Overview:

One of the tentative attempts to cross the Moselle River in eastern France was made south of Metz by the former forts of the Maginot Line. On the morning of the 8th September, a crossing was made under fire near the village of Dornot, and a bridgehead was established. In the afternoon, Companies F and G from the 2nd Battalion, 11th IR started to advance to take the ancient French fort of St Blaise, located in front of the bridgehead at the top of a wooded hill. Despite the confusion persistent in the bridgehead, the units made good progress against light opposition, but were stopped by the fortifications and by artillery barrages both friendly and enemy. At this moment German counterattacks from the north and south began, and the only chance to escape encirclement for the two companies was to fight their way back to the river.

2023-02-03(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Gaetano Girelli German / German (SS) winVery good tournament scenario.
2022-12-27(D) Chuck Dye vs kevinkilleen German / German (SS) winplays tighter than it initially looks
2022-10-27(A) manzoli andrea vs Paolo De Francesco German / German (SS) win
2022-10-27(A) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler American winWow! What a tight scenario.

A company of Americans look like they will barge through a
platoon and a half of Germans. The Kavallerie of two German
platoons arrive on turns 3 and 4 to stem the tide.

Initially the US has to make their way through a mass of woods...it feels like one is moving in wet cement.

Rob's Germans played a good fall-back defense, and faced some tough "should I stay or should I go?" decisions.

I was ready to resign on my last turn, but found a way to squeeze out a victory.

On paper, it looks a bit pedestrian scenario. Our playing was
anything but.
2022-09-30(A) Lawrence Spangler vs Diane Spangler German / German (SS) win
