With this solo scenario, again I did a bit of fabrication by keeping the US armored force "hidden" and purposely undetected in woods on the east edge of board 22. Germans units even captured the one-hex town just a few hexes away, but were unaware of the US armor just within 400m. US OF wrecked its usual havoc upon the SS advance (an '11' followed by a '3' on one 30-col impulse). Inexorably, Das Reich made its way northwards to Manhay. As their main axis swung to the NW hill on board 24, the US armor comes out from hiding, savages some German grenadiers using the small town on board 22 to recover, then makes its move north to attempt to engage the Panthers between AT fire from Manhay and their approach from the South.

Four steps of PzV's were killed at the cost of the entirety of the US armor park.

By scenario end, the SS controlled the NW hill; contested or controlled most of Manhay and the NE hill (which meant no VCs for either side); and did hold the road south from Manhay sufficient for a minor victory.
