Overview:

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)

2021-01-05(D) Maurizio Mai vs Steve Worrel German winNice 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.
2019-10-19(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2019-10-18(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winMy 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.
2017-04-16(D) Jeff B vs Lionel Colin American winThe 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.
2017-03-30(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval American win
