Other elements of the column were diverted to the right around the town.Attacker: American (C Company, 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion with A Troop, 89th Cavalry Recon Squadron, 19th Tank Battalion and 656th Tank Destroyer Battalion, 9th Armored Division)

| 2026-10-10 | (A) Eric Partizan Eric | vs | Douglas Leslie | German win (VASL Log) | Doug found a flaw in this scenario by withdrawing and leaving the map without the US could trap a MMC for interrogation. A very smart analysis and move. Maybe this scenario is broken. | ||
| 2026-10-09 | (A) Paul Legg | vs | Gregg Patrick | German win (VASL Log) | Friday Night Fight Came down a last turn close combat with my Americans needing a 7 or less on a 2-1 with -1 leader mod, rolled 9. That attached log file starts mid way through the German Prep Fire. | ||

| 2024-01-04 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Johan Vrijdaghs | German win | This is a great little scenario that deserves more playings. Challenging for both sides: the Americans must get their AFVs into the village to force the Germans out, but cannot afford too may losses, the Germans are facing overwhelming American firepower and can easily find themselves surrounded. In the end there were only a handful of German units left but the Americans just hit their CVP cap. |
