Overview:

On the Omaha beachhead, as more and more troops and material came ashore, those remaining alive from the first wave were forcing their way inland bit by bit. In the sector of the First Infantry Division – the “Big Red One” – the day’s objective was the village of Colleville. Lack of radio communications and smoke from day-long artillery exchanges prevented the Navy from providing expected fire support, but with German fire coming from the area, the order to attack was given. Colleville had to be taken, and without further delay. . .
Attacker: American (Company G, 16th RCT, 1st Infantry Division)

2023-11-11(D) Louis Langdeau vs Wesley G American winThe young can still teach us many lessons.

Third ASL game with my nephew, and first featuring MGs. I planned to put the fear of HMGs into him, but unfortunately I forgot the lesson I learned last time I played this. Don't put the HMG out where the Americans can slap it, since it's hard to lay covering fire to defend it if the unit breaks. Wes dutifully broke my MG squad, then rushed up to grab the HMG, using my best weapon against me. A couple cursory melees with overwhelmed Germans later, and I was done.

Highlight goes to Wes (my 12 year old nephew) smack-talking with a completely straight face. When my reinforcements came on the board, he asked if there were any more MGs he could grab from them.

Scenario is fine. I've gotten dummied both times I played it, so I don't know how tight it is, other than that it can really fall apart with bad German deployment!
2023-11-05(A) Andreas R vs Alex American win
2023-09-03(A) Klara Kundzicz vs Benjamin Steinberg German winI was absolutely crushing my oponent but i couldnt eliminate the last American unit and thus lost at game end, was fun tho! (and frustrating.......)
2023-06-22(D) Pascal Boileau vs Erwan R-1 German winA good scenario with a nice opponent. The issue of the game was decided in the last turn. The Americans were maybe a little shy but nevertheless they broke many German troops in DFPh. However, to endure the American firepower, the Germans have to keep a low profile until the very end of the game...
2023-06-16(A) Andreas R vs Anders American win
2023-06-10(A) Vincent Laigle vs German win
2023-06-06(D) Bob McKenna vs Pierre Charboneau German winAmericans were repulsed early and offer. ROF of MG caused breaks and PINS. Good German rolls, poor US rolls. Played the scenario on D-Day
2023-04-23(D) Justin DiSabatino vs Self German winThe American attack never really gained momentum, unable to break the 8-1/HMG/4-6-7 stack in O6. The HMG repeatedly went on rate tears and the squad never failed a morale check, which stymied the main force for the Americans. The turn 2 MMG for the Americans broke on its first use in Turn 3, taking some of the teeth out of the flanking forces. Even when they did make it into the rear side of town, they were unable to shift the Germans to even come close to managing a win.
2023-04-18(A) Andreas R vs Jenny American win
2023-02-18(A) fabio aliprandi vs TreEmme American win
2022-12-15(A) Patrick Bonner vs Self German winThe Germans delayed the Americans by being extremely aggressive in their defense, but the Americans looked set to win, except on the last turn a German unit was able to get into the victory zone, and hold back the American Victory.

I played this one three times. The Americans lost two. They finally won the last match because I was more willing to throw the half-squads into the Germans to soak up their fire.

This one was fun.
2022-10-08(A) Jonathan Plott vs John Schneider German winJohn Schneider and myself played this scenario for the ASLOK 2022 Start Me Up (ASLSK) Mini-Tournament championship! It all came down to the last CCPh of the last player turn, and John S won the game!! I came in second place…out of only two entrants. Might leave that last bit out of the narrative when I get home (it’s MY story and I’m sticking to it!). Had a great time at my first ASLOK!
2022-09-14(A) Jack Wilson vs Bob T. American winFirst time using VASL for this original SK scenario. IMO, this battle has three phases:
1st. Americans have to navigate some open ground to get a foothold in the western cluster of buildings. 2nd. Clearing the western cluster. 3rd. Closing in on the southeastern cluster of VC buildings and flushing out all GO German MMC (usually now defended by the T2 reinforcements).

The Germans' main weapon is their HMG. If this gun (perhaps directed by their 8-1 leader) can make rate a few times, it can really bog down the American attack. However, surviving the notorious American response FP might quickly put that weapon out of play.

IMO, the German player's best strategy is to play rope-a-dope in the western buildings and try to conserve force for the last couple of turn's slug fest for the final southeastern VC buildings.

Bob had a good initial set up but was betrayed by dice that refused to roll low in the early turns. Adding insult to injury, he had to abandon his HMG when its manning infantry broke. In the end, American fire power proved too much, and they were able to gain control of the final VC buildings with more muscle than the Germans could bring to bear to expel them.

Overall, an excellent game with a great playing partner.
2022-06-30(D) Jack Wilson vs Eric Filipkowski German winThis was my second time playing this scenario and the first time with the Germans. Having previously lost with the Americans, I could sympathize with the difficult challenge Eirc faced in attempting to clear (not capture) 11 VC buildings of GO units, while exposing his attacking squads to multiple OG shots from defenders well ensconced in stone buildings and having only 5 turns to get it done.

IMO, this one has a definite tilt toward the defender which is confirmed by the Archive's recoded plays. However, ROAR gives the edge to the attacker which indicates that Americans can triumph with perhaps superior tactical play.

I believe the key to the American attack hinges on successful opening prep fire, followed by successful advance fire and defensive fire in their half of the turn with the arriving reinforcements. Unfortunately, for Eric, those +3 stone building DRMs took a lot of the sting out the powerful American FGs with the result that it was almost turn 4 before he was finally able to get established in the first cluster of buildings. By then, the Germans had established a layered defensive line that denied the last turn rush for the final VC buildings with overwhelming D1F and SFF shots.

Still an enjoyable game. with an enjoyable opponent.
2022-06-25(D) Craig Renier vs Eric Filipkowski German winThe Americans neglected to use smoke initially and made some risky moves in the open providing a few key opportunities for the German player which resulted in broken American leaders and squads. The Americans were able to wrest control of the central buildings from the Germans, but the Germans were able to withdraw and reinforce the final stone buildings with a nearly impenetrable force. The Americans attempted a final desperate attack to no avail.
2022-05-02(A) Jack Wilson vs Ken Walsh German winPlayed this a couple times solo, but this was my first FTF. As usual, Ken played a solid game. However, my attack was doomed to failure by a combination of poor DRs and utterly terrible tactics on my part. With only 5 turns to make sure no GO MMC remain in any of the 11 victory building hexes, I opted to throw caution to the wind, and made several high risk/high reward moves. Unfortunately for me, I reaped all the risks with essentially no reward. Bottom line: by the end of turn three I was so shot up I threw in the towel.
IMO, the big challenge for the Amis is the lack of approach routes for the first turn forces that provide cover for either approach or the establishing of killer FGs without stacking multiple squads. Add to that, the notorious American ML of 6 for the squads (and dice that refuse to roll low on MCs) and I had a tough time figuring this one out.
Ken played a masterful game and made me pay dearly for my tactical gambles.

(VASL Log)
On the first Turn the Americans made little progress, mostly breaking in the center. However, Turn 2 was more successful. The Americans were able to enter the buildings in the center and North while the Germans withdrew mostly in Good Order. However, in Turn 3 the Americans secured the center buildings in force and were established in the North with flanking half squads maneuvering in the woods around the German right flank. The Germans were squeezed into the corner with few skulking options. At the end of Turn 3, German Good Order squads had been reduced by a third. With enormously superior firepower and numbers, the Americans crushed into the remaining German defense. The Germans tried desperately to block the American approach with broken units and residual, but the Americans pushed forward. On the final German turn, after the RPh, the Germans had one half squad, one full squad with HMG and a 8-0 SMC. In Prep the Germans broke 3 American squads and a SMC. There was a brief moment of hope. However, in DefF the three German Good Order units broke giving the Americans a victory.
2021-12-26(A) Bob McKenna vs Robert Kroczynski German winFlanking action by US and use if cover allowed a systematic advance.

2021-12-13(D) Ballesteros Angel vs Solo German win
2021-10-10(A) David Garvin vs Greg Lawlor American winGreg is a new player. That said, he played very well as the defender. It came to a counter-counter attack on my part, but I won on the very last dice roll.
The dice luck was about even between us, albeit as the US I had early fortunes. He enjoyed the game and I think we'll be gaming again.
2021-04-04(D) Jim Liang vs Dennis Freeberg German win

Germans hung on to one last stone building after American Defensive Fire Phase in Turn 5 to win.
2021-03-21(A) Kamil Dziarmaga vs German American win
2021-03-11(A) Chris Anthony vs Stuart Wexler American winAmericans rushed the village and were able to get control of half of it in the first two turns. The number of Half-squads really challenged the Germans to make the most of their fires, but ultimately the Germans were overwhelmed by the Americans and forces out of the village at the end of the American's last turn. No GO units were left to try to retake any buildings.
2021-02-07(A) Jonathan Townsend vs Myself German winA bit of a lesson in swarming with HS.
2021-02-03(D) Michal Kostan vs [solo] German win
2021-01-24(A) Tony Fermendzin vs Bob Saker American winThe Americans managed to get the maximum number of half-squads for their reinforcements on both of the first two turns and were very aggressive from the onset. The German MG's failed to get ROF and the Germans were overwhelmed by the the sheer number of American HS's. The Americans were able to get a foothold in the northern half of Coleville in the second turn, and were able to take out the German HMG and get a foothold in the southern part of the town on the third turn. A large American fireteam broke one of the last remaining defending German squads in the southern part of the town during their DFPh on the fourth turn at which point the Germans conceded.
2020-12-05(D) Mark Dennehy vs Steve Ambruzs German winThe combination of a German squad that refused to break under withering fire and a lucky shot that broke the American 9-2 leader and the platoon he was with left the Americans with too little time and manpower to clear the southern half of the village.
2020-12-03(A) Craig Renier vs Richard Vieira German winThe Americans advanced cautiously on the German right with a small force probing on the left. The small force was quickly broken and the large force was held off well for three turns. With time running out and the German force virtually intact, the American force moved more boldly, finally breaking the German MMC with HMG. The effort was too little too late. The Germans held on to three buildings and recaptured a fourth.
2020-11-17(A) Igor Luckyanov vs Anton Sulin German win
2020-10-15(A) Macari Samuel vs Tkac American winTough game. American has to progress with prudence but without hesitation. German lost their HMG early in the game. This gave American better opportunies to take control of Colleville.
2020-09-19(A) Scott Fischbein vs Michael Holy German winClose game, but the Germans kept their HMG and one squad intact in the only German occupied victory building in turn 5, and it went on a tear in the final American turn, breaking 6 American squads and sealing their fate.
2020-09-10(D) Scott Fischbein vs Michael Holy German win(Re)Learning game for Michael.
2020-08-14(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon German winWow, This time my dice failed me. I got a rate tear of four or five shots, all with 1 MC or better on him. He passed them all. LOL
But more than that, Loic placed his defenders very well. Had a rate tear of his own and stopped my attempt to flank his forces.
2020-07-06(D) Savo Barbero vs a Anonymous German win[Imported from ROAR]
2020-06-25(D) Jonathan Plott vs Kevin Sanders American winPlayed this in the first round of the Human Wave Tournament sponsored by the DC Conscripts. Lasted longer in the game than I thought I would have, but the Americans finally overwhelmed the defenders on the last turn. Great match!
2020-06-25(A) Kevin Sanders vs Jon Plott American winSo it was initially looking like a US steam roller after 1st prep fire phase. Then Col. Klink (German 6+1) and the boys held fast. It went to the last turn to kick the Germans out of town. Well fought defense and swing of luck and tactics.
2020-06-12(D) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier German winAmericans were able to keep pressure on the Germans the entire game, but the Germans were able to skulk out of the way of the last Defensive Fire to get the win.
2020-06-12(D) Craig Renier vs Jon Plott German winAmerican player broke a key German defensive position in the first two turns allowing the American forces to move into the north east buildings quickly. German reinforcements were able to establish themselves in the remaining buildings. On Turn 5 the American player threw everything across the road with the hope that the last German units would break during the German Def Fire Phase. At the end of Turn 5, German player had 2 remaining good order squads in two buildings for a very close German win.
2020-06-12(A) Craig Renier vs Dave Mareske German winAmerican first turn assault resulted in a large number of broken squads. Turn 2 reinforcements and rallied squads were able to put on pressure and gain a foothold, but German skulking prevented the American from achieving final victory.
2020-06-12(A) Jonathan Plott vs Craig Renier German winFirst VASL game!
2020-06-03(A) Craig Renier vs Benjamin Steinberg American winStrong German stack in front held off American advance for the first two turns. Americans were able to rally followed by a critical roll in defensive fire breaking the German defense. One building fought in melee for 3 turns before Americans were able to eliminate the German force. German player conceded at the end of Turn 4.
2020-06-02(D) Craig Renier vs Ethan Delwood German winEffective DefFF in first two turns slowed American advance. American conceded at the end of Turn 4.
2020-04-21(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Jakob Gruvaeus American winI was happy with my setup and looking forward to "teaching" Jakob more ASL since this is only his third game. He started by breaking one of my squads, then the other, then he moved like a fast and stealthy tiger and before I knew it I was completely destroyed. Conceded in turn after turn 3 with only 2 squads in good order and both of them outside a wall of americans guarding the victory locations. I bow..

2019-01-02(A) O Ramaille vs Matthieu M German winThe American assault stalled due to lack of smoke grenades and also accurate German fire. The reinforcements helped clearing the first node of resistance. But the Germans reinforced their position preventing the Americans to dislodge despite an all fearless assault. A German decisive victory.

2017-06-06(D) Louis Langdeau vs Reid C American winMy inability to leave a good position strikes again! I held out for far too long in the central range of buildings, letting a ton of my broken units die when they were surrounded. I also let Reid take an easy foothold on the southern side of the city, and that one squad was enough to completely screw over my rout paths. My final grouping of squads held out heroically, but fell on the last American turn.
2017-05-14(A) Seumas Hoskins vs Dean German winAmerican opening was strong, quickly taking over the north block and encircling the Germans there as well as stealing the HMG. However, the second half of the game quickly fell apart as the American dice rolls spiked to 10s average on every IFT/MC. The game ended with every American squad either broken or locked in a melee that even on a 6-1 ratio couldn't kill the Germans.
2017-05-08(D) Louis Langdeau vs Andrew S German winBoth of us started with really hot dice, but my streak of good rolls kept going for far longer than Andy's. Coupled with an American battle plan that was a bit too conservative, it quickly led to a concession on turn 3 from the American side.
2017-05-08(D) Louis Langdeau vs Andrew S German winWe decided to give the scenario another shot since the first game was a bit one-sided. Am I ever glad we did. This was a barn burner of a game. The Germans positioned forward, fighting a delaying action, while the Americans managed to surround Colleville from all sides, pinching the Germans into a pocket. The game came down to four different melees on the last German turn. I managed to win one combat, leaving me with a single German 1st line squad in the southern buildings. Fantastic game.
2017-03-18(A) Dave Mareske vs Sarah Sacket American win
2016-12-17(D) Jeff B vs Bronson Barnhart German win3.25 hrsGerman HMG and MMG were well positioned to pound the center and make moving forward difficult for the Americans, while the fringe squads caused some rout issues on the sides. The 6+1 was an effective rally machine.

2013-04-01(D) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Anna Aleksanyan German winAmericans exhausted too early, so Germans stayed at building very comfortable.

2012-07-24(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe americans formed in a killer stack with 3 squads and one MMG in a stone building made some casualties among germans, whereas US reinforcements came from the north. Encirclment was quite perfecet but unexpectes german reinforcements from the south kept the americans at bay. Colleville will not fall this time.
German victory.
Casualties:
-US: 3 squads, 1 halfsquad
-German: 4 squads, 2 leaders
