Overview:

The 2nd SS-Panzer Regiment, after a harrowing cross-country march through the heartland of the Maquis, assembled with the rest of the division south of Saint Lo to meet the American threat. Having lost two tanks in the sharp fighting of the past two weeks, SS-Unterscharfuehrer Ernst Barkmann set out at dawn in his refurbished Panther to rejoin his company. But coming out of the village of le Lorey, he encountered infantry and rear-area troops running in the opposite direction shouting that the Americans had broken through along the main road from St. Lo and were right behind. Rallying a small group of infantry to give him cover and appropriating an AT gun and crew from the withdrawal, Barkmann went to battle stations.
Attacker: American (137th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry division and 737th Tank Battalion)

2022-12-27(D) Camille Garek vs Florian Yvis German (SS) winExtreme bocage. Not a lot of options.
2019-07-09(D) C. Scott Kippen vs Neil Gowen German (SS) win
2019-05-24(D) Tom Kearney vs Alan Saltzman German (SS) winMy Germans established what I thought was going to be a devastating ambush. Unfortunately my shooting was abysmal when I sprung the ambush. Never the less I managed to cause some casualties but, more importantly, delayed the bulk of the US infantry. The fighter bombers arrived and immediately killed the Panther. The US needed to exit 46 points but fell a few points short. Very tight game!
2019-05-04(A) Tom Kearney vs Lindsey Murillo American winThe initial German ambush caused many casualties. The US continued to drive and suffered more. The tide turned when an aircraft destroyed the Panther. The US needed 48 EVP and squeezed out 51. Very close!
2014-12-18(A) Ian Morris vs Gerard Burton German (SS) winSlaughter.
