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.

2022-12-27(A) Stephen dedier vs Gene Patterson American winI felt pressed for time and got too aggressive with the Germans and paid the price.
60mm mortar went on a rate tear and broke 2.5 squads.
Sniper landed on a stack with 9-1 and 3 squads, killed the 9-1, then broke 2 squads on LLMC and pinned the 3rd.
I got aggressive with my tanks trying to free my HT from a situation with 2 hellcats but the 3rd was in the same area and went on a rate tear and took out one MkIV, the Panther and was going to get the prep on the 3rd MkIV. At that point, i didn't have the infantry to get the buildings needed since it was going into turn 4 for the Germans.
Good positioning of the Hellcats by Gene fooled me into thinking one would have been on the other side of the board.

2022-05-30(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winUsed German balance. Fun, more so when you win!
2022-05-30(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval German winFun scenario overall. Balance seems pretty good. Had some heroes, MA malfs, a few burning wrecks and some eliminated for failure to routs. Recall by sniper proved to be the straw that broke the American camels back. Good times!
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.
