Overview:

The roadblocks along the Wiltz road had not been established in vain. Even the disaster at Wardin bought time for the 101st Airborne to move into position around Bastogne. Just as Lt. Colonel Roy Inman's 2nd Battalion of the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment was relieving some engineers in the village of Marvie, a platoon of German tanks, led by a single Jagdpanzer, began shelling the town and engaging Team O'Hara's light tanks. At 1100, a company of panzergrenadiers in halftracks, came barreling out of the woods right into the town and almost on top of Inman's glider men.
Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier-Lehr-Regiment 901, Panzer-Lehr-Division)
Defender: American (Company E, 327th Glider Regiment; Team O'Hara, CCB, 10th Armored Division)

2025-10-24(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American win2.5 hrsTough scenario for the Germans. My Germans would lose a MKIV, the 8-1 and 4 of the 5 half-tracks and have to concede at the end of Turn 5 with only 3 victory locations in German hands.
2025-05-13(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier German winThe Germans moved quickly covering a fair amount of ground on turn one and isolating the US MMG and leader. The US armor made a push to try and cut off some routes, but first one and then a second armor were taken out. The German Panzers were a bit unlucky as the one ran into the HIP AT gun and another fell to a lucky BAZ shot. Two Melees could have gone either way, but they went in favor of the Germans. In the end the Germans broke enough infantry that they were about to taken the required building and stay under the CVP cap (33/40).
