Overview:

The week after D-Day, the 2nd Infantry Division was still not ready for the atatck on Hill 192. According to Captain Henry Caulder, a battalion adjutant in the 23rd, the officers leading the attack had not personally reconnoitered the ground and their briefing was conducted well to the rear where they could not see the objective they were about to attack, Added to this was the fact that Colonle Hurley Fuller, commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, believed that the M-1 Garand rifle wasted ammo and thus had his entire regiment equipped with the accurate but slower-firing Springfield rifle.
Attacker: American (23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division)

2022-01-15(D) Jeff B vs Steve Etzelmueller German winIf all goes well the Germans should prevail. They have a decided advantage in ML and terrain. But the Americans have the numbers, and the Germans a large front to protect with limited troops. They are a turn away from an American breakthrough with either one bad round of shooting, one broken MG, or one unlucky sniper hit. Our game saw the Americans have an extremely tough time crossing the G3-R8 lane. Being caught broken out there led to 1.5 squads surrendering, on top of the 3.5 other squads eliminated by German fire (at least a couple by KIA). With the numbers evened up, and the Germans having a decisive advantage in defensive position, the Americans called it a day after Turn 3. Somewhat entertaining, but way too small and dicey to be taken too seriously.
2021-10-25(A) manzoli andrea vs Galletto American win
2021-04-01(D) M T vs R.S. American winSetting up as the Germans required some work as the map is very cluttered - also very few good LOS opportunities for the Mortars. But the scenario is interesting and I think quite balanced. The Americans have double the number of troops, but they lack assault fire and have 6 morale compared to the German's 8. The Germans also have an interesting array of purchasable Fortifications with which to modify their defenses.
I played the Germans and lost due to a dismal PrepFire phase on the last turn, GO VPs on Level 2 were 12-11 for the Americans. On the other hand, we're playing the campaign and I have 15 APs for the next scenario to the Americans' 10, so there's still hope for campaign victory I think.
2021-03-04(D) Kai Glanz vs Jim Bishop German winA very nice scenario. The setup as the Germans and the options get you a little bit of a headache. The boards are very cluttered.
2020-10-15(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Francesco Berucci German winWe had a good time with this one, prepared german defence and bocage rules make up for and interesting challenge for both american and german player.
I will play this one gladly again.
