Indeed
but I like this challenge. Gives me the feeling the real German commanders had to face.

Alright after many turns of little action here is a small update so far:
After a massive nebelwerfer bombardment on Clervaux I've continued my advance into the town killing any remaining soldiers.
A small group of soldiers remaining in the church are being pussed into cover with small arms fire after they are killed with a flamethrower
Troops passing a burning tank in Clervaux
Near Eselborn I have a few Panthers on overwatch. They exchanged fire with a few 57mm AT guns. Gues who won
The 57mm rounds are no match for the Panthers frontal armor
Massive sound contacts on the horizon meaning he is moving forward with his reinforcements.
Battle rages on

Do you and Ronnoc plan to do some AI plans and release it as a scenario after it's all said and done? Looks like fun.

It hasn't occured to me yet but might be of an option

I've made an massive tactical error (I can punch myself in the head for this one)! A few turns ago a noticed sounds contact in this gap thinking no armor or units can go down this slope I ignored it... Forgot about it and now...
These basterds showd up in the back of my force probing Eselborn with major losses
6 halftracks and 2 panthers destroyed
This calls for drastic counter meassures

Ronnoc moved in about 20+ tanks covered by a smokescreen. Once the screen went away it was a good old show down of 20+ Shermans vs 6 PzIV's. 3 guesses who won ...
At least the bloody ambushing Chaffee is destroyed by a panzerfaust

Meanwhile I'm closing in on Clervaux castle where the last of Ronnoc's forces are holding in a heroic last stance.

As said in my previous post Ronnoc moved up about 20+ tanks and destroyed several of mine it was time for payback. I move 2 Panthers down the slopes of the hill and got around in his flank. These 2 Panthers made it down
These are the hits his Shermans scored before 1 was knocked out and the other got severly damaged
But my final score is 2 Panthers out of action vs 6+ of his Shermans
Up in the North near Eselborn I managed to break true his Chaffee blockade with a few Panthers. Destroying about 7 or more of his Shermans.
In total I think I lost 5 Panthers vs about 18+ Shermans/Hellscats. Now that is a nice kills/death ratio
The last of his remaining forces are being mopped up in Clervaux castle but I'm feeling the presure of Ronnocs force's who are knocking on the outskirts of Clervaux's doors.

Alright Ronnoc just got really (well I mean extreem) lucky! I had a massive Nebelwerfer bombardment planned which was about to fall on top of his advancing force when I realised that I needed that Neb for some other fire mission. So I canceled it. Just when I had canceled it I noticed that I had 2 Nebelwerfers...
When I planned a new Nebelwerfer bombardement I moved a FO unit forward. This took me several turns and when it was finnaly getting into position the FO unit was killed by a lucky mortar round
Things will get interesting now.
