Overview:

Lieutenant Colonel Holton had three experienced companies available to him from the 2nd Battalion, 315th Infantry Regiment, for the defense of Hatten. They were supported by a platoon of M18 Hellcats, ably led by Lieutenant Robert Jones. The Germans, their eyes fixed on the neighboring village of Rittershoffen, launched a series of spoiling attacks on each of these companies, with the goal of ensuring the Americans in Hatten did not interfere with German plans to attack Rittershoffen. Smaller German attacks fell on E and F Companies positioned in the southern portion of the village. The greater German effort, supported by a number of panzers, fell on G Company in western Hatten in and around “The Fort”. This location was the American defensive position closest to the intended German attack route from Hatten to Rittershoffen.

2022-02-02(A) O Ramaille vs Macari Samuel German winThe German main force entered from the East with a flanking platoon coming from the North. The German panzers moved in force trying to outflank the victory area but 2 hidden M36 tank destroyers welcomed them. The two Panzer IV and one halftrack were left burning but the US tanks did not survived the Panther. The wrecking blaze provided a lot of cover for the German infantry who forced its way to the fort. The remaining halftracks forced VBM and ended as blazing wreck in the middle of the US defense. Meanwhile, the flanking platoon provoked some failure to rout before collapsing. MG fire from the Panther broke a US strongpoint with two squads that opened the way to the West. Rough hand-to-hand melee occurred in several places sometimes ended by a blazing fire that eliminated them all. Despite the remaining M36 tank, the defending US troops were unable to hold the ground. The German were victorious but suffered heavy casualties.
2021-01-13(A) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown American winRouge mess of a 1st turn for both side...SAN 3 action sees a GMC Recalled and the best German ldr dead. Overun by Pather sees it bog and then immobilize...and so on. In the end the Americans collapse defense works with what they had left. Odd game
2020-10-10(A) Andy Beaton vs Scott Fischbein American winYou'd think the number of bullets I threw at 6 morale troops would have accomplished something in time to get further but no, the Americans stood firm and spent their time breaking up my forces. I started to feel hope when one M36 malfed its gun and the other two fell to the Panther in one fire phase, but it was too late.
2020-10-10(D) Scott Fischbein vs Andy Beaton American winAnother vASLOK slugfest! Some stalwarts American units and a berzerker took out some key units thus ending the German assault. Thoroughly enjoyable game with a great opponent. ASLOK record now at 2-3.
2020-06-27(A) Will Willow vs I. Ainsworth American winDouble One VASL
