Overview:

By midday of 23 December, Kampfgruppe von Böhm had reached Buissonville and by nightfall was just outside Achêne, only 20 kilometres from the Meuse at Dinant. Montgomery was given command of Allied ground forces in the northern sector of the bulge, had begun deploying British forces to support the American defenses and the under strength 3rd Royal Tank Regiment was now at Dinant. During the night 23-24 December, patrols scouted out the positions of Kampfgruppe von Böhm and shellfire began rain down around Foy-Notre-Dame. Sherman Fireflies with high-velocity 17-pounder guns took a toll on the Panthers on Christmas Eve blocking von Böhm’s planned attack towards Anseremme, just south of Dinant. For Kampfgruppe von Böhm things turned from bad to worst as low on fuel and ammunition and now cut off with no realistic chance of resupply, the Allies struck.
Attacker: American/British (82nd Armored Recon Battalion, 2nd Armored Division | British 3rd Royal Tank Regiment)

2022-07-07(D) Kevin Sanders vs Jason Littleton German winGermans managed to get the VPs required to win...prob in trouble if a couple more turns would have happened. FB scored hits and killed a AC. Malf Panther, lots of Tank vs Tank action etc...
2016-04-20(D) Davide Bendazzi vs Roberto Alesse German winLot of tank action! As the Germans beware the American FBs... need to use the Flakpanzer in AA mode but the nastier things are these lil Stuarts.... reached 77 CVP cap at turn four - Americans have lot of firepower and lot of time but rushing may be counterproductive
