Overview:

On the second day of Operation Wacht Am Rheine, Kampgruppe Peiper had cleared Honsfield of American troops. After this, being low on fuel, Peiper decided to attempt to refuel at the American pumping facility at Bullingen, which fell after a small skirmish south of the town. Peiper had his vehicles’ fuel tanks filled with some of the 50,000 gallons of fuel they seized. After this, he sent small reconnaissance probes to the north. One of the reconnaissance probes was led by Werner Sternebeck, and was comprised of four Mark IV tanks accompanied by SS-Panzergrenadiers. They dueled with Tank Destroyers of the 644th Tank Destroyer Battalion and their supporting infantry of the 2nd Infantry Division not too far north of Bullingen.
Attacker: German (SS) (Lead elements of Kampfgruppe Peiper, SS-Panzer Division 1. "Leibstandarte")

2023-03-04(A) Ian Morris vs Paul Legg American win8 morale troops can’t rally or pass a morale check 9 times out of 10. Close game, almost had it in the last turn.
2023-03-04(D) Simon Staniforth vs Richard Webb American winFeels a lot to do for the German player, I had manned the rear most 3 buildings with 4 squads, 9-1, both MMGs along with both M10s and the mortar nearby. The PzIVs got picked off so the CVP rose quite quickly and my opponent called it T4. Both M10s were still in the game and looking likely to take out a couple of HTs which would have seen the CVP cap breached. 4 broken squads also that turn as he took risks to move up didn’t help.
2023-03-04(A) Richard Webb vs Simon Staniforth American winNot my finest game. Simon positioned his tanks exceptionally well, and soon I had burning tanks littering the field. There's a long way to go, and whilst the final buildings look hard to hold if attacked, I couldn't get close enough to them. Had to take some risky moves to try and 'schrek his TD, but despite good smoke and vsg, was to little to late and failed my personal MC and conceded.
2023-03-04(D) Andy Bagley vs David BlackwoodA American winSecond playing of this scenario, which I rate as pro-American but still good fun. My approach as the defender was to pull back as many troops as I could from the front line to defend that last two-hex building at the back. The M10's were also positioned well back, and this generally worked OK, taking out a couple of PzkwIV's before the first of them was knocked out. Even so, the Germans got close, and made a predictable all-out charge for the last building on the final turn, but were just stopped short.
