Overview:

Christmas Day found the American garrison at Bastogne surrounded. The Germans marked the holiday with an assault on the hitherto quite northwestern perimeter – with Bastogne as the goal. Kampfgruppe Maucke split up at dawn, with the smaller element moving north to bypass Champs. It unknowingly advanced to a collision with B and C Companies of the 502nd Parachute Infantry. . .
Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier-Regiment 115 and Panzer-Abteilung 115, Panzergrenadier-Division 15)
Defender: American (B, C and HQ Companies, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division and 705th Tank Destroyer Battalion)

2023-04-13(A) nathan wegener vs Voss Graham German winNorth side rush into a hidden M18. Lost one Pz4 in DFPH and one in his next prep but no ROF which saved me when my stug took him out.
Had to run a bazooka gauntlet but was able to smoke him to escape.

2022-11-23(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon American winOnly 3 AFVs got off the board, and the US inflicted more CVP than the Germans, so well done US :)
2022-09-20(A) Craig Renier vs Jim Vasiliou German winThe American defense was lined up nearly exclusively along the east side of Board 19, blocking all the exit routes. The Germans advanced quickly along the north side of the boards, using the hedges to block LOS. The infantry offloaded just before the woods in the center and moved carefully forward hoping to break a couple forward American units and to flush out the American AFVs. The American picket broke early and an American AFV revealed itself with a shot that turned a Panzer into a burning wreck. The Germans continued along the north side hoping to bypass the bulk of the defenders who were rushing to cover the exits on that side. The Germans were touched with a stroke of luck when a wind DR resulted in a mild breeze blowing East. This gave the Germans a perfect chance to lay a sizable smoke screen. The American AFVs reacted by moving just East of the smoke. But one AFV was Stunned with infantry fire and the other bogged. In CC, the Germans wrecked the Stunned AFV and in the American MPh, the bogged AFV Mired. See that the Germans were free to outflank the infantry to the south and exit easily, the Americans conceded.
2021-07-18(A) Ken Rutkowski vs Bill T American win
2021-05-21(A) David Garvin vs Richard Jenulis American winFor CASLO XXV. Rich had his GMC's in a great spot, amplified by some timely rates of fire and keeping concealment. I moved in for the kill on his GMCs when the second one opened up and sealed the win.

Great fun!
