Overview:

On the same day that the USAAF began its massive attacks on Aachen, the reserve 120th Infantry Regiment – which had taken Bardenberg without opposition the day before – suddenly found itself trapped by a battalion of the 108th Panzer Brigade, which had infiltrated the village seemingly out of nowhere. Could bazookas stop the tanks in the street?. . .

2026-05-29(A) Tripp Killin vs Phil Watkins German winUsed this to learn the air support rules. We also learned that the American's face some difficult choices at set up: keep your forces combined and risk the Germans setting up in your midst and ravaging your forces on turns 1 and 2 or; spreading into a few groups and letting only a portion of your forces get ravaged on turns 1 and 2. If you choose the first option and the Germans don't set up in your midst, you should be ok. If you choose the second option, you might be ok regardless of German choices.

Sadly, Phil chose option 1, I set up in his midst and just absolutely ravaged him. We had the Air Support show up on Turn 3 to end the rout and learn the Air Support rules. Basically, we agreed if the American's can keep a decent amount of force alive until the FB's show up, and perhaps join some forces, they could win. We'd both play again.
2024-09-20(A) Will Willow vs Dave Lamb American winGakked my setup but still made it interesting. Museumfest.
2023-06-06(D) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon American win
2021-04-19(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2020-08-22(A) Jeff B vs Shaun Andrews German win2.75 hrsBeing the last scenario from the first four modules I hadn't played, I was keen to play this. Now I know why it hasn't seen a lot of play. While the setup is interesting, I just don't see how the Americans stand a chance. Americans conceded by the end of Turn 2.
