Overview:

The US 2nd Battalion, 120th Infantry Regiment had rejoined its regiment, ready to head the day’s attacks. Despite the threat of German counter-attack, the 2nd Battalion slowly advanced towards the village of Quesnel. As the Americans entered the village, they came under machine-gun fire from several unseen locations. Unable to call for artillery or armor support and under increasing fire from the village, the American company commander was about to withdraw when a Sherman from Company B, 743rd Tank Battalion, led by guides, arrived. . .

2024-02-09(A) Mark Thompson vs Tony Gibson (Germans) American winThree American 666s and the 8-0 assault moved/advanced through the grain while the 9-1/MMG and remaining units pushed through the central woods. By Turn 2, aided by horrible German dice, the Americans unmasked the German HIP units/Fortified hex in the central building, broke them, and moved in unscathed, while the 666s advanced adjacent to the building south of the grain. The Germans made a go at reinforcing from the east, but were interdicted, and could not attrit the Americans once they had gained the six building hexes on the west side of the board. An interesting scenario, but dicey (decisively in the Americans favor this time around).
2022-03-09(D) Ben Jones vs Bruno Vazquez German winHIP mmc and an unguarded flank allowed the Germans to counterattack and take two building hexes in the last German turn. Americans gacked both melees they needed to win. The German force is very weak and should be taken by the more experienced player. Pro American.
2018-04-06(D) Jonathan Kapleau vs Wiersma, Brian American win
2014-12-19(A) Chris Brackney vs Kermit Mullins American winThe diciness seemed to even out in this tourney-size scenario from LC. My US had 3 of 6 needed VC building hexes going into my last MPh, and gained the final ones in the APh for the win. Fast playing (about 3 hrs), perfect for an evening's play.
2014-12-19(D) Kermit Mullins vs Christopher Brackney American winMy Germans held out until being wiped out in the final 3 Melees of the last turn.
