Overview:

The 36th Infantry Division "T-Patchers" were advancing east, toward the Rhine when they encountered Oberleutnant Werner Haberland's seven Jagdtigers defending the area between Gunstett and Surbourg. Haberland was supporting the 47th Volksgrenadier Division which was tasked with preventing the Americans from crossing the Sauer River. . . . .This is the big honkin' scenario of the pack in which American infantry, Shermans and M-10 GMCs must cross a stream under fire and establish a bridgehead in the face of a determined group of Germans supported by Jagdtigers.

2023-01-04(D) Simon Staniforth vs Sean Pratt American winThe Jagdtigers covered the bridges and the Americans wisely kept their AFVs hidden with a view to an endgame push into the victory area. Led with the infantry and the Germans melted away against all their firepower, helped by the US infantry passing plenty of MCs as they advanced. Capped off by the 10-2 going Berserk and charging one of the beasts, followed up by a squad and a Snake Eyes in the subsequent CC to burn it, withdraw and create another leader. With little GO German infantry remaining at that point (T5) the Germans conceded. Maybe I should have been more aggressive with the Jagdtigers but the play seemed to be to sit and defend the bridges leaving the infantry to skulk and take shots at the advancing US infantry as opportunity allows but that didn’t reward me with a great playing experience.
