A quick little scenario where the Germans try to hold on to some terrain with a small blocking force and get a small reinforcement group sometime on or after turn 8 on a 14 turn scenario. The Americans get about 3-4 times the size of units with off-board artillery but little time to conquer the required areas.

In the end, the Americans did control almost of the Highway with the exception of one disrupted German Infantry unit but took the Antoine Farm, so they were able to achieve a Minor Victory but one turn from a Major victory. The Germans took out 4 steps of American units, one step short of them achieving a minor victory, as they needed 5 steps or more. That German SPW-251/22 75mm AT Halftrack is weak in protection but it has a nice bite when firing AT fire at American armor. The last time I remember firing a 75mm halftrack, was when I was firing an American M3/75mm Halftrack at a Japanese Type 97 tank in Guadalcanal.

Kind an interesting little scenario with a nice mix of unit types and very manageable to play.
