buildings and only need one for the win. If the Germans can't win that AFV vs. AFV battle, however, I can't see how they can overcome the American firepower. Fun little, quick scenario. |

| 2015-10-24 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Fermín Retamero | American win | Barcelona Fanatic XVII Round 2 My first JgPz tried to kill a TD only to burn of an APCR round. He also kept a MG on the church tower making my movements difficult. I did the same, though. My attacks were not perfectly timed and he could stop them quite well, including some massive morale failing on my part. At the eleventh hour there was a window of opportunity and I tried to reach for a building, running six squads, with all of them falling the devastating American firepower. |
