Overview:

Abilene Bidding System scenario - American bids for other forces (tanks and armor leaders). As the Allies approached the German border, enemy resistance increased. In one town near Strasbourg, the Americans captured one of the last remaining supply lines of the retreating Wehrmacht. The Germans promptly counterattacked, starting a firefight which lasted through the night. As word of the heavily armed relief force reached battalion HQ, the Americans too rounded up a scratch force to throw into the fray. Neither side found itself ready for the sudden role of attacker thrust upon each other. The ensuing fight would be a precursor of much of the fighting soon to take place within the borders of the Reich.

Defender: American (Kampfgruppe Hassler and reinforcements)
