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.

2024-11-13(A) Itinerant Hobbyist vs Rich T German winRich spread out his defense and I took advantage and rushed forward on the far left side. He took out 3 tanks in one Phase on turn 2 after getting rate 4 times!

2023-09-20(A) Todd Cox vs German win1 Hellcat broke MA on the very first attack role of the game. Eventually got it back working but not soon enough. Germans exited 4 AFV off map in the 5th turn.
2023-09-02(A) Yuqi Xiong vs Format German winA game about hiding and running. After figuring out where the 2 hellcats were and destroying 1, my remaining 5 tanks sneaked out of the map.
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.
