Overview:

Lunéville was a medium sized town on the route of movement to complete the encirclement. The 2nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (known as “Patton’s Ghosts”) reached Lunéville on 15 September and 1st and 2nd Platoons of C Troop, 42nd Mechanized Reconnaissance Cavalry Battalion were sent, with great optimism, to take the city by a ‘coup de main’.

2020-10-22(D) O Ramaille vs Lionel Colin American winVery nice play with the designer. The Germans were first pushed back from the factories. But then they resisted a while the American assault, despite M8 armored cars infiltrating evrywhere. The hidden panzerschreck crew missed a full speed Jeep. But the 75L AT gun destroyed two M8s. Eventually, the Americans succeeded in controlling 6 multihex buildings and exiting two M8 ACs. In the last turn, the Germans failed to get back the captured buildings. A nervous scenario with lots of possibilities and decisions to make.

2018-03-21(A) Gordon Jupp vs Nick Holmshaw German winTo and fro game but injudicious use of jeeps and their loss led to it being no contest on the last turn with the Germans holding on to enough buildings easily.
