Overview:

The enemy meant to either drive the 502nd Parachute regiment back across the causeway or destroy the two battalions holding the ground around a local farm. The hedgerow terrain concealed the approaching enemy. German troops crept along the hedgerows, coming onto American positions at the crossroads with rifle and machine-gun fire. The thirty-five men there from 1st Battalion had to fall back in a hurry. But seven men held out, creating a small defensive island on the extreme right, holding on throughout the day.

2025-03-26(A) Stephen Stewart vs Mika German win

(VASL Log)		Close Assault Mini Tourney 2025 Round2

I had played this one once before and realized that the 447's just get destroyed if they come out of their cubby hole "protection" of the orchards. ( I think the Americans can win easily if they just full on setup for an Assault at the German setup corner)
NOTE: both American leaders were downgraded 1 level. 10-3 just eviscerates everything.

Actually started to dig foxholes...got one...just in case he attacked...Setup a 16fp shot on the middle building vs his 9-1mmg337...and got a lucky break.
Then just had the 447's for the rest of the game harass the enemy across the road from their setup area...

Reinforcements (548's) came on turn 3 I think...check the log. And I just simply decided to go for the 2 hex building...either we take it and win or break and die.

10-2 was hanging around the area, but the 548's (2 HOB's fromt he assault) secured the building while the 447's finally get a break on the defenders at the crossroads.
Tanks had no effect...they came on Turn 5 and the game was over at the end of that turn.

Fun map Good maneuver options. Quick...
2025-03-16(A) Craig Renier vs Neal Ekengren American winThe German's sat back waiting for reinforcements that did not show up until Turns 6 and 7. With no time to maneuver, the German infantry entered on Turn 6, mostly as a stack, and ran straight into the HIP'd American MMC. The result was a pinned leader and a fanatic squad with a Hero followed by a broken American squad. Certainly could have been worse. But the stack was stuck 2 hexes from where they needed to be. One other MMC moved into the edge stone building which was unoccupied. On Turn 7, a broken German HS actually self rallied, providing a unit to take another unoccupied stone building. Everything else was thrown at a 3rd stone building, occupied by a single American MMC. The German infantry had to pass multiple American units laying down residual and fire lanes. Amazingly, many of the Germans successfully moved adjacent to the last building and advanced into CC. In the CCPh, the Germans got ambush and then eliminated the American MMC. However, the Americans had plenty of FP to advance on and take the edge side stone building, guarded by a single German HS. In hindsight, knowing that the dice would save the attacker, the Germans should have left another squad in that building as well as parked an AFV to protect that building. But the German player was simply too frustrated by the reinforcement die rolls. I don't recommend this scenario as it depends almost entirely on when the reinforcements arrive.
2025-03-09(A) Jason Wert vs Gary Bartlett German winClose Assault Tourney - The Germans were helped out by extremely good luck in CC to hold out at the end for a win.
2025-03-06(D) Mark Thompson vs Paul Schaeffer (German) German win
2025-03-05(D) Steven Cummings vs Mathieu Ouellette American win

(VASL Log)		2 hrsMathieu did get his reinforcements until turn 6 and 7. By then the local garrison had been wiped out. He had to bum rush the H5 building in two turns, and just couldn't get there.
