Second Battle done
---- Spoilers Below -------
Turn 00, Pz-Zug Schneider with one fully operational Panther and two damaged but running ones, Pz-Zug Langkeit (PzIV - Kramer dead, Langkeit now boss) with one Jpz IV, one fully operational Pz IV and one PzKw 1c along with one barely running PzIV and PzGren-Zug Krause (one PzGren section and one half-track) are deployed forward.
The rest of the Kampfgruppe is deployed to the rear.
This includes:
*Stab KG Weber
*Ari VB
*Kp-Trupp Kp Kronz (Tauber dead, Kronz now boss), and one half-track.
*Bauer with one fully operational SdKfz 234/1, and one damaged.
*PzGren-Zug Kessler with two sections and one SdKfz 251/9 (the soft trucks are withdrawn off-map).
*MG-Zug Scherrer with three MG42 MMG sections, no transport.
*Grw-Zug (intact).
Turn 01-05, Schneider and Langkeit moves forward and blunt the Ami lead element. Shoots up a number of recon vehicles.
Turn 06-10, American artillery and Jabo's shoot up the deployment area of (Aux) Pak and FlaK platoons. Schneider and Langkeit conducta a fighting retreat, knocking out a number of enemy tanks without sustaining any losses.
Turn 11-15, artillery and Jabo's knock out two of the GrW-tracks and the rest are withdrawn off-map. The one SdKfz 251/9 is imobilized by arty fire. The one undamaged Panther is immobilized after being hit by Jabos. Crew bails out.
Turn 16 - 22, enemy advance basically held with the destruction of the bulk of enemy Panzers destroyed. Ami infantery presses on, regardless but moves too slow. The Kampfgruppe's last undamaged 251 half-track is destroyed by Jabo attack.
-------------------------
The map is very good. Another fun scenario to play. Veteran players will probably not have a too difficult time slowing down and halting the American attack. I still had possesion of the two last objective clusters, but was saved by the bell - if the scenario had been longer I would have have to fight over the second last cluster too (the houses in front of the bridge) - the Americans at that Point still had 5 tanks, 1 M10 and a somewhat reduced infantry company left.
All core force losses in this battle were to air and artillery.
