Round Three
The Axis roll 9 on the initiative throw, and the Allies roll 4. Neither side has a leadership bonus. The Germans accept the initiative and move first.
The Pak38 disembarks from the scout car, which advances towards the Allied assault-gun fire team. The MG42 also advances. The Tiger can't move because it is disrupted.
The Allied infantry moves in for a close assault on the scout car, and the third Sherman repositions behind the Tiger.
In the assault phase, the Pak38 fires on the first Sherman and scores two hits, which destroys it. The armored car fires on one assault gun and scores two hits, but the crew succeeds on the cover throw and is only disrupted. The Mg42 fires on the riflemen and kills him in one burst. The second volley is directed against the other gun, which also scores two hits. Again, the crew succeeds on the cover throw. The Tiger fires at the second Sherman and scores two hits, which destroys it.
The rifleman damages the armored car with his close assault. The closest AT gun finishes off the target. The other gun fires at the Pak38 and misses. All three Shermans fire at the Tiger and fail to penetrate its armor.
Round Four
The Axis roll 5 in the initiative, and the Allies roll 3. The Germans accept the option of moving first.
The Tiger rotates to face the third Sherman, and the MG advances. The third Sherman repositions behind the Tiger again.
In the assault phase, the MG42 fires on both guns and scores two hits on each unit. One crew succeeds on the cover throw, and one unit fails and is destroyed. The Pak38 fires at the third Sherman and misses. The Tiger fires at the third Sherman and destroys it by scoring two more hits.
The Allied AT guns fire at the Tiger and miss. The Sherman fires at the Tiger and misses.
Round Five
The Axis claim the initiative by rolling 7, compared to the Allied 3.
The Germans moves first by advancing with the MG42, and rotating the Tiger to face the remaining AT gun. The AT gun is disrupted and can't do anything. The MG fires twice on the AT gun and scores one hit each time. Before it is destroyed, the AT fires one last shot at the Tiger and misses.
The Allies have been eliminated.
Conclusion and Analysis
The Germans took a calculated risk by deploying a single Tiger and its associated support vehicles. Through luck and careful planning, the Tiger and support guns were able to damage the Shermans before they could close with the target and cause significant damage. Instead of finishing off each Sherman, the Germans shifted their attention as the situation dictated and slowed all three attackers. The Tiger's superior armor, when combined with negative modifiers on each Sherman, made it almost impossible to score any hits.
The third Sherman had a chance to weaken the Tiger, but the superior armor prevented the damage from being carried over. The highly mobile armored car was able to bring the gun up quickly, and that was an important factor because it forced the second Sherman to provoke defensive fire.
The Allied infantry screen was ineffective at protecting the field guns, which were too slow and too far away to have any effect on the forward armor clash.
