Overview:

The most appealing objectives in the Wesel bridgehead were two still-intact bridges, which offered the promise of a dry crossing of the Rhine by Allied forces. Because the Americans had encountered so little resistance in the days after Operation GRENADE, orders were given to push northeast into the bridgehead to gain control of the bridges. Units of the 320th Infantry Regiment, with support from 8th Armored Division’s Combat Command B, moved out. Assuming a village in the vicinity of Rheinberg was held by friendly forces, tanks of Combat Command B moved in. Too late it was realized that the village was in German control.
Attacker: German (Infanterie-Division 190 and Fallschirmjäger-Division 7)
Defender: American (Combat Command B, 8th Armored Division and 320th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division)

2024-06-27(A) Andy Beaton vs Brian Wiersma American winGermans failed to get any tanks in the initial ambush, after which the Americans methodically chewed up the Germans. The survivors conceded on turn 4.
2023-03-05(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM American winSetting up the tank ambush is the key. I only burned two. The rest sped out of PF range and set up to pound occupied buildings as the US infantry methodically took the village. Despite losing another M4 to a lucky LR PF shot and having one recalled for breaking all its armament, the attack never faltered. Jim: Both players face interesting tactical problems. This one is more balanced than it initially appears.
2023-03-02(D) Paul Legg vs Craig Benn German win
2023-02-03(D) Jim Bishop vs Chip Wertenberger American winThis is an interesting scenario. The initial German attack against the American tanks is key for the Germans. Every tank that survives is worth 2 VC buildings in the end game if properly positioned. With even average luck, the Americans can lose everything. This makes the Infantry attack on the village very difficult.

In my game with Chip, I salvaged three tanks. With S5/WP7/Sm8, the American AFVs offer a lot of smoke to cover the Infantry's advance. The key for the Americans is marrying their AFV with the Infantry and then a combined arms assault on the village. Three AFV's made this pretty easy. I was at 14 Locations +3 AFVs when Chip conceded on his last turn. He played it well, but that many American tanks surviving made it a real chore for him.
2023-01-31(A) Andy Bagley vs Neil Brunger German winNot a fan of this scenario. The start is very dicey, mostly luck determining how many American tanks will survive the initial PF onslaught. In our game three did (mainly by successfully driving through buildings), but even then the Americans had a tough time approaching the village, and only managed to grab a few buildings on the outskirts by the time they conceded on turn 5. After the game, my opponent suggested he could have placed his tanks around the church so that their burning wrecks would hinder LOS/LOF from the steeple (where the German HMG will inevitably be)! Even then though, the Germans will have plenty of opportunities to his the Americans in open ground - and their infantry outnumbers the American infantry anyway.
