Overview:

Always close enough to the battle to maintain his reputation as an action reporter, “Papa” Ernest Hemingway had become close friends with the commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment, Colonel Charles Lanham. Lanham wanted to make sure Hemingway had something to write about without getting killed trying to find it. After personally leading a stalled attack against “Black Man” Ridge, Lanham and the 22nd would find the sharp end among the firs near Brandscheid, while his writer-friend sipped captured German cognac from a hilltop observation post.

2021-09-23(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wilson German (SS) winThe SS hunkered down in the victory building and survived a heavy barrage from the tank destroyers. My opponent suffered heavy leader casualties which left him with no leaders by about turn 5. His final push for the victory building collapsed in the face of the flamethrower and a timely snakes on a 4 -1 advancing fire shot that eliminated a hero and one of the few remaining good order US squads.

2014-12-15(D) Lee Bray vs American winI set up with two of the bunkers covering the roads in front of the VC building and the other two in the woods with wire and mines to delay the attackers. All went reasonably well for a few turns with the Germans falling back slowly, but it all went wrong around T4 when I felt the centre was rather weak and tried to reposition. This exposed the Germans to US firepower too much and everything broke. By the end game there were few Germans left and I conceded. decent scenario which I'd play again.
2014-07-28(A) Andy Beaton vs Jonathan Kay American winGermans were killing Americans en masse until the firelane malfed and the key defenders failed an FPF. That finished the defence and the Germans conceded.
