Overview:

By dusk on the 14th, the Germans had established three bridgeheads across the Meuse River. The 15th brought the next stage: the breaking of the last major elements which stood between them and the great plains of France. One point of the last line of defense was the village of Bouvellemont. Here, one regiment of the 15th Division proved too much for the German 1st Infantry Regiment and the attack soon bogged down. With more than half of their officers killed and many of the companies at half strength from fatigue as well as losses, the regimental commander, Colonel Balck, realized that for the attack to continue, he would have to lead the final assault himself.

2024-01-25(A) Asad Rustum vs Grant Linneberg French win
2023-12-04(A) Shane Pask vs German winDrew card 2 (Control buildings). By the end of turn 2 both French guns were malfed and both French MMG were out of action. By turn 4 both guns were back in service, by turn 7 both crews were gone but both MMG were back in service with the French. The French sniper took care of the FOO and my sniper opened up S3 on turn 8 but the French managed to move a surviving gun crew into the building to secure it.
Turn 9 was crazy with each roll seeming to affect who would win: A French squad rallied from DM to hold Y8. My HS approaching Y8 was killed with PB DFF. The heroic 10-2 then had to leave X3 to attack Y8. DFF MMG fire sent him (and a squad) berserk as he set off. PB SFF from Y8 wounded the leader and reduced the squad but FPF broke all remaining defenders when the HS entered the building. This gave me 3 buildings and potential victory.
French Prep at S3 (at no risk now of falling to the Germans) set off the French sniper which pinned both the squad and HS in T7. The last active French squad and 9-1 in U6 then had to attack over the hill to an empty X3 which was covered by 1 1/2 squads, an LMG and 8-1 leader (they had failed to recover the French MMG whose manning squad they had dealt with in AF last turn) or attack T7. They picked T7, survived all defensive fire and needed to roll a 4 in CC for the win. They rolled a 5.
2022-08-14(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winUsed French balance. Germans managed to completely avoid one of the Guns and quickly silenced the one in their path. VC dr was 3, for Control of buildings. Had 2 by Turn 6 and clear path to victory with only 2 French HS left to stop the aggressors.
