Overview:

By Christmas day, the Ardennes offensive was stalling near Celles. Bastogne was still encircled, but Millikin’s III Corps was moving up to try to break the siege. As the assault of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division had been thrown back at Champs, and C-47s were now dropping supplies to the “Battlin’ Bastards of Bastogne”, the Screaming Eagles and the rest of the Bastogne garrison felt renewed hope. However, the going was getting more difficult for the 4th Armored Division’s Combat Command R as they attempted to break through the German perimeter.
Attacker: American (Combat Command R, 4th Armored Division)

2011-10-06(D) Edward Fritz vs Sean Deller German winI played this one in the ASLOK Deluxe mini-tournament. I think I might have broken it though. After the game, I talked with some folks who had played it earlier. The consensus was that the roadblocks should be used to protect the non-emplaced AT guns. I setup the roadblocks far in the front to slow the American movement. This setup forced the Americans offroads early and slowed the advance to the point where they really need another turn to meet the victory conditions. I like the "smash through" feel this scenario requires, but I think putting the roadblocks at the edge of the German setup area prevented the Americans from smashing through.
