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)

2025-05-08(A) Tripp Killin vs Phil Watkins German winAmerican's didn't have smoke or HEAT on any tanks. .50cals dominated from the hill on the north side, but the Turn 4 movement phase to get more forces across the river and into position was shot to hell by German HMG. It shot 3 times in Defensive Fire, K/2 on the .50cals, and 5 times in Prep of German Turn 4, stunning/pinning two Greyhounds.
Germans parked the PzIII on the road leading from the bridge and there was no way to move it.
Cool scenario, I would play again and hope for less vicious dice.
2024-06-30(D) Ric Hammond vs John Leman German win
2023-12-20(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalD German winAmericans pushed hard but had more than enough buildings to win for the heavy loses. Rally phase CR DR put them over the CVP limit ... very close & fun.
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.
2021-10-28(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins American win
