Overview:

As the battle in the central sector of the Ardennes Front began to weaken, the southern region was the scene of a fierce struggle for control. As the Americans moved closer to breaking the German supply lines, Armored Troop General Hasso von Manteuffel ordered the 1st SS-Panzer Division to retake Oberwampach. Despite their strenuous efforts, they were unable to dislodge the American 90th Infantry Division. With the situation hanging by a thread, the 2nd Panzer Division is tasked with forming a combat group to stop any further American advances.

2025-01-19(A) Robert Wiebe vs American American win

(VASL Log)		5 hrsAmericans won by amassing 51 CVP on their Turn 6, thereby denying the Germans a victory. Completely forgot about the pre-game Bombardment the Germans get. After the fact ran a quick simulation and it really would not have done much to affect the game I played.

Battle was swinging back and forth and the American OBA did destroy a Mark IV and a StuG G (this last with a CH securing the victory). Also, the initial German thrust from the SE was held up by an initial accurate OBA that decimated the Mark IV and broke many squads and HS. German Tigers and Panthers were able to destroy all the American armor less a single Sherman with a Disabled Gun, at the loss of one Panther. The German assault on the village was able to secure 10 buildings before the CVP was reached, falling nine buildings short.

Nice scenario. Two part Log file(s).
2025-01-19(A) Robert Wiebe vs American American win5 hrsAnother win for the Americans due to destroying so many German tanks (3 from Baz shots, and the other four from the TDs, a 57L AT, and a Sherman). American win by amassing 50 CVP thereby denying the German VC.

American Spotter was KIA when his Steeple location rubbled due to the Bombardment, which was only marginally effective...though a 57L AT gun was also destroyed. Initial German assault came from the SE, while the SS engaged from the NE, trying to close the noose on the Americans. Unfortunately they came up short.
