Van Gogh Away

 Fireball Forward 15mm ww2

Nuenen

14. Turn 5, US had 7 of the 8 buildings.
A scene from earlier in the game where the Sherman drew the Panther shot in a sacrifice move.
13. Bazooka and Stug trade misses. 
12.  US 1st platoon managed to rally off their broken status and secure the 1st building. 
11.  The broken Stug backs away from the Sherman. 
10.  2nd US platoon goes around the right flank, bazooka gets a rear shot on the stug.
9. The Stugs come into the fight.  The Sherman takes opportunity and gets a breaking hit, about as lucky as it could get vs its tough front armor.   2nd Stug comes around and shoots at the Sherman,  it goes wide.
8. MG team broken and then destroyed,  3rd platoon takes the 3rd building. 
7.  I moved 1 Sherman up the road to draw its fire.   The Panther easily destroyed it.   Now to make the sacrifice worth it  - the firefly slow moved west off the road, managed not to bog in the gully, and got its shot off.  A hit!  But the Panther's armor saved it.   Next turn the US got initiative first and the firefly shot again.  This time the cat wasn't so lucky.
6. That haystack turns out to be a hidden Panther!
5. Turn 2 the German counter attack begins.  It starts off looking bad with 2 US squads broken.
4. US flanks around the right, and captured 1st building. 
3. Somewhere ahead the Germans have 2 MG teams and a sniper, but they don't expose themselves 1st turn.

2. 101st Airborne deploy in the gullies along the road into Nuenen.

1. Scenario from FbF Io group.  My map is flipped left to right since that matches my battle map roads better.
