Overview:

By Christmas Eve, PanzerArmee 5’s attack had lost steam. Christmas morning dawned clear and bright, and ensuing Allied air activity restricted German ability to reinforce units that had made the deepest penetrations toward the Meuse River. Panzer-Division 2 in particular had been engaged for several days with its American counterpart, the 2nd Armored Division, under command of General Ernst Harmon. British XXX Corps was also reinforcing the Americans with a flanking maneuver near Dinant in an effort to cut the narrow corridor made by the Panzers. Four miles from the Meuse, at the peaceful farming village of Foy-Notre-Dame, the reconnaissance battalion of Panzer-Division 2 attempted to escape and ran into advancing elements of 2nd Armored Division attempting to clear the area.
Attacker: American (82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Armored Division)

2024-07-04(A) Daniel Soukup vs Patrick German winGreat scenario. I nearly failed my personal morale check after nearly all AFV, halftracks and vehicles were destroyed after 2 turns, but the game came down to the wire. Americans could have won if I played the turn 5 MPh better. Would definitely like to play again.
2024-03-19(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs O American win
2024-03-15(A) John Garlic vs Larry Rohlfing American win
2024-03-15(D) Larry Rohlfing vs John Garlic American win
2024-03-02(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier American winSecond playing, reversed sides, The Americans were able to roll up on the German forward positions with some well placed WP. Turn 2 offered a gap in the defense to get into the village by turn 3 and the taking of two stone buildings. After the German JgPz malf'ed its MA we just talked through the ending, with the Americans taking the victory.
