Overview:

Even with III Corps breaking the siege of Bastogne on the day after Christmas, there was still much fighting ahead. Patton wanted to use the city as the springboard for a counteroffensive, while Model now made it the central objective for “Wacht am Rhein”. The U.S. 26th “Yankee” Infantry Division was to hold the right flank while other formations made the breakthrough. General von Luettwitz made his move to pinch off the breakthrough at the same time by dispatching fresh reserves from the Fuhrere Grenadier Brigade, with both attacks meeting near the mountain village of Kaundorf. With the icy conditions making it difficult for tanks to maneuver, even on roads . . . .
Attacker: American (101st Infantry Regiment, 26th Infantry Division and 735th Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (Fuhrer Grenadier Brigade)

2023-08-20(D) Jason Nichols vs Rob MacGinley German winNot my favourite scenario, despite the win.
2023-08-13(A) Rob MacGinley vs Jason Nichols German winGreat game to used your US armour well
get in close and get fried (PF) - wait for panthers and be outdone
so lots of smoke and tricks
Cleared one flank well - but left a survivor that became the victory man in the last player turn - lesson of always remeber to complete your clean up!!
2022-11-05(A) Richard Jenulis vs David Wolfe German winWest Coast Rumble 2022. I had a plan, got distracted by a squirrel and abandoned my plan. With a lack of focus, Dave totally outplayed me on this one for a well deserved win.
2022-10-03(A) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker German winAs shown on IR#76. Americans made good progress but just couldn't make the last push. Panthers swung the battle but it's a nice, replayable scenario.
2021-06-10(D) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall German win4.25 hrsI divided my force equally amongst all three VC areas. Magnus went heavy north to try and first displace me from the Level 2 square. The rest of his men aimed to knock me out of 60AA3. He would find the challenge of moving into the snowy hills difficult. The arrival of my tanks on T3 was a much-needed shot in the arm, and his attempts to take AA3 were rebuffed, T4 saw me finally try and reposition my Board 41 men after he pulled back most of the men he had on guard duty to prevent just such a maneuver, but they would turn out to be non-factors in the end anyway. I conceded the square VC area during my T5, but my attempt to create a wall of bodies fell one hex short. He tried to use his last three remaining tanks to knock out one of my guardian Panthers. One mired trying to navigate the icy roads, one was knocked out by my Panther, and the last was destroyed by a PF. He then tried the silly endgame rush, but all his reachable infantry came up short. Not one of my favorite scenarios.
