Overview:
In the early days of December 1944, the 100th Infantry Division was pushing through the Vosges towards the German border with the objective of seizing the French town of Bitche. During the advance, the 100th met strong German resistance at the village of Lemberg. On the morning of 9 December, GIs of Love Company, 399th Infantry Regiment drew the assignment to capture a key railroad trestle straddling the road to Lemberg. Under the cover of a smokescreen, the GIs moved out of a nearby draw and headed for the railroad embankment. Lt. Bennett Taylor of the 3rd Platoon gave the order to charge. The Americans rushed forward and were met by intense mortar, machine gun, and 20mm antiaircraft fire.Attacker: American (Company L, 399th Infantry Regiment, 100th Division)

| 2019-02-08 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | My attack got off to a slow start as the Americans. My smoke was perfect, but once I got past the rail line, I was caught in multiple German MG zones and got zapped. My 9-2 rolled boxcars on the a morale check and I broke the Medium. My opponent's held their line and that was all she wrote. | ||
| 2018-06-29 | (A) Paul Works | vs | Philippe Barbaroux | American win | American smoke screen worked well. I was able to get my troops over the railway and into the village. Touch-and-go for a couple turns in the middle of the scenario as the 20L AA Gun caused issues, but American firepower eventually took its toll on the Germans. |
