Overview:

An ad hoc group of roughly two parachute companies under Lt. Colonel Shanley were stopped cold on their drive toward the bridge at Pont L’Abbe. They fell back to high ground overlooking the Chef-Du-Pont crossing. The key element of the position was a standing patrol in a farm and road junction, blocking the road from the west to the bridge. At dawn on June 8th, the Germans made their most determined effort to take it. . . For two days, Shanley and his men fought off repeated German attempts to overrun the main paratrooper landings and contributed substantially to establishing the Merderet bridgehead. This action has been considered decisive in helping the airborne meet its objectives at Normandy.

2021-05-06(A) Simon Staniforth vs German winThe Germans pushed hard and had the village taken in T3 with all but one HS of the at start US forces captured or eliminated. The reinforcements came on T5 so an additional 3VP but they were met by concentrated German firepower which broke or KIAd 3.5 squads during the turn and with the German force largely untouched the US player resigned. Germans helped by some low rolls / ROF in the final Prep fire phase of the game
2021-01-01(D) Tripp Killin vs Sebastian Killin German winMy son has graduated from Starter Kit to full ASL with the playing of this scenario! (Obviously, the big changes where Concealment and Snipers.)
I suggested that he should limit Prep Fire and really push the tiny American force early. He did that, wiping me out of the buildings and off the hill handily. He matched my good fire attacks with passed MCs , and broke all my squads with Advancing Fire shots (except for the one he KIA'd with a PFPh CH by the ltMTR).
He had everything waiting for my reinforcements, who promptly broke like glass as they approached. I conceded on Turn 5.
"This game is easy, dad."
Just wait, my boy, just wait. :-)
2020-05-16(D) David Ramsey vs Simon Taylor American winAlways a great scenario for newer players or those coming back into the game. This one was in the balance throughout the game and only decided by a brutal prep fire phase by the Americans on the last turns of the game when the Germans pushed hard. Could have definitely gone either way.
2020-01-31(A) Ken Rutkowski vs Bill T. American winThe dice were definitely against me. Never rolled lower than an 8 the last two turns.
2020-01-24(A) David Ramsey vs Nic German winA re-introduction to ASL for Nic who restarted his ASL career with boxcars, followed by a 6 on his mortar fire & repair roll, and ended by receiving an 8 down 2 shot with me rolling snake-eyes. Seemed harsh!
