Overview:

On December 20th, 1944, the Germans encircled the Bastogne garrison and began the siege of the small town in the Ardennes region. The garrison had little chance to defend itself against such a resolute enemy who, eventhough they lacked adequate supply, did receive a massive airdrop on the 23rd and knew that Patton’s 3rd Army vanguard was closing from the south. After the refusal of surrender offered by the Germans, the Germans prepared an attack supported by a kampfgruppe from the 15th Panzer Division. On December 25th the attack began at dawn, in the vicinity of the town of Champs, and was carried out by units of the 26th Volksgrenadier-Division.
Attacker: German (PanzerAbteilung 15 and PanzerGrenadierRegiment 15)

2024-10-27(A) nathan wegener vs Wes Vaughn German winSimultaneous setup and random first move make this an interesting and unique situation. Only 4 turns for the German so they need to be aggressive. Our game was the last one in a long weekend of ASL so both sides made a few mistakes. My attack was blessed as the early American shots weren't effective allowing the Germans to get a toehold on three close buildings. The Germans need to use their smoke assets and snoogie-power to extend their force capability. Our game went down to the last dice roll of the 4th turn. I was able to get a successful 4:1 CC attack on a sole remaining US leader in the 4th building to secure the win. Definitely replayable for both sides.
2024-10-11(D) Michael Rodgers vs Pete Mudge American win2 hrsThis is the meatiest four turn scenario I have ever seen. I had better than average dice to help me win. Can you believe 3 canister shots from the two guns (having a C4) before they had none?
