Overview:

As the German offensive crashed upon and beyond Consthum, what was left of the defending 3rd Battalion, 110th Infantry Regiment received orders to save itself and retreat to Wiltz before it was hopelessly cut off. After crossing the Clerve River at Kautenbach, the Americans encountered elements of the 5th Fallschirmjäger Division that had infiltrated the area, and appeared to be everywhere. The lead column found itself squeezed on two sides -- a flanking platoon ahead, between them and Wiltz, and a pursuing company approaching rapidly from the east.

2025-09-06(D) S. Slunt vs Tim Osborne German winThe German forces had to chase the American to the board edge. Fortunately the German turn 2 reinforcents set up a solid blockig force around the trees at the exit hexes. On the last German turn a cx squad was able to get in to CC with the open topped armoured car - find an ATTM in his back pack and take the vehicle out.. This left the American just a couple points shy of the needed EVP
Good close game as it came now to the last turn.
2023-12-17(D) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winIn this fast-playing meeting action, the GIs try to leave the "meeting." Jim's blocking force took up positions around the P4 building, and LR shots from my pursuing 447s netted me one broken 546 while US return fire broke both 447s in building W3. By GT4, my pursuit was so feeble, blocking the exit with my reinforcements was my only chance of winning. M5 fire broke the 447 with the PSK, two LR PF shots missed and both AFVs exited easily, but when my FJRs closed in around the exit route, LMG and MMG fire whittled down Jim's force. At the end of GT5, he had only a 347 and wounded 9-1 in GO. His GIs rallied well but still fell short. Jim: I got close but my 9-1 and two 666s broke crossing the board 17 E-I orchard then took too long to rally. I needed those six exit VP and got only 22. Good, quick game, very replayable.
