This is an interesting scenario as the timing of the reinforcements can determine the outcome. The Americans attack with the Sherman company rolling up and blasting the forward entrenchments. the Landschutzen couldn't stand up and simply fled. Then the tanks met up with the 1st Bn 26th Infantry which came in before the rest of TF Doan. Together the two formations rolled up the hill SW of Nutheim and easily dispatched the Germans there and then moved on to Nutheim and assaulted it on the west flank as the Germans had wire and mines covering the south of town. The Stugs were late coming in so the Shermans had time to soften up the defense and allow the infantry to gain a foothold. The Stugs finally showed up and had furious but brief battle with e 75mm Shermans. Both sides lost half their AFVs in that fight but the M10 Platoon and M4/76 platoon moved up and killed off the Stugs. Then it was reduction time and the Americans ground down the Germans taking all but two hexes of Nutheim. it ended in an American Major victory, 39 to 13. I think if the Stugs showed up early, they might have defeated the 75mm Shermans and fight would have been closer. Note I played this with the option armor value of 4 for the Shermans.
