Overview:

By 8 April, Company I, 397th Regiment, 100th Infantry Division had advanced deep into the factory area on the northern skirts of Heilbronn. Here, the unit met stiff resistance from a fortified brick house manned by German rifleman and a heavy machine gun. As the obstacle was holding up the advance of 2nd and 3rd Battalions, an artillery strike was requested to reduce this strongpoint. After this attack proved mostly ineffective, a squad led by Sergeant Richard C. Olsen maneuvered through an adjacent factory to have a go at the building. As the unit approached the house, one of the more popular men in the squad, a scout named Private Henry C. Perkins, 'An amiable farmer' from Kentucky, was killed as he attempted to scale a wall flanking the building. This death so infuriated the men of Sgt. Olsen's squad that they launched a furious, all-out assault on the German defenders. Through a fierce combination of machine gun fire, point blank bazooka shots, and ant-tank grenades, the squad breached the front of the house, capturing nine occupants and killing the rest. Perkins' fellow scout, Private James E. Van Damme, would be awarded the Silver Star for his valor in leading the breach. With this obstacle cleared, Company L took the lead in advancing further toward the center of the city with the objective of linking up with elements of 1st Battalion proceeding north from the area around St. Kilian's.

2024-10-09(D) John Garlic vs Bob Bendis German winVC very tough for Americans. They had a solid attack, but Germans were able to slowly nip CVP to get to CVP cap.

2024-08-18(A) neal ekengren vs German winThis is an OK take the buildings scenario. However..............VC makes it almost impossible for USA. They have to basically wipe out all the germans to control an area inside a road boundary without losing 24 CVP. That is quite a task given 7 turns and lots of real estate and lots of Germans.
