Overview:

The 2nd Panzer Division had made the most progress during the Ardennes offensive, and was positioned a mere 6 kilometers from the Meuse River. General Harmon, the 2nd Armored Division commander, contacted headquarters for permission to attack and, after a convoluted series of messages, received permission for a limited counterattack. Harmon responded, "The bastards are in the bag."

2017-12-09(D) Vic Lauterbach vs JM American winIf you have time (four afternoons in our case), this is ASL as its best! I picked off two M4s early, but the FBs took out a PzV and an H9 side turret hit got another. The US came through the gap left by my lost Panthers and into the village with a small force climbing the west side of the Board 39 hill. I only got one 80 OBA FFE before the 7-0 drew two red chits. Without that threat, the US AFVs on high ground went CE which helped them get hits. I lost all the AFVs in my initial setup by GT5 except one PzV (and the PzIV wasted in the blocking force on Board 39 - it ran out of gas). I used the surviving PzV and the two PzIVs that enter to cover west exit area while the JgPz covered the center, and the SPWs took the 5-4-8s into the 24V-W woods. My plan was to retake building S7 or U4, but US OBA and 90L hits foiled me. A PzV MA malfunction and turret hit that killed a HD PzIV on GT6 left just one PzIV covering the west exit route. Lots of M3s drove off, and the last building R4 fell on GT7. This was a return to full ASL for Jim (after two SK warm-ups), so I gave him the balance. He got 77 VP off, making this one pretty close and an absolute blast to play!
2013-07-12(A) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque American winThe Americans have so many AFV. The Panthers must get protection from the German AA. I think the Germans need the balance.

2011-05-20(A) Andy Beaton vs American winToo much towards the exit VP's, the buildings were a close run thing
