Overview:

On the second day of Operation Wacht Am Rheine, Kampgruppe Peiper had cleared Honsfield of American troops. After this, being low on fuel, Peiper decided to attempt to refuel at the American pumping facility at Bullingen, which fell after a small skirmish south of the town. Peiper had his vehicles’ fuel tanks filled with some of the 50,000 gallons of fuel they seized. After this, he sent small reconnaissance probes to the north. One of the reconnaissance probes was led by Werner Sternebeck, and was comprised of four Mark IV tanks accompanied by SS-Panzergrenadiers. They dueled with Tank Destroyers of the 644th Tank Destroyer Battalion and their supporting infantry of the 2nd Infantry Division not too far north of Bullingen.

2024-12-17(A) Adam Lunney vs Simon Spinetti American win3 hrsGermans conceded end US T4 - too far from VC area with not enough time left. Good fun though.
2024-03-23(A) fabio aliprandi vs Riccardo Rinaldi German (SS) win
2024-01-07(D) joe moro vs Brian Yee American win
2023-08-06(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. American winI think this one went as the others have described. I ran my SS troops full tilt but came up two buildings short. My friend pulled his forces back and made moving forward a challenge. There was some strategy involved in that I pinned a bunch of his squads in the big woods overlay, enabling me to run the bulk of my forces around the other side and flank the last two buildings. However, there is just too much open ground to cover to get to the last three buildings. Heck, I only took the first of the three because I ran a HS through a gauntlet of open ground shots and somehow survived. I think the SS needs to be really lucky or the Americans really unlucky to for the Germans to pull this one off.
2023-05-01(A) Simon Staniforth vs DB American winA fair bit of ground for the Germans to cover in just 6 turns. I pushed quite hard losing mainly armoured Units regularly along the way, particularly once the HIP M10 popped up. Highlight of the game was subsequently taking it out with a CH from a captured BAZ. By the final turn I was able to mount an assault on the final two rear most buildings and even get into CC having risked my two remaining AFVs to freeze but without enough strength to carry the day. Closer than I thought it would be after the initial couple of turns
