We decided on Fighting Withdrawal as a good test of my list, as the defender would have their entire force.
 |
| I line up heavily on the left flank, as this is where the fewest of Owen's AT platoons could bring their guns to bear |
 |
| A view down the entire table |
 |
| The LG40 guns on the hill are my immediate priority |
 |
| 10.5cm artillery ranges in on the Chaffees, but has no effect |
 |
| My entire force pushes forward |
 |
| The infantry want to clear the observer out of this church |
 |
| Artillery ranges in on the car park, but is ineffective again |
 |
| A single Chaffee lost |
 |
| I continue my push forward, having dealt with the observer |
 |
| My massed firepower takes out the LG40 guns on the second attempt |
 |
| StuGs ambush, and do what the artillery could not, destroying the Chaffee platoon |
 |
| Lots of MG shots from the recce pin down the FJ platoon on the objective |
 |
| M36 Jacksons deploy hull down on the hill and destroy the assault guns |
 |
| Whilst the rifle platoon leaps into an assault with the FJs |
 |
| The FJs come back at me, but only manage to score one hit |
 |
| Another FJ team is taken out, and they are pushed off the objective |
 |
| This forces the other platoon to start to move to deal with the threat |
 |
| Allowing me to deploy the TTD in the wood facing their old position, whilst the Bazooka teams in their halftracks head towards the final objective |
 |
| The Jacksons roll forward to intercept the reinforcements |
 |
| Machine guns on my left flank take out the last remnants of the FJ platoon |
 |
| The TTDs aren't really contributing to the battle at this point, trading shots with the AA platoon |
 |
| The German 1iC is on his own up on that hill |
 |
| The FJs navigate around the Jacksons to get into a position to assault |
 |
| They pin the rifle platoon, and get into assault, but are forced back |
 |
| And with the 1iC looking on, I take the objective at the start of my turn, 5-2 to the Americans |
