Hi guys,
because my 6mm US Forces are still WIP, I decided to try BKC II with 15mm. All ranges are +50%.
OOB:
A German infantry company is ordered to defend Blueville against an attacking US combat group. The Grenadiers are supported by 4 StuG III and two Nashorn SPAT.
The attacking US force consists of three rifle platoons, 1 weapons platoon (2 .30 cal MG and 4 60mm Mortars)and a Sherman platoon of 7 tanks.
The US force arrives form some bocage-terrain in the outskirts of Blueville.
The German force holds the village...
Here´s the terrain before the combatants arrive, the defenders already in place:

Here the attackers enter the arena:

The US advances, the Shermans on the right flank, one rifle platoon on the left, the rest heading straight on to the middle.

http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/ragnar6... http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/ragnar6... Turn 2:
The rifle platoon on the left will be meeting a German platoon on the left flank.

First blood - the rifles suffer first hits, one section gets suppressed.

The advancing Shermans are hit very hard by the two Nashorns with their enormous firepower of their 8.8-Guns.

http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/ragnar6... After turn 4 the games was terminated... :-( It was a nice game which saw the German forces on the victory lane. The US mortars got the chance to fire at the German platoon on the left, but the weren´t able to score any hits... The Germans terminated 2 Shermans and one rifle platoon without own losses... The US CO and his subordinated HQs had bad luck with their die rolls... On the other hand the German Command had it...
Greetings from Germany,
