Overview:

It will never be known who ordered the charge. Perhaps it was Colonel Burnette, who was mortally wounded as his men neared the 100 foot bridge. Perhaps it was simply the sight of Lt. Edwards' tanks edging across the unblown span that drew the men forward. Amidst a shower of shot and shell, a small band of brave GIs, supported by three Shermans, burst across a bridge "faster than they knew how" and then hunkered down to defend the narrow approach. . .

2023-11-19(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German winThe US OBA is the key to this old "rogue" SL conversion. Jim called it in on 1P1 and 1O2, killed a StuG and stopped my 9-1 led 548s cold. We traded AFVs as I pushed the 8-1 led 467s up to building 1G1. Fortunately, Jim drew a red chit then broke the radio in GT4 and was never able to repair it. Without OBA support, I was able to clear the 7H10 and 7L9 woods then pin the GIs against the river in 1I9 and 1K9. Without a rout path, his 9-2 and 667 with surrendered when broken. The US 149 and 8-1 died in CC, and that was the game. Jim: I should have been aggressive with the Shermans and forced Vic to fight away from the river. Tanks are expendable and real estate is precious in this one. It's a fun fight that favors the US with the OBA and the Germans w/o it. We had a broken vehicle crew low crawl into 7oI8 and agreed it was eliminated for exiting the map by SSR 2 which states the bridge is "not in play" but it would be simpler to crop board 7. Note: Both the river and the town are spelled 'Nied.'
2021-12-30(D) M T vs T.L. American winMy perimeter defense managed to hold, though I was greatly aided by some fantastic Sniper rolls - both of the German Leaders were eliminated by Snipers! Having lost three AFVs, being leaderless and with about a half of his remaining MMCs broken the German player understandably threw in the towel after the fifth turn.

This was my second ever game with OBA. I probably wouldn't recommend the scenario for practicing the artillery rules, as the board is very dense with obstacles and lacking in visilibity. You also start very close to the opposition.
2020-03-28(A) Simon Staniforth vs German win
2013-08-09(A) Jeff T vs JVan German winI started out with the mixed group, Stugs and infantry on the random entry chit draw. In my first advancing fire phase, 2 of them rolled boxcars and it looked bleak for the Germans. However it turned out that the Germans have too much firepower and I quickly took out 2 of his 3 tanks at the loss of 2 of my own. When his final 76L malf'd and then disabled his gun and was forced to abandon the vehicle, his puny infantry were in trouble. I overran them and got two vehicles behind him on the bridge victory hex and he conceded at turn 4. Quick tourney scenario, just so so enjoyment.
2013-08-09(D) John Van Natta vs Jeff T. German winThis one wasn't even close. Jeff's writeup sums it up pretty well. Tough situation for the Americans, especially when you start with a poor setup.
