Overview:
On the morning of the 20th, the 94th Reconnaissance Troop and the Divisional Headquarters Defense Platoon, which had requested action, assembled at the crossroads in Wies before heading toward Schloss Thorn. This force, organized in two platoons, was supported by two light and two medium tanks. Arrangements had been made for a five-minute artillery barrage to facilitate the attack. At 0700, the advance started, but was immediately hit by enemy mortar and artillery fire. Furthermore, surrounding Thorn were thousands of anti-personnel mines which disabled one tank.Attacker: American (94th Reconnaissance Troop | Division Headquarters | 94th Infantry Division | 10th Armored Division)

| 2026-06-12 | (D) Douglas Leslie | vs | Tony Gibson | German win (VASL Log) | FNF game. Tony was well and truly diced in this one. The German MMG was in the steeple under the command of the 9-1 leader and tore the US infantry apart. By turn two, the Americans were down to two unbroken squads and were down two AFVs including one of the Shermans and he decided to call it at that point. Tricky scenario for the attackers with so much open ground to cover and minefields in the only available rout terrain. | ||

| 2024-08-22 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | 1.5 hrs | German minefields bedeviled the American infantry and then the 75 gun went on a HEAT rate tear and destroyed the two Stuarts and the Greyhound. The Hetzer took out a Sherman and was lined up to take out the second one. Americans gave the concession after 3. | |
