This is a nice, small scenario well-suited to introductory play. I've been doing a lot of that lately. This time I showed PG to Dieter, a guy I met at open gaming at the local game shop.

Dieter set up his HMG in the town and his grenadiers behind in the light woods. The mortars were in the heavier woods behind the town, well out of sight. I tried to flank him on the right with two rifle platoons and my HMG platoon transported by the halftracks, while approaching the town itself directly with the Shermans and the rest of my rifle platoons. He pinned down my flanking move first by disrupting and soon after demoralizing the lead U.S. platoon. While still trying to recover the Pz IVs showed up, which he sent to this part of the action.

Meanwhile, my direct approach also got bogged down as he got some lucky shots on the leaders. They finally recovered around turn 8. It looked like I would force a big assault in Les Tscheous in the last couple of turns, but as I approached he once again disrupted my top-ranking leader. This bought him time to bring the Pz IVs to defend the town. As things wound down it was clear I was not going to bring enough to bear on Les Tscheous. We called itfor the Germans around turn 11.
