Panzer Grenadier Battles on March 28th:
Spearhead Division #15 - Dillenberg
SS delays US attack just enough
Author Poor Yorek
Method Solo
Victor Germany
Play Date 2012-02-19
Language English
Scenario WiSo012

Leader Draw:

US: Maj(10-1-0); Cpt(10-0-1); LTs(8-0-0; 9-1-0) GER: HptStfr (10-1-1); Ostfrs(10-1-0; 9-1-1)

Germans roll 5 on turn 1 so the PzIV-H unit comes on board on turn 1. US won initiative on all but turn 6.

The PzIV-H moved into light woods limiting terrain (turn 1) and shot up two steps of M3's (turn 2); but, lose a step each on turns 2 & 3 to good firing from Shermans.

German OF was quickly overcome by US morale recoveries. Assault on the town of Les Tscheous however went well for the Waffen SS (read = a pair of '6' rolls) with corresponding low rolls for US (including a '1').

US took the town on turn 9, but could not dislodge a 1.5 Gren + ldr unit adjacent to the round in the woods south of town. Thus German victory.

Total step loses (to):

US: 8 including 1 step of M4 during assault on Les Tscheous. GER: 7 including both PzIV-H and two mortars. Two steps were lost on the last turn due to a '2' roll on the 30-col bombardment table by US OBA (killed the SS survivors of the town assault).

Is a victorious Yorek still poor?

Who was your opponent? :-)

My opponent was my stepson (15) who denotes school breaks as "PanzerCons."

Of course I'm poor: my money is encumbered in the APL Kursk fund. :-(
