The Americans had an Infantry Company with 105's, Shermans and M10's in support. The US also have P-40 air support. The scenario was Fighting Withdrawal with the US defending. This was an extremely tough battle.
 |
| The battlefield.... |
 |
| US deployment... |
 |
| The German deployment... |
 |
| Kampfgruppe platoon advances... |
 |
| ...and is promptly bombed! |
 |
| German tanks enter the Village of Doom.... |
 |
| The second airstrike knocks out the 88. |
 |
| Panzers attack the hill. |
 |
| Panzers move up the hill and past the Americans on the peak. The objective is within reach! |
 |
| PzII confronted with well dug in infantry. This is going to be tough. |
 |
| PzII platoon cautiously advance on the US infantry, trying to thin out the Bazookas before the attack. |
 | |
| M10 finish off the kampfgruppe platoon. |
 | ||
| PzII continue the flank attack against the US Infantry platoon. |
 |
| Sherman platoon springs their ambush but then forget to move into position. |
 | |
| The Panzer Company Commander is knocked out and too far away to jump to a new tank. |
 |
| The Sherman platoon finally gets moving but failed to knock any of the German tanks. Payback is going to be a bitch... |
 |
| American infantry assault the PzII platoon. |
 |
| And it was.. The Sherman platoon is destroyed but the M10 platoon quickly moves to fill the gap. |
 |
| Panzer attempt to assault into the rough ground at the peak but have two tanks knocked out by the Bazooka teams. |
 |
| The Bazookas finish off one Panzer platoon while the M10s punish the other. The Germans are at break point and with no HQ are forced to withdraw. |

Great Game guys. Fighting Withdrawal is always a nail biter of a game!
Great batrep. As an infantry man myself it's good to see how the tank jockeys do it. And the best thing about a 4-3 win: it's a win.
I've been on the receiving end of a first turn airstrike right on top of my too closely bunched vehicles. Man it sucks!
