Overview:

5 CG Dates -- In early January 1945, German High Command launched an ambitious offensive on the Western Front aimed at encircling the U.S. 7th Army in the French province of Alsace. After an initial rebuff in the northern sector, German Panzer-Korps XXXIX, consisting of Panzer-Division 21 and Panzergrenadier-Division 25, sought to break through American lines in the vicinity of the twin villages of Hatten-Rittershoffen. Victory would allow the Germans access to the open plains in the heart of Alsace. Mixed units from 42nd and 79th Infantry Divisions and 14th Armored Division were deployed to defend the villages. Between 9-13 January, a crucial battle was fought in the village of Hatten.

2021-04-16(A) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers American winConceded at end of fourth scenario, when it became evident that I would not be able to hold the minimum six VP locations for a win.
2021-01-31(A) Doba Serge vs Pascal Boileau German win
2021-01-31(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba German winThe five days were required to end the CG. During the first 3 days, German troops were able to progress swiftly and controlled 6 locations at this date. The fourth day was a stalemate and the German progression was halted. On the fifth day, American troops pushed very hard on 2 locations and the German defense was near to collapse on the Northern one but the defense finally stands with the 2 Flammpanzers that come to the rescue.. In the last turn, I was short of 1-2 hexes to gain control of at least one location. Congrats to Serge for his German victory after a fierce fight !
2020-09-08(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Matt Velazquez German winTried the other side against Matt in his first campaign game. The americans weren´t prepared for a blitz and got completely overrun day 1. Had trouble getting back in day two and after losing almost all of their armour the american high command decided Hatten wasn´t worth fighting over and withdrew.
2020-05-17(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Matias Dahlbäck American win
2020-05-17(A) Matias Dahlbäck vs Vilis Pavulans American winAmerican win after German player conceded at the end of Day 2.

German side had a slow advance on Day 1, losing quite a bit of material for little gains. At the end of Day 2 the Americans had amassed a material advantage of tanks, mortars and trigger happy infantry, knocking the wind out of any further German advances.

It was a fun game, our first stab at the campaign scene, and lot of action, mishaps and unlikely outcomes.
2020-04-10(D) Tom Kearney vs Alan Saltzman American winThe CG ended at the end of the 3rd day. The Germans had dominated the three eastern objectives and finally managed to dominate the D13, but at a heavy cost. US forces were ready to mount a counter offensive on 12 Jan but the German decided to resign as he saw no hope of dominating another two objective areas.
2019-05-01(D) David Yllanes vs juanjo American winJuanjo has a good first day but he makes the mistake of not selecting an attack chit on the second. My having the first turn allowed me to push him out of the northernmost objective and consolidate my position. Little advances in days 3 and 4. On day 5, Juanjo needs to take 2 victory points and he makes a big push from the northern area, taking that objective and trying to get to the town centre. But this allows me to recapture the station in the south.
