Pont-De-La-Croix Scenario: Operation Warboard

I had a bit of a nostalgia kick and decided to setup a scenario that paid tribute to the first scenario outlined in the Operation Warboard book by Gavin and Bernard Lyall.
These were the first serious wargame rules I used extensively for my WW2 games and I had plenty of enjoyable solo battles and competitive games with friends using them back in the 1980s.
 
The US forces were three platoons of infantry in trucks, two jeeps and a troop of three shermans. The German defenders were two platoons of  infantry, one panzerschreck team, a company HQ, a solitary panther tank and a LMG positioned in a pillbox leading up to the village.
 


The cat decided to assist the US deployment which meant the game had to be abandoned early.
