Scenario ElsR014

Short report as I played this some time back but was a first to play with King Tigers! Slow but brutal. I set up 3" guns in the hamlet of 1105 and in the town for crossfire. Shermans dotted around and helping support the infantry dug into the wooded hill to the south.

FJ and a company of SS with Tigers took ages to clear that hamlet, while the rest of the KG cleared out the wooded hill. As both of those tasks were done it was time to collectively assualt the town but not without some pretty nasty casaulties. As soon as the AT threat was locally removed, the German halftracks could support the infantry with their extra firepower. The Panthers and Tigers and move around at will but PzIV's and halftracks need to be more careful. One Panther platoon was demoralized early on by a 3" gun and fled. This unit didn't return to the fight for about 2 hours!

Good scenario and interesting to do some research on it online and in books. Unlike the real account, few of my Shermans escaped.
