Overview:

Although the airborne portion of the “Market-Garden” Operation centered around the seizure of vital bridges, heavy fighting also occurred over control of the highway leading to the bridges as well. While parts of the 82nd Airborne fought to gain control of the bridges at Nijmegen, other elements fought for control of the Kleve-Nijmegen highway. One of the major objectives in the control of this road was Hill 75.9, better known as “Devil’s Hill”. Even though German security troops operating in this area were few in number, when concentrated on the defense of a natural strongpoint, these troops put up strong resistance. Such was the case when Company A of the 508th Parachute Regiment moved out to take Devil’s Hill.
Attacker: American (Company A, 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)

2023-03-01(D) Grant Hewitt vs Michael Hastrup Leth American winI realised in turn 2 that I hadn't set up the HIP foxholes in the allowable locations specified in the scenario card, but we continued anyway, for fun.
2021-12-25(D) Craig Renier vs Jeff Wright German winThe Americans moved without smoke cover which cost them. The German MGs rolled low and kept rate breaking and eliminating the attackers. The Americans continued to press. Mid-game the Americans were able to break and clear the Germans from all the foxholes, but were too far away to capitalize on the success. German reinforcements cycled back into the fortifications stalling the American advance leading to an eventual German victory.
2021-10-29(A) Craig Renier vs Chris Hofland German winThe Americans made good progress initially despite some tactical errors. Mid game two foxholes had been captured, but the third was well defended. On Turns 5 and 6 the Americans failed smoke attempts preventing them from being able to advance under cover. The German attacks slowly whittled down the American forces when, on German Turn 6, the Americans were left with only 2 Good Order MMCs and no viable path to the last foxhole.
2021-10-09(D) Will Willow vs D. Pulhamus German winTotal dicing of the Americans led to a turn 4 concession. No fun in that. Would play it again though.
2021-09-17(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier American winAmericans had an effective assault slowly and surely eliminating the German defense. The Americans were able to get behind the hill taking out the option of a reverse slope defense.
