Overview:
(Rev. 11/23, Adapted from the movie Fury 2014) The war in Europe was nearing its end as elements of the U.S. 2nd Armored Division finds itself mopping up scattered German resistance. One of these German pockets controls a wood line just outside of the village of Hecklingen. The unexpected resistance results in the loss of two Shermans and their accompanying infantry are pinned down in an open field and exposed to German machinegun and anti-tank fire. Without hesitation, the 2nd Armored launches a counterattack to rescue the pinned GI's and eliminate the German resistance. A platoon of Shermans and a company of infantry make the attack led by a Staff Sergeant known to his men as “War Daddy”.Attacker: American (66th Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Division)

| 2023-11-22 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | First official playing of the scenario, which helped tweek the design and make the necessary improvements. I designed this one back in 2014 and 9 years later, I feel that I have a better grasp of scenario design. This game came down to a final close combat. Dan's Germans took out all four Shermans and held my infantry at bay for most of the game. My final desperate movement into Close Combat resulted in many broken squads and I would lose by Close Combats and of course the game. Dan and I updated the German AT Guns to include a 75L and added some updated SSR information. The new scenario card has been added to show a much improved scenario. My thanks to Dan for giving this one a good shake down. |
