Overview:

After a tough struggle, Kampfgruppe Muller from SS-Panzer-Division 12 "Hitlerjugend" pushed aside American infantry from the inexperienced 99th Division. The American strategy was to delay the German advance long enough to prepare a solid defense at Elsenborn Ridge. To this end, the veteran doughboys from the 2nd Infantry Division deployed along the Schwarzenbruch Trail, supported by Shermans. The lead elements of the kampfgruppe commanded by former Hitler aide SS-Obersturmbannführer Richard Schulze-Kossens ws again called upon to make a breakthrough. His SS Panzergrenadiers, supported by assault guns, crossed Jansbach Creek and struck the American infantry along the woodline.
Attacker: German (SS) (Bataillon II, SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25 and Kompanie 1, SS-Panzerjäger-Abteilung 12, SS-Panzer-Division 12)
Defender: American (Company I, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division and 3rd Platoon, Company C, 741st Tank Battalion)

2024-11-04(A) Alex Ashton vs Martin Barker American winAn excellent scenario that could have gone either way.
I advanced too slowly at the start so that by the end of turn 3 we thought I had no chance of meeting the victory conditions.
On turn 4 my luck changed as I was able to shatter Martin’s front line and make significant progress.
Martin trapped two of my squads in melee with a half squad for three turns. This proved significant at the end as they were not in the most advantageous position going into the end games.

At the start of turn 6 I had 7.5 squads in range of the victory hexes however I had to cx across open ground. Martin rolled a 2, a 3 and a 2 on the IFT that KIAed 3 squads and put pay to any chance I had of victory.
Finished with 2 out of the 5 victory hexes I needed to win.

This is an excellent scenario that I would highly recommend.
