Overview:

In an effort to determine the strength and location of the Germans before Bastogne, Company I of the 501st Parachute Infantry was ordered into the town of Wardin. Upon reaching the village a roadblock was found, astride the Wardin-Bastogne road. A short firefight ensued, routing the outnumbered German defenders. The paratroopers took possession of the dreary Belgian house and organized a defense. Not long afterwards, the sounds of approaching tank engines grew louder and louder—signaling the arrival of the Panzer Lehr Division. The 130 or so men of Company I were no match for such a force. They fought bravely -- one man knelt with a bazooka in the middle of the street and knocked out the lead tank before return fire cut him down, other men with bazookas accounted for three more – but there were more panzers and too many panzergrenadiers. Captain Wallace gave the order to “Abandon Ship!” He later died leading a small rearguard around the roadblock, keeping an escape route open for his men.
Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier Lehr Regiment 902)
Defender: American (Company I, 3rd Battalion, 501st PIR)

2020-08-04(A) manzoli andrea vs Marco Pasquini German wingreat scenario for German tanks ..freezing and cutting the way back for us troops
2019-03-09(D) Ian Morris vs Mark Blackmore German win
2017-04-27(D) Richard Carter vs Scott Hasson German winThis is a brain burner. As has been said, takes a lot of thought with every move. I should have gone just a tad bit earlier. He got his panther into the victory area. I held the road block. He broke my squad with a long range shot for the win. VP US 4, German 3. (you have to win by 2).
2017-04-07(D) Jeremy Busby vs Mike Rickman American win
2015-04-17(D) Doug McMullen vs German American winExcellent scenario with a deserved reputation for requiring a lot of thought in each move.
