Scenario AAAD008

This scenario played out about as counter-historically as you could imagine. As the Germans I've had great success in defeating American armor in Tunisia in the previous scenarios, so the plan was to charge directly into the American defenses, lever them apart with armor and finish them off with infantry.

Unfortunately, the American armor reinforcements arrived immediately, and while the Shermans were dispatched immediately, the Grants took up positions in the hills and took the panzers out in an extended 2-hour engagement, supported by halftrack tank destroyers on the flanks. The German infantry spent themselves in taking a single American dugout, as they were pounded by artillery and sniped at from multiple directions. Few Sdkfz 251s survived to haul away the shattered battalion. The German paras on the flank were turned aside by the American defenders, and in the end not a single German unit was on board 76.

Major American victory.
