The scenario is a Dust up somewhere in Normandy between the US 7th Atmoured tank and the infantry of 12th SS. Both sides holds half their company in delayed reserve. Reserves arrives along the table corner in front of the mission objectives for each side respectively.
Turn 1
The armored column of US tanks move forward. The Artillery tries to range in on the Jagdpanthers but fails.
The German infantry digs in and the Jagdpanthers re position to fire at the observer tank but misses.
Turn 2
The US is biding their time to wait for the reserves to come. The artillery range in on a Jagdpanther but fails to hit it.
The German Paks dig in and the Jagdpanthers move out of the ranged in artillery. They try to destroy the observer tank once again but fails to hit it.
Turn 3
A platoon of US tanks arrives along the bocage and in good position to shoot one of the Jagdpanthers. Stabilized short range fire proves too much for the Panther which quicklcatch fire.
Reserves seems eager to fight and the SS Nebelwerfers arrive as well. The remaining Panther destroy one of the Shermans hiding in the Bocage before making a stormtrooper move back to relative safety. The PaKs are out of range.
Turn 4
The US are further reinforced by an armored rifle platoon that advance into the forest. The tank platoon in the Bocage move out to take cover behind the burning Panther. The first platoon of tank along with the commanders moves up ahead the road to shoot at the German Paks. The Paks all save their hits.
The SS are now almost at full strength with another infantry platoon arriving from reserve. It moves to threaten the objective guarded by three Shermans. The return fire from the Paks are not merciful and result in two destroyed and three bailed Shermans. They do however pass their morale test.
Turn 5
The last reserve, the AA trucks arrives. The Infantry push further through the forest positioning them self for an assault. The CiC drives into a close by forest to find concealment. Combined fire from the Priests and the tanks behind the wreck destroy the last Panther. In an attempt to avoid massed defense fire only a few US riflemen attempts an assault, killing two teams and losing two them self before breaking off.
The last German reserve, the mortars arrives. With the US infantry treating their left flank, the SS best hope is to take the US objective. Still in the sight of the Paks, the Shermans takes another beating of AT fire and are destroyed.
Turn 6
The Paks proves to difficult to approach and the remaining US tanks position them self out of sight from the guns. The hope stands to the infantry. On the US left flank combined fire from the Artillery and the Tanks kills three SS infantry teams. After heavy suppressing fire the US infantry assault the SS infantry and secure the objective.
For the SS things are going from bad to worse as both flanks are about to collapse. The CiC sacrifice himself to buy anther turn of battle by contesting the left objective. The SS at the right flank fails to destroy any tank with its Panzerschrek approaching the objective.
Turn 7
The US press on the assault and takes the objective after killing the German CiC. The teams up to the Bocage is killed and now it seems hard for the SS to stop the Americans from taking the objective.
The SS attempts to secure the US objective. The pass their Tank terror and lose one team in defensive fire, but the assault destroy one and bail one tank. The Lone Sherman hits back and kill one team, and the SS fail their morale to counterattack. With only 3 teams left, they have to make a test - witch fails.
Turn 8
With no Germans to contest the objective the US secure it and score a 5-2 victory!
