Aachen was isolated, but prying the first German city away from the Reich would prove no easy task. Hoping to avoid the nightmare of house-to-house fighting, two battalions were ordered to drive through the heart of Aachen towards the three hills dominating the city to the north. Giving the 2,000 weary defenders no respite, the Americans stepped off at dawn the next day. . .
Attacker: American (3rd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Grenadier-Regiment 48, Volksgrenadier-Division 12)
U.S. tanks do not count towards the Victory Conditions.

Players wanting to play this game/Request a match:
Nice scenario. The American decided to avoid the graveyard and ove full force to the exit. Fire lanes are mandatory for the German, American was not lucky and FT never made any effect.

My third and final attempt to win this scenario as the Americans. One of Dan’s HMG’s went on a 10 shot in a row rate of fire tear that basically gutted the American assault through the cemetery. By turn 5 I conceded.

The German upfront defense proved to have a weakness, which the Americans were quick to exploit and run through like gangbusters. A last-ditch defense by the AA gun and a couple half squads didn't prove nearly enough and the Americans had more than enough points by Turn 7.

Americans had good luck in using tank fire to suppress German HMG's and choosing a route through the board that bypassed the quad 20. Once the line cracked, the Germans couldn't reposition in time.

American win
My defensive setup was not quite good and the Americans smashed my flank using most of the force in a single point. They pressed hard and blocked my repositioning so I could do nothing to stop them from crossing the map and conceded.

Justin staked out most of the 2nd Level locations. I was finally able to clear the middle building in turn 7 but i conceded after my turn 8 rally phase when I only had the capability of getting about 7 units off the board and no real promise of getting the last 2.

Lack of enjoyment was more because of the extreme diceyness which took place on both sides.

I played this one previously as the Americans and had no illusions that it would be just as tough the second go around. And it was. My opponent's mastery of the 2nd level locations...left me shattered.

Just getting started. US forces are thrusting through the middle. Shermans managed to break through revealing quad 20mm and both panzerschrecks.

Great scenario. Tanks got 3 critical hits on the German MG nests to give the win (just) for the US
