The malevolent young men of the 12th SS had to attack across frozen and slippery ground to wrest Alroncourt away from the "Super" 6th Armored Division on very cold wintry New Years Day in January 1945. And they had little time to do so, so a direct attack was the only way to go. The infantry., lead by the Panther platoon went directly at the city while the Mk IVs and a Schuetzen Company cleared the US LP/OPs from the woods NW of he town. The US set up with the infantry the town back my the M16 Meat Chopper in the center. On the flanks were halftrack patrols and the Sherman with the Hellcat platoon covering the right flank.

The attack was met by accurate artillery and mortar fire but the SS boys continued on with casualties mounting. As the Pz IVs crested the hill, the Hell killed a step of the panzers and tried a shoot-and-scoot, but due to bad ground conditions couldn't get away. The SS infantry finally got to the town but had a tough time getting a foothold. The Shermans fell back and in face of the Panther threat. This allowed the Panzers to flank the town and gaining two precarious footholds in the center and rear of Arloncourt. Al the US armored infantry was fixed fighting of the SS infantry, a small platoon did try to take out the Panthers but got shot up doing so. The Germans still had a chance on the last turn to turn this around if their assaults would work, but they all failed and the Americans held most of the town for a decisive victory.

A nice quick scenario that is the standard urban assault but with the twist of slow go to get to the town for the Germans because of the icy conditions.
