Panzer Grenadier Deluxe - Stoumont scenario played

Another WWII game today this time with Panzer Grenadier Deluxe and Stoumont scenario.
Stephen set up the scenario and I brought Germans (Peipers SS lot) to face his Yanks.
Another excellent game with these rules.
King Tiger acted like.....well............a King Tiger taking out 4 US Tanks at range despite failing to Activate once and being Suppressed one turn as well.
Yanks did manage to take the St Eduard sanatorium after an effective timed Artillery barrage revealed my Hidden and Ambush units inside.
We both lost an AFV each to snake eyes  M36 and a PzIV exiting the field respectively mine due to Rally roll and Stephens to going Out Of Ammo.
Couple of anomalies arose (don't they always !?) as it seems Armoured Cars are as maneuverable in muddy conditions as Tanks ?
Rules state Trucks and Jeeps suffer a -1 to Bogging rolls but not clear if this includes A/Cs or half-tracks (I would house rule for future that they do suffer the -1).
Also seems one can Rapid Advance into Close Combat against units that you cannot actually see prior to moving (not Hidden per se but on table out of LOS) as unit can covert a Move into a Close Assault at 'any point during their move'.
Seemed tad odd but ok.
Otherwise all slick and plausible stuff.
