Overview:

Dawn of 10 January held up hope for OKW that their stalled NORDWIND offensive was being reinvigorated. Hatten was largely theirs, and the neighboring village of Rittershoffen appeared lightly defended. Beyond those villages, the terrain was more suitable to panzers in this otherwise mountainous region. To complete the victory, fresh men and tanks from Panzer-Division 21 were committed. Despite the setbacks of the previous day, the Americans remained equally confident they could reestablish the original line east of Hatten. They too were committing new infantry, with the soldiers of 315th Infantry Regiment replacing the depleted battalions of the 242nd. Both sides gathered for an attack on the morning of 10 January, but the Germans struck first with an assault at 0800hrs, just a few minutes before the Americans.

2022-05-01(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Sergio Puzziello American winNice Scenario, My opponent lost one Panther early to a baz, and a PzIV to an HIP AVF, the other PzIV malf the MA on the very first shot and the last Panther was bagged in CC street fighting by one squad with leader, my opponent failed his personalm morale check.
2022-04-12(A) Tom Rodwell vs Lee Hyde-Sellars German winThe scenario is really interesting and in theory (and generally in practice) looks very well balanced. Unfortunately in our playing Lee had such consistently bad dice that it made it a very one-sided contest. The Germans launched their attack down the eastern row of buildings (the right hand side of the American defences) and quickly overran the first line of defence, despite some effective final protective fire. Two German tanks also ensured that the long straight main street running east - west was covered by fire making it hard for the Americans to adjust their defences and leaving their weaker right flank effectively isolated. The Germans pressed their attack aggressively, using VBM freeze to give the infantry freedom of movement to push west fast and screen ahead of two of their tanks supporting the assault. A combination of the German sniper killing the American 9-1, a MMG malfing, the American 8-1 rolling boxcars on a MC and wounding plus little material damage being done to the Germans made it a foregone conclusion and when one of Lee's 60mm mortars malfed on its first shot we called it a day. One to play again and hopefully with a fairer allocation of luck to both players.
2021-12-27(A) Paolo Cariolato vs Fabio Mazzucchelli German winI played this one back to back with a different opponent a switched sides.
I deployed four squad and pushed very hard on both flanks, A PzIV rode a squad with an LMG to interdict the westernmost building unfortunately for me both HIP TD were hidding up front and bagged a PzIV and a Panther, I lost some unit but the up front defense of my opponent was cut to pieces by my flanking units, by turn three the reinforcement destroyed the last Panther at the cost of another TD but the American was totally encircled and I had one and half squad controlling the buildings. Fabio surrendered.
2021-12-27(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Giancarlo Dell'Aquila American winVery nice scenario with tons of replay value.
My plan was to deny the westernmost building to the Germans, both immobilized TD were there, I sent three squads from the beginning in order to avoid problems. This left few squads for defence, anyway my opponent was very methodical so there was no real menace to my fighting retreat, the reinforcement bagged a PzIV and the HIP TD bagged the Panther sent to avenge the PzIV. Two more into the fight and my opponent surrender, he really had not hope to win.
