Overview:

Having liberated Eindhoven the previous day, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment moved out to the east toward Helmond. Easy Company led the reconnaissance, riding on Cromwells of the King's Royal Hussars. Three miles east of Eindhoven, after passing through the small town of Nuenen, someone yelled "Kraut tanks!" A massed armored assault by Panzer-Brigade 107 had run directly into the Allied team. As the panzers deployed with infantry behind them, the men of Easy Company took cover in the irrigation ditches crisscrossing the nearby fields while the Cromwells moved into combat.
Attacker: German (Panzer-Brigade 107)
Defender: British / American (15/19 King's Royal Hussars and 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division)

2023-09-17(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winJim drew the Allies and took the balance but was unable to even slow down my double, board-edge envelopment. The Cromwells proved no match for Panthers a JgPz, and LR shooting at my infantry by paratroopers netted only a few broken MMC. By GT5, I had surrounded the village. Neither sniper took a shot, and my average IFT roll was ~5. Jim: I immediately pulled back four squads but left the rest firing at moving Germans for two turns which proved fatal. Bolt for the village on turn 1! One 337 broke the LMOR after two shots and died retreating, the another died trying to get a 2-hex BAZ shot at a Panther. All four rearguard squads were broken and CR'd moving. By the time one Panther disabled its MA the damage was done. It was over after GT6. This one is the Germans to lose. The US balance should raise the number of buildings to 10 or 11. Note: A real US company would have withdrawn from the village as soon as Germans crossed the 63H5-GG5 paved road and threatened to surround them.
2023-06-25(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German winI sent my German infantry and halftracks along the northern edge over the course of two turns to flank the American forces. My tanks went straight towards the British tanks knocking three out by the end of turn 1. My friend made great use of his sM which saved a few tanks early and allowed for the speedy withdrawal of the US forces towards the central village. I pressed my forces steadily forward and slowly kept chipping away at his units. Eventually, my halftracks had swung behind the village, I knocked out the remaining tanks with no losses to mine, and was hitting the village on three sides. Down to five squads with nowhere to run, still plenty of time for the Germans, and practically surrounded, we ended this one early.

Not a very exciting scenario. Seems tough on the Allies since their tanks are basically worthless vs the German tanks, and the Germans have more than enough forces and time to get the job done. Other than my AFV's, I didn't do much shooting. I just kept pushing my men slowly forward and ground his forces down. And just like that, it was over.
