Overview:

After securing Waldniel, the 334th Infantry sent G Company, 2nd Battalion to seize Berg. The American line of depatrure was near the cottages of Wegberg, overlooking the route to Berg which lay across 300 yeards of open ground dominated by a low hill. As the men of G Company neared the highway, four German machine guns opened fire. One gun was to the right of the road, while the other three were on the reverse slope of the hill. Newly commissioned Lt. Harold L. Howdieshell spotted the German gun that had 1st Platoon pinned down. Howdieshell threw four grenades, neutralized the gun and was about to throw a fifth grenade when another Spandau in a house stitched him with bullets, killing him instantly. Suddenly, G Company rose with fixed bayonets and charged up the slope, throwing hand grenades. A bloody hand-to-hand struggle ended just as suddenly as it had begun.

This is quite tough on the Ami's, who have to clear the three hills and two multihex buildings of good order Germans, whilst crossing open ground. I setup half my force on the hills and was able to dig in on the back one. The hills are the only level one locations around and I made sure that the Americans had to crest them to see my units. The front units were able to repulse repeated attempts to overrun them.

2021-03-25(A) Pascal Boileau vs Jean Galantini German winA short but funny scenario. The German defense was well organized and the American troops despite extensive used of smoke were regularly broken by acute defensive shots... Therefore, in the end, I was really too far from the last building to expect anything else than a complete defeat.. Well done Jean !
2020-11-10(A) Scott Fischbein vs Jim B American winJim's first game of full ASL... the Germans couldn't stand up against the might of the American force, though he did have a last ditch attempt to grab back a hill location, which was crushed by a lucky mortar shot. Fun short scenario.
