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")
Defender: American (Elements 2nd Infantry Division and 644th Tank Destroyer Battalion)

2022-05-13(D) Andy Goldin vs Stephen Worrel German (SS) winA well-balanced scenario. Our game came down to the last turn, with the Germans defeating my defending Americans in two CCs, winning him the game. I malf'd the MA of both my M10s doing essential intensive fire shots and later got one recalled while both my BAZ teams were out of action. I managed to hang on only due to some hot dice. Setup restrictions and the location of victory hexes compel the defender to split his force into thirds. Against that setup, the German need only defeat the Americans in detail before the clock runs out. Although they don't seem impressive, the German halftracks gave Stephen some good mobility to get behind the American line and force elimination due to failure to route. I didn't have all that much fun as the defender, as I watched my guys get chopped up while waiting for the clock to run out. A better approach for the American might be to use the first turn to run back to the last set of buildings and make that your redoubt. With sufficient forces the German won't be able to get behind you and you'll have a decent field of fire. Overall a nicely done scenario but I didn't really have all that much fun playing it.
