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.

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!
2019-12-15(A) B-E Karlsson vs American German win
2019-05-02(A) Tom Kearney vs Lindsey Murillo German winThings started out badly for my attacking Germans and I soon found myself down 6 CVP to nothing. I kept up the pressure though, and soon knocked out the German mortar and MMG positions with help from a platoon that made and extreme flanking move. By the time the US reinforcements arrived on turn 5 I had guys on top of the hill interdicting their movement. After a few key breaks the Germans surrendered.
