Overview:

As part of the assault on Metz, the 10th Armored Division was ordered to execute a flank attack around the north side of the fortified area. Racing east past Thionville, the division turned south to complete the encirclement of Metz. The next objective became Bouzonville, across the Nied River. Finding the bridges there blown, task Force Chamberlain found one intact at Filistrof, to the west of Bouzonville, and promptly attacked. With recon elements in the lead, the task force quickly brushed aside a weak infantry screen north of the river. The bridge itself was taken easily, but once across the river the U.S. troops ran into more Germans in better positions.
Attacker: American (Troop A, 90th Cavalry Recon Squadron, 10th Armored Division/54th Armored Infantry Battalion)
Defender: German (Infanterie Regiment 73, Infanterie Division 416)

2022-12-17(A) Mark Thompson vs Carl Nogueira (Germans) American winThe Americans unmasked and quickly swept aside German forces North of the river with C and MG fire from the Greyhounds and the HMCs successfully placed WP on and in front of the HMG positioned to fire down the bridge. They were able to pour across the bridge in force and move to main hill mass in the center when the HMG malf'd on its second FL shot (and stayed out of the game thereafter). One Greyhound fell to a brave 8-0 CC with ATM, but the other played an outsized role in the cross-roads North of the German reinforcement entry area, mowing down infantry with MGs and (in a wildly improbable turn) taking out the Pzkw III in a ridiculous rate tear. Indeed, DR extremes were the theme of this game, with most in the American's favor, and the Germans conceded on Turn 5 when the Americans were poised to take unimpeded additional buildings in the central and West Hills. Great game and very fun combined arms scenario.
2021-11-01(D) Kevin Sanders vs Jason Littleton German win
2019-10-03(A) Gordon Jupp vs Andy Bagley American winThe Northern defenders were swept aside (their dice were terrible) and some US units braved the firelane to make it across the bridge on T3. When the German HMG went down to concentrated US MG fire the flood gates opened and the US were too strong...
2017-03-11(A) Richard Carter vs Mike Rickman American winI took out his MG firing down the bridge with a CH and was able to destroy most of his onboard force. His reinforcements were not enough to retake lost ground.
2016-11-10(A) Lawrence Spangler vs German win
