I have written an illustrated AAR for DB169 STERNEBECK'S SORTIE. During the Battle of the Bulge, Waffen SS troops with Panzer4 tanks and halftracks try to take all the American owned buildings against elite infantry with two M10 tank destroyers.

Played this a couple of times and was included in the UK Heroes tournament. Not many German wins in the tournament. Needs an extra half turn to give German a chance of winning. Giving the German balance makes it even easier for a US win.

"The Panzer4 tanks put acquisitions down for future smoke " This line stood out to me.
I've often seen people do this but the Pzr4 has a depletion number of 8. With the +2 for smoke placement, unless you are trying to place smoke on a concealed target, all you are doing is risking a SAN or MA malfunction as the net number needed will be greter than your depletion number.

I lost it to a hip HS after killing and routing almost all the USA OOB... but didn't count the units and forgot to enter V13... if I had counted the HiP even in the last turn, I had the chance to freeze and kill that hip unit.... but shit happens... my bad. Maybe a bit pro USA, but the german SS and SMOKE can do the work
