Overview:

In a desperate bid to break out of the ever-tightening American stranglehold, Peiper decided to mount an attack toward Borgoumont, using the remainder of his precious fuel to give renewed mobility to several of his panzers. Before dawn, SS panzergrenadiers had moved to a forward position in and around the villas of Les Tcheous, with orders to await an armored force scheduled to jump off at about 1000 hours. As the German advance commenced, it was quickly spotted thanks to the thin mist now prevailing over the battlefield – and within minutes, shells of all sizes rained down upon them. . .

2023-06-02(A) Andy Goldin vs Stephen WorrelA German (SS) winA nailbiter but I managed to exit 2 Panthers and a Halftrack on the last turn for the win. Crazy LOS problems made it hard for Stephen to call in his arty effectively but it still managed to knock out two of my halftracks. His 105 OBA caused plenty of damage but its last mission fired short, killing his exposed observer for the 80s. Only a second red chit stopped the fire, A well placed MG/667/9-1 hung up my infantry until I managed to get point blank fire on it. I did manage to destroy all his tanks with direct fire from my own tanks, with all racking up kills. The German balance-given 9-2 helped score a hit with a PSK on his 76L, taking his last tank out of the game. Major style points for Stephen, as he advanced an 8-1 and HS into CC, killing my King Tiger. What an insult!
Nonetheless, by Turn 5 I had killed or broken enough of his stuff to earn me some maneuver space to get around him while simultaneously forcing the road. The US90L is enough of a threat to make the German think twice about moving around the west, while the hilly terrain is slow going for vehicles in the east. I think the German player has to destroy enough Americans to get maneuver room and then move down the road while pressing a flank. A flank-only attack will be too slow due to the soft ground and hilly terrain.
