This scenario places a small force of 5 US infantry, 2 HMSs, an 81mm mortar and a 57mm AT gun with towing truck holding the north-south road on board 25 against a force of 7 German grenadiers, 2 HMGs, 2 81mm mortars, 3 Engineers, and a Hetzer entering the board from the south in a night action. Mud slows everything down, adding a movemement point to vehicles and dropping all foot movement to a 1. Germans have 2 16factor OBA and US has an 18 factor OBA. I set up the US in some depth, with an outpost in the light woods at 0515 with a lieutenant, the main line of resistance in hexes 0915 dug in and 1014 in the woods, each with one infantry and one HMG, the US captain in the woods hex and an LT dug in, placed the AT gun, truck and one infantry dug in at 0912 and the mortar with the sergeant at 0910. The Germans enter in line, initially taking 2 actions to move everything, the Hetzer on the road and the rest lined up so that the German left had the captain in the middle of 3 stacks, with 2 infantry on the left, an infantry and an engineer in the captain's hex and an infantry and HMG to the right and adjacent to the road and Hetzer. To the other side, the German colonel was centered in 3 more stacks with an LT, infantry and HMG on his right, an infantry and engineer in his hex, and an infantry and engineer on his right, leaving the two mortars on the right flank. The forces made contact in the dark on the German left and the Germans took the first losses, the outpost trying to pull back after firing, but the Germans kept contact and demoralized the outpost troops, killing the LT and then the two infantry platoons. The Hetzer stayed on line initially but then turned in to support as contact was made on the German left and assisted in an assault with the dug-in AT gun, which failed to hit the Hetzer either in the approach or in the assault. The German Colonel and the LT to his right made contact with the US captain and LT in he woods/light woods and both sides exchanged fire, disrupting each other and tying each other up for several turns, but the US troops got the worst of it and had to pull back. Both sides took friendly fire casualties from OBA, but it hurt the US troops more than the Germans. The Germans pushed the surviving forces back to a final battle with the US mortar that had survived and fought on against 3 to 1 odds until the last turn, when the US captain and an infantry platoon attempted to join and push out the attacker. US rolled a 7 and Germans a 2, finishing off the US captain and pushing the surviving sergeant out of the hex. The Hetzer too advantage of the situation to move forward and gain road hexes, so at the end, the Germans had control of 12 road hexes and had inflicted 12 step losses to the US having inflicted 9 steps and controling the last 8 hexes. The totals gave the Germans a major victory by one point. Great game right down to the last shot.
