Overview:

By Christmas Eve, PanzerArmee 5’s attack had lost steam. Christmas morning dawned clear and bright, and ensuing Allied air activity restricted German ability to reinforce units that had made the deepest penetrations toward the Meuse River. Panzer-Division 2 in particular had been engaged for several days with its American counterpart, the 2nd Armored Division, under command of General Ernst Harmon. British XXX Corps was also reinforcing the Americans with a flanking maneuver near Dinant in an effort to cut the narrow corridor made by the Panzers. Four miles from the Meuse, at the peaceful farming village of Foy-Notre-Dame, the reconnaissance battalion of Panzer-Division 2 attempted to escape and ran into advancing elements of 2nd Armored Division attempting to clear the area.

2026-09-10(A) Douglas Leslie vs Daniel Sullivan American winPlayed in Round Two of the "Some Like it Hot" tournament. It was SLOW going in the early stages for the Americans but their armour is a great combination of speed, firepower and difficulty to hit, particularly when the opposition keeps rolling boxcars when shooting at them. The attackers managed to take down all of the German AFVs at a cost only two stunned vehicles, both of which survived. The only loss came at the end during a charge at the German HMG position when small target size proved to be irrelevant against an ATMM. Fun scenario that I would be happy to play with either side.

2025-12-13(D) Allen Evenson vs Dan Owsen German winWe called it after 4 Game Turns due to time. Germans had 10 exit VP but Americans were closing in on the Buildings - we figured it would be close but felt the Germans had a slightly better chance (60%) of the win. Really fun game for our 2025 PSASL Bulge Fest meet-up against one of the OG PSASL guys I don't get to play enough!
2024-07-04(A) Daniel Soukup vs Patrick German winGreat scenario. I nearly failed my personal morale check after nearly all AFV, halftracks and vehicles were destroyed after 2 turns, but the game came down to the wire. Americans could have won if I played the turn 5 MPh better. Would definitely like to play again.
