Peiper vs Smedley
Turn 13

Sturmbannfuhrer Kirsch has been pleading for reinforcements for what seems like an eternity! His III Battalion has held out in La Haye Du Puits for over an hour. The Americans have been shelling his forces and assaulting with armor and infantry. The SS losses have been light but the regular army units have been hit hard. Almost all of the AT guns have been lost and only two Stugs remain.

The Americans have taken heavy losses. Mostly from arty. Almost five companies of US infantry have been destroyed. However, only one Sherman has been destroyed.

Hill 84 is under constant attack and needs to be held at all costs. If it falls the defenders in La Haye Du Puits will be cut off.......
