Overview:

The original German opening for the Battle of the Bulge was somewhat subdued. German infantry, with little armor support, was to seize key road junctions early so the armored formations could quickly pass through and exploit a breakthrough. One such place was the town of Buchholz, which sat alongside an abandoned railroad. It was held by a company of American infantry who were lined up for chow outside the town when a company of the German 27th Fusilier Regiment came down the road. Neither side expected to find the other here, and there was a dramatic moment of mutual surprise as both sides scrambled to deploy.
Attacker: German (Fusilier-Regiment 27, Volksgrenadier-Division 12)
Defender: American (Company L, 3rd Battalion, 394th Infantry Regiment, 99th Infantry Division)

2025-05-05(A) Fred Jordan vs Walter Fox American winAs the German, I attacked in the middle of Board 3 towards the village. The US gathered all its forces there, lightly protecting its flanks and managed to delay and inflict a few losses. On turn 6, I suddenly switched my axis of progression westward so as to benefit from the protection of the ridge shielding my troops from US troops in the village. The US halftrack was quickly sent to reinforce the crumbling US defense west of the ridge and managed to survive an incredible number of MG TK. In the end, the Germans could not exit any troops and did not manage to inflict sufficient casualties on the US forces so lost the game. Even if the game was long, it remained exciting until the last turn. I really liked it.
2022-09-11(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Duenskie, Ron American win
2021-11-26(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins American win
2021-11-26(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winMy Germans moved well along the backside of the close hill on Board 3. The Americans broke and ELR'd with frequency and Dan MALF'd 2 x MMG's and the 50 CAL. But the 50 CAL hurt me bad before it went away. I couldn't exit as Americans were covering the road. Going into Turn 6 , Dan and I were at 10 CVP Americans and 11 CVP Germans. I then rolled boxcars on back to back rallies and lost the game. ASL ain't always fun when your own rolls hurt you as much or more than they help you.
2021-01-18(D) nathan wegener vs Scott Martin German winClassic scenario - my Americans did well at first especially the sniper who racked up 4 CVP of his own. Sadly for me the Americans couldn't stand up once the Gemans started focusing their fire... Mental gymnastics to switch back to old school shoot and advance...
