Overview:

The original German opening for the Battle of the Bulge was somewhat subdued. German infantry, with little armor support, was to seize key road junctions early so the armored formations could quickly pass through and exploit a breakthrough. One such place was the town of Buchholz, which sat alongside an abandoned railroad. It was held by a company of American infantry who were lined up for chow outside the town when a company of the German 27th Fusilier Regiment came down the road. Neither side expected to find the other here, and there was a dramatic moment of mutual surprise as both sides scrambled to deploy.
Attacker: German (Advance Company of Fusilier Regiment 27, 12th Volksgrenadier Division)
Defender: American (Company L, 3rd Battalion, 349th Infantry Regiment, 99th Infantry Division)

2021-01-02(A) O Ramaille vs German winGreat classical scenario with a mix of elite engineers and unskilled German infantry leaded by good leaders attacking unorganized GIs. Seeing the first Germans, the GIs deploy but the good leaders were stucked in town. Both troops exchanged fire but the Germans were more accurate and held better ground. Nonetheless, American MGs helped several German units to melt away. The halftrack was surrounding some Landsers when a MG shot destroyed it. The appearance of Guthmann, a German hero, tip the balance in their favour. routing alone a US squad and its leader. A MG nest with the best GI leader surrendered just afterwards. The lower morale of the GIs did not help them to stand fire against the Germans. A German victory with 19 CVP (8 CVP for the US). A scenario of fire and movement.
