Overview:

During the German Ardennes offensive, Colonel Peiper’s kampfgruppe from the 1st SS Panzer Division had quick victories which had taken them close to the Meuse River bridges but they had completely run out of fuel. The remaining assault elements of the SS Panzer Division launched an attack to reach Peiper’s stalled kampfgruppe. The main German thrust came at a point south of Trois Ponts on the Salm River. There, a company of the 82nd Airborne Division had established a small bridgehead on the cliffs across the river.
Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 2, SS-Panzer-Division 1 "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler")
Defender: American (Company E, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)

2021-10-23(D) Michael Rodgers vs Peter Rogneholt American winGermans lost one leader early and a second one mid-game before entering the large woods near the exit area. Americans had fallen back okay, losing only 1.5 squads. Germans conceded.
