Overview:

The main assault on Aachen began with a pounding barrage by aircraft and artillery. Early on 13 October, Lt. Col. John Corley's 3rd Battalion of the 26th Infantry Regiment was ordered to push northwest, while Lt. Col. Derrill Daniel's 2nd Battalion began making a painstaking sweep through the heart of the city. Corley, moving west towards Lousberg and Observatory Hill, found the route blocked on the very first day.
Attacker: American (Company K, 3rd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division)

2021-06-11(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winMy Americans advanced on a broad front and promptly ran into trouble as one M-10 was stunned and another immobilized. But after Turn 2, my Americans began a steady advance that eliminated the Germans up to the main building. On Turn 6, I managed to get into Melee with the only remaining Germans and since they were no longer good order got the immediate victory. Tough scenario for the Germans. Dan had no luck with his Panzerfausts and was not as successful in Close Combat as he usually is, which really helped the American cause in this scenario.
2021-06-11(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins American win
2021-03-08(A) Andy Bagley vs Josh Kalman American winThis was really close; I broke the last German MMC on my final AFPh, but had the dice gone differently at the end it could easily have gone the other way. The German defensive setup was excellent: two buildings as strongholds (one particularly well protected with fortified locations and AA guns covering the approaches), plus a lone HS hiding at the far end of the playing area. I cleared one building fairly quickly but struggled to break into the stronger other, not helped by the German sniper killing two of my M10 crews and forcing their recall. After surrounding the building I eventually got the shots I needed to get into it, but even then I needed to break or pin his last HS there on a 12 +3 IFT shot to stop it reaching a fortified location, which fortunately I managed. Great scenario, one with plenty of movement despite the urban setting.
