Overview:

After several days of struggle, the City of Aachen-one of the first major towns to be threatened on the Western Front-was now completely enveloped. The veteran US 1st Infantry Division had approached from the south, while the 30th Infantry Division, a NG Unit known as "Old Hickory" had approached from the north. 5 kilos north of Aachen, the town of Wurselen was one of the few supply routes still open for the Aachen Garrison. Fighting was fierce in the northern sections, around the critical rail and road links, the 30th was pushing hard and the Panzer-grenadiers and armor for the Panzer-Division of the 116 "Windhund" (Greyhounds) responded to the pressure.

2022-05-01(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Massimiliano Colosimo German winI bagged the on map Americans on turn 1, they advanced too much and were encircled and routed (failing it) by my armor and infantry. I retreated slowly but some counterattack drove Americans out of the victory buildings.
Nice scenario.
2022-04-23(D) Richard Jenulis vs Anthony Flanagan German winBitter Ender 2022 open Play.
This was the craziest game I have ever played and with Mr. Flanagan, the most fun. Anthony and I have been friends for decades and I always look forward to our games. So after years of not playing, it was a great pleasure to play this loud mouth again. We diced for side and we used the same dice. These dice, seemingly only rolled 2 or 3 for both of us. If this was a play-test we would have thrown out the results because it was such a rollercoaster ride. As it was, it came down to the last CC of the game. Big Fun!
2022-01-07(A) Simon Staniforth vs American winROAR currently has this 24-10 pre German so a tough test for the Americans and so it proved. The outer buildings were cleared by T3 leaving another 3 turns to assault the stone building VC area manned by those tough 8 moral troops, including the reinforcements. I had though largely kept the initial on board forces out of any main thrust up to this point (I figured if they go down early you are highly unlikely to win as the Americans) and as they came into the game, they were able to set up some limited encirclement shots to the Germans disadvantage. A slow grind in, lots of Smoke use helped by a mild breeze springing up, and decided in the final half turn with 2 Close Combats the Americans winning both although holding in Melee would have been enough. Always a good game when goes to the last CC.
2021-12-07(D) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd German winThe initial US press was stalled. A platoon stack of Americans broke and was surrounded by some enterprising Germans on east flank. Loosing that stack and three tanks forced the Americans to concede. This is a tough on the Americans. Tank support needed and their weak SMOKE chances.
