Overview:

Major Arthur C. Parker, withdrawing with remnants of his 598th Artillery Battalion, including only three guns, realized the strategic value of the crossroads he was approaching. The center of the US XVIII Airborne Corps sector would be at risk. With the 2nd SS-Panzer Corps hot on his heels, the Major decided to dig in and make a stand. Bolstered with reinforcements, including A vehicles and several tanks, Parker withstood everything the Germans threw at him. On the afternoon of the 23rd, having held out for three days, Parker braced for yet another attack.

2025-06-11(D) Will Willow vs Randy Shurtz German (SS) winConceded after 7 turns. Mismanaged the Americans from the start.
2022-04-23(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winTough scenario for the Germans. The American OBA hit the brush patch in the center and forced the Germans to go around both sides and into clusters of bore-sighted hexes. The result was awful for the German armor. 2 MKIV's immobilized, 3 MKIV's knocked out, 1 Panther and 1 STUG knocked out. At the end of 3 turns, the Germans conceded as they had lost the juice necessary to wrinkle out the mostly still concealed US Infantry supported by all the half-tracks, a 105 gun , a Stuart and 3 of the Shermans.
