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)

2023-01-21(A) Rich Weiley vs Eric Topp German winCanCon 2023 - Round 1.
2023-01-21(A) Shane Pask vs Dave Wilson American winCancon 2023. I was maybe a bit cautious with my armour. I gave up on capturing the large instant win building early. I captured 4 buildings then remembered his last hidden HS was still unaccounted for. I fully searched one - but the wrong one. The Hidden HS was upstairs in a building I left.
2021-10-03(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Luca Martini American winVery interesting scenario, the simultaneous setup and the random first player give an unique feeling.
You have to outguess your opponent, I partially made it while Luca squarely got my plan.
The game was hanging in Luca's favor when a 75 ART got a CH on a PzIVJ, shocked it and collateral killed the riding squad, then turned and canistered for a DR of 2 +5 two and half squad and a leader, the MMCs break while a sniker killed the leader, my opponent give me victory.
2021-07-13(D) Chuck Dye vs kevinkilleen American win
2021-04-08(D) X von Marwitz vs David Wallace German winA quick short 4 Turn scenario in which a dr decides whether the Germans or Americans move first. This might make it a bit dicey. Overall, though, the outcomes seem to be quite even with close to 30 wins for each side (as of April 2021).

I played the defending Americans in this one and our playing came down to the last CC roll. A full AAR can be reviewed at GameSquad forum under the follwing link:
