Scenario AaGI001

The US split into three 6xINF + 2xHMG groups (essentially: one group was -1 HMG +1 INF). One held the towns/road on B22; one held the crossroads and high ground of eastern B25; and a reserve group to the SW of B22. The German entry was prescribed.

This wasn't elegant from the German pov. The VG units on B25 simply tried to tie up the US units there without commitment. The goal was to threaten road control and thus prevent US B25 units from reinforcing B22.

The ENG's suffered heavily, but using the cover of the early darkness turns to approach, wedged a foothold into the eastern hamlets. The main GREN force, backed by STUGs stormed westwards along the road and to the south of the fields. Sort of human wave, Heer style.

The US drew a lot of blood, but eventually were themselves bled dry (or DM'd) away from the B22 E/W road.

End Result: a Draw with Heer holding the B22 E/W road, but the US collecting well over 20+ step losses.
