Overview:

Three infantry divisions were to attack in the first wave in the 6th Panzer Armee sector. Their mission was to break through the American lines and secure Rollbahn A, the planned route of advance for the 12th SS Panzer Division. The Rollbahn ran along a forest trail that ran from Hollerath, through the Krinkelt Woods, connecting to the road junction at Rocherath-Krinkelt. One of the infantry divisions was the 277th Volksgrenadier Division, a newly formed unit that was moved to the Ardennes in November 1944. Short on training, 277th VGD was made up mostly of ex-Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe personnel, and was lacking junior officers and NCOs. Opposing them in this sector was the equally green U.S. 99th Infantry Division.
Attacker: German (Grenadier-Regiment 989, Volksgrenadier-Division 277)
Defender: American (Company K, 393rd Infantry Regiment, 99th Infantry Division)

2025-04-28(A) Andy Bagley vs Oyvind Bjorkas American win3.5 hrsVery good scenario and a close and exciting game, which went down to the last CCPh. The Americans set up their PFZs in the central woods area, rather that thinning out the orchards to create fire lanes, which surprised me but ended up working well. I sent my main attack down the north flank; this worked well and made good progress, swiftly capturing the three VC locations on that side. My smaller attack on the southern flank quickly ran into trouble however, which meant I had to bring troops across the map from north to south to help. Here they found their progress hampered by PFZs, so weren't able to get across in sufficient numbers to make the difference. Skilfully defended by the Americans.

2024-06-23(D) Paul Legg vs Bob Eburne American winDouble One 2024 Main Round 3

Bob's approach was cautious in this one which, when the low morale of the Americans came into play, didn't leave him enough time to exploit the breaches.
2024-03-15(D) Len Kay vs Larry Flaherty American win[Imported from ROAR]
2023-07-05(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German winMy friend did a great job with his PFZ allotment that basically denied me a meaningful push down the north side. That was fine as I had already decided the heavily wooded southern section was the place to go. Both of our dice were hot, but with a crummy six morale, even pot shots by my units were dangerous to the Americans. They passed way more MC's that they should have, but enough broke so that I was able to swarm and eliminate them due to FtR. The southern section soon crumbled and my men mopped up the remaining Americans as my Germans pushed north.
