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. . .

2020-09-27(A) Pascal Boileau vs Karim Drici American winThe game was equilibrated for 2 turns. During turn 3, the Germans lost 3 AFV (ROF of the 2 TD was maintained and CH achieved the job). On turn 4, I managed to malfunction 2 MA of the 4 last German AFV. At the end of turn 5, one more AFV was destroyed by a bazooka manned by an American hero and a last one by a CH also with a bazooka.. Then I conceded !

2020-03-03(A) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German winI had the Germans with the SS as the balance. That didn't really make a difference. My troops went in on my right flank. His first shot with an M 18 was a critical hit that set my Pz IV on fire. After that, it was all German. I used SMOKE to screen my moves and I also stunned his other M 18 with IFT fire. I then was able to follow up on that M 18 and destroy it.
That opened up a flank and he was unable to move to block me and I got 4 AFVs off by turn 5.
Great game, though.
2019-12-16(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best American wincame down to the last bazooka shot at an exiting tank. The Americans flamed the last tank and secured the win.
2018-03-28(A) Jeff B vs Phil Wentworth German winMy opponent and I decided to switch sides and I tried my hand as the attacking Germans. His setup looked fairly similar to mine, with most of the US infantry clustered amongst the central woods and a couple outlying units on each of the flanks. Who knew where the tanks were. I decided to make the standard north edge push behind the hedge. Both his tanks turned out to be in the south, so he brought them both onboard to reposition his first turn. One made a bold move to go hulldown behind the wall. Had he survived it would've made for a nice position but, alas, he did not. The other tank positioned itself behind the hedges awaiting any further German push from the north. I swung two tanks around to the southern side along with a squad and LMG as protection. The rest of the men and vehicles inched their way forward behind the hedge. My plan was to have the tanks lay smoke cover and advance the infantry forward to try and take out his last tank with PFs, but I got a bit careless with one of my southern tanks and ended up in LOS of his Hellcat. Not wanting to leave him hanging out to dry, I moved up another tank behind the hedge. His Hellcat still had not shot as he was facing north and knew I would probably try and move another tank in its scopes to triangulate on him. He blasted the first that tried such a move and maintained ROF. But in shooting at the second tank he MALFd his MA and it was all but over at that point.
