Overview:

In the Ardennes sector, the U.S. 87th Division was given the assignment of taking Gerimont. The opening of the assault went well but while pausing to regroup in the outskirts of the town, the Americans were hit by a strong local counterattack. The Germans hoped to give the 15th Panzer Grenadier Division time for an orderly retreat. . .

2024-01-01(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM American winI drew the G.I.s in this SL conversion (from R211), a small, urban infantry fight and golden oldie to start our ASL year! ELR 4 and SAN 5 partly offset only two MMGs and a single -1 leader (plus two 8-0s). I put two 666s in the woods as 'tripwires' chancing tree-bursts from the harassing fire bombardment (which only broke one 666 in a building). Jim feinted toward DD5 then pounced on X8. I consolidated to hold Z7 and all buildings west of the U7-Y8/CC7-GG6 roads, but Jim mopped up Z7 after the defending squads broke. After turn 3, I had 5 GO MMC left to hold 4 buildings (and two broken MMC in AA4). Rallying was tough with only two leaders left and moving anywhere risky with Jim's MGs covering the roads. Jim took the DD3 building on turn 4, and it came down to holding buildings AA3 and W4. I was saved by rowhouses having an upper level to rout into. Without a turn 8 PFPh for Jim to declare mopping up, A26.11 gave me the 'technicality' win. This one was fun but shows its age.

2022-05-28(A) Robert Wiebe vs American German winGermans had a two-pronged attack, again supported by a 9-2, HMG/MMG kill stack on a second-level building board 1. The West prong was made to the three rowhouses on that wing, while a smaller thrust was made towards the central building and the rowhouse to the East. Battle went back and forth but on the last turn, the Germans were able to secure that fourth building and win.
2022-05-04(A) Robert Wiebe vs American American winGermans approached through the heavily wooded area towards the main large building, supported by a 20FP kill stack in a second-floor building. This became the focus of the effort, which meant the objectives of capturing 4 or more buildings were unattainable as too many resources were poured into the attack.
