After a break from PG I decided to pick up the reins again with this fairly simple night battle, This scenario has elements of the "Big Red One" defending against a German breakout tot eh north. The US set up dug in around the crossroads on board 25 and await the German attack.

The Germans stormed up the road and began to outflank the US position while pinning the US forces on the crossroads by assault. This assault was repulsed and the units involved had to regroup under their Col. The flanking units fared better apart from the HETZER unit which was ambushed by tank hunters and wiped out. By GT10 the Germans had units in the rear to the US positions and wee ahead in VP (just). The overconfident German commander went for the kill launching an assault on the last three US positions one of which was the MTR platoon. The assaulting troops took casualties from OF on the way in and the dug in Americans fought bravely causing more losses in vicious hand to hand combat. The US commander even managed to detach a small force to deal with the German units in his rear taking back most of the road hexes captured by this unit. With every German unit either DEM or in Assault hexes the battle ended quickly and after the dust was settled a major US victory was claimed.

This scenario is solid standard PG fare, limited set up options and not much room for any great maneuver but even so this game could have gone either way a good way to kick start back into PG
