Overview:

For the remainder of 10 January, the Germans focused their efforts on securing defensive positions while aligning themselves for an assault on Rittershoffen via a sunken road originating from the northwest of Hatten. The American counterattack earlier in the day along the main road had failed. A second one, targeting the southern section of Hatten, came later on 10 January. Key locations for the American attack included the railway station and the road adjacent to the cemetery. This road was a critical supply route for the German units in Hatten.

2022-11-21(A) M T vs V K American winGood scenario to learn the Hillock rules for the EmRR. It was an extremely bloody battle, with the Americans barely pulling out a victory with horrendous casualties. The ATG took out three of the four Shermans, so not the best AFV play by me.

We used the German balance, so marking this play as a duplicate.
2022-09-24(A) Stephen dedier vs Gene Patterson German winCan't say i loved this one even with the win. The Germans had the dice the whole game (including an incredible run where the Americans missed with 4 consecutive smoke tries). German AT gun flamed one Sherman, shocked another and immobilized a third in a turn and a half. The 4th was flamed by an SMC getting a PF. Gene was a bit timid initially and didn't get as much help from the smoke as needed.
The Americans pushed up the middle with significant losses and didn't have enough to make the run on the graveyard in the end.
2022-05-21(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval American win
2022-05-21(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval American winUsed German balance. American infantry took out AT Gun, no AFV losses in spite of multiple PF checks that incredibly failed.
2021-01-09(D) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown American winHard Defense for Germans. Broke AT gun 2nd shot attempt, never recovered it. Had a CCV melee last 10 rolls and not resolve before game end. Great smoke/WP use by US allowed for a solid end game push on grave yard and a win.
