Overview:

As part of the assault on Metz, the 10th Armored Division was ordered to execute a flank attack around the north side of the fortified area. Racing east past Thionville, the division turned south to complete the encirclement of Metz. The next objective became Bouzonville, across the Nied River. Finding the bridges there blown, Task Force Chamberlain found one intact at Filistrof, to the west of Bouzonville, and promptly attacked. With recon elements in the lead, the task force quickly brushed aside a weak infantry screen north of the river. The bridge itself was taken easily, but once across the river the U.S. troops ran into more Germans in better positions.
Attacker: American (Troop A, 90th Cavalry Recon Squadron, 10th Armored Division and 54th Armored Infantry Battalion)

2022-03-07(D) Andy Beaton vs Eoin Corrigan American winGermans just couldn't manage to slow down the Americans enough. Skilful American smoke use got the US over the river in force and in a good position before the German reinforcements even arrived.

2021-10-27(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winThe Germans took down the armored cars and one tank and a half-squad as the Americans tried to take out the Germans north of the river. Eventually, the Americans captured the entire northern force. The Americans managed to cross the river and get the buildings under the support of the 50 CALS on the hill. The German counter-attack was broken up by the 50 CALS, but the German tank took out a half-track and broke three squads of Americans. It was over by Turn 7...but a very narrow American victory.
