Overview:

On the second day of Operation Wacht Am Rheine, Kampgruppe Peiper had cleared Honsfield of American troops. After this, being low on fuel, Peiper decided to attempt to refuel at the American pumping facility at Bullingen, which fell after a small skirmish south of the town. Peiper had his vehicles’ fuel tanks filled with some of the 50,000 gallons of fuel they seized. After this, he sent small reconnaissance probes to the north. One of the reconnaissance probes was led by Werner Sternebeck, and was comprised of four Mark IV tanks accompanied by SS-Panzergrenadiers. They dueled with Tank Destroyers of the 644th Tank Destroyer Battalion and their supporting infantry of the 2nd Infantry Division not too far north of Bullingen.

2023-05-01(A) Simon Staniforth vs DB American winA fair bit of ground for the Germans to cover in just 6 turns. I pushed quite hard losing mainly armoured Units regularly along the way, particularly once the HIP M10 popped up. Highlight of the game was subsequently taking it out with a CH from a captured BAZ. By the final turn I was able to mount an assault on the final two rear most buildings and even get into CC having risked my two remaining AFVs to freeze but without enough strength to carry the day. Closer than I thought it would be after the initial couple of turns
2023-04-21(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd American winThe SS had a good push but lost three tanks to BAZs (one immobilized in a bad spot). So, the SS had to cover some open ground in the last turn to capture the last buildings. To make matters worst and US 1/2 squad routed forward, rallied and took back one of the forward buildings with no SS left to run back and take it. A wounded SS leader and 1/2 squad failed to rally three times to prevent that. Great game, would like to try the attack.
2023-04-12(D) Richard Jenulis vs Joe Celebuski American win2023 Chicago Open (round three).
2023-04-08(A) Craig Renier vs Jim Waterhouse American winTight game that came down to the last roll of the last phase of the last turn. The Germans struck the American right flank with a tiny force on the left. Making a cautious advance, the Germans swept likely bazooka sites with the infantry prior to advancing the armor. American defensive fire was ineffective with the Germans passing the few MCs. The SS troops pressed the attack using armor smoke to cover their approach. Stumbling into a bore sighted hexes cost the Germans a few half squads, but the attack progressed. But the initial advance was too slow. The Germans were forced to take more chances, advancing into a number of CC attacks. The American Tank Destroyers were completely ineffective, getting few hits and only immobilized one Panzer, while the Panzer destroyed both Tank Destroyers. On the final turn, the Germans needed to gain control of 3 more buildings, each occupied by a squad, one broken. In PFPh, one of the MMCs was broken. The Germans were able to place smoke to cover the final advance. 3 German squads and a 9-1 leader maneuvered adjacent. The Americans gained ambush and rolled enough to CR one German squad. The Germans attacked back at 3-2, but were only able to CR the American squad, leaving the final building in American control.
