Overview:

Colonel Reuben Tucker personally appealed to General Gavin to allow his 504th Regiment to attack Cheneux. Friendly civilians had reported a large column of German vehicles, including tanks, encamped there. Normally an American infantry regiment would request a battalion of armor for support before making such an assault, but Colonel Tucker had an ace up his sleeve. His men had recently captured a whole truckload of panzerfausts, had practiced with them, and now were ready to use them on the enemy. Combined with the early arrival of the latest model of bazooka, Tucker figured his force was strong enough to carry out the assault alone.

Turn four saw the STuG flamed the stunned GMC on the first shot and the Germans counterattacking on both flanks.

Final shot by me blew up his STuG, which induced a sniper attack that recalled my GMC. Ha!


Great fun
2021-01-08(D) Dave Mareske vs Scott Mullins German (SS) winThe German defense took away the center of the board making any American pay for coming that way and getting some lucking rolls on the flanking attacks. The American 9-2 BH and went heroic, but the other 10-2 rolled a 12 and died on a MC. With lots of broken Americans all over in Turn 4, Scott called the game in favor of the Germans. During the German turns I moved so as to give the Americans very few shots so they were never able to bring their MMGs to bear against the German positions. Always fun to play Scott.
2020-11-13(A) Chris Anthony vs Nick Farnya American winA well played game. The Americans were able to flank the German positions on the east (right) side of the map and rush the woods around the victory location with some well timed Heroes (three) jumping into action. The three German squads in the east were overwhelmed at the very end after watching the rest of the Germans put up a stiff defense in the middle of the village, denying the Americans in the center.
