Overview:

On June 12th, to expand the Omaha Beach foothold, the 18th and 26th Infantry Regiments of the “Big Red One” launched a morning attack in the direction of Caumont. Initial progress was swift and the village of Sallen, 3km north of the objective, fell easily. But as dusk approached and the Americans tried to enter Caumont itself, they were hit by a counterattack comprised of infantry and assault guns from Panzerdivision 2. The battle raged in the fading light as the Germans pushed the Americans out of all but one small corner of the town. Early the next morning, having been reinforced with Shermans from the 743rd Tank Battalion, the 26th Infantry tried again.
Attacker: American (2nd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division / 743rd Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (Panzergrenadier-Regiment 304 / Panzerjäger Bataillon 38, Panzerdivision 2)

2022-06-12(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winGreat scenario, well balanced and fun for both sides! I sent a platoon and three M4s around Jim's left flank, a platoon and two M4s at the church (53P2) and the rest at Jim's right flank. Turns 1-2 went great, I took five buildings got into CC in the church, burned the JgPzIV and the PSK broke on its first shot, all for the cost of two M4s. In Turns 3-4, I took four more buildings but hit the teeth of Jim's skillful defense, lost a big melee in the church and another M4. Jim's reinforcements drove back my right flank platoon and 88LL fire drove me out of building P5. I had nine buildings at the end of Turn 5, but Jim had 24 CVP. My push to get three buildings in Turn 6 fell just short. I took took P2 and P5 in CC but a broken 237 held out in rowhouse O7L1 to seal Jim's win!
2021-09-11(A) patrick palma vs Russell Dewhurst American win
2021-09-01(A) Jacob Elmqvist vs Asad Rustum German win
2021-09-01(D) Asad Rustum vs Jacob Elmqvist German winThe Americans lost after hitting the CVP cap. Two Shermans were lost to the 88 and another to Street Fighting with additional help from ATMM. The German JgPz was recalled after rolling a 6 on a repair dr. The Germans set the DC with the help of the 9-2 and destroyed a 1 hex victory building enabling the Germans to focus their efforts to maintaining one building block only. Lots of fun!
2021-01-11(A) M T vs R.S. American winAmerican firepower carried the day, though to be fair my opponent did experience some phenomenally bad luck with his rolls. The required buildings were taken by Turn 4 and as the Germans saw no way to win any back through a counterattack, they conceded the game.
