Overview:

An ad hoc group of roughly two parachute companies under Lt. Colonel Shanley were stopped cold on their drive toward the bridge at Pont L’Abbe. They fell back to high ground overlooking the Chef-Du-Pont crossing. The key element of the position was a standing patrol in a farm and road junction, blocking the road from the west to the bridge. At dawn on June 8th, the Germans made their most determined effort to take it. . .
Attacker: German (Grenadier-Regiment 1057, Luftlande-Infanterie-Division 91)
Defender: American (2nd Battalion, 508 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)

2024-06-16(A) Terrence Dorsey vs Solo German win
2024-06-08(A) Jeff B vs Zoltan Eszes German win4.25 hrsA rare FtF game for me at "The Whitmore House," getting together with the Milwaukee-area gang. We settled on this in honor of the 80th anniversary of D-Day. I took the Germans, even though Zoltan's dad was an Iron Cross-winning Hungarian commander memorialized on cardboard in ASL117-With Tigers on Their Tail. I approached straight up the middle, with an outlying force north of the road/woods mass on the bottom to try and flank. Dealing with the almost-scripted MMG nest and mortar on top of the hill would prove exceedingly difficult, with his mortar breaking a stack behind the wall and me also losing a HS. Meanwhile his boys on the hill shrugged off MC after MC from my kill stacks. Turn 4 saw a drastic turn of events though as my mortar rolled three snake eyes in a row. First a CH on the mortar, then another on the results, then another on the MMG nest. The resulting "5" was almost as good here after Zoltan rolled snakes of his own to have both leader and HS affected equally by the CH. His leader bit it with a mortal wound, and the HS of course was killed outright. Once the hill was clear I was able to storm up quite a few Germans into the hill. Just in time too, because the Ami reinforcements arrived early. It looked to be a tough fight. But when a berzerk Ami was K'd and then boxcarred his MC, and his attempt to take me out in one of the foxholes on the hill in CC met with doom he called it a day. Despite me currently not having a single building, his broken 9-1 and another squad would be sure mop up casualties, and me grabbing a sole building from his sorely pressed five remaining squads would be rather simple. A fun time with a great group of guys!
2024-05-29(A) Simone Panza vs American wincame to the last round, German HS in one building location broke and American could advance and prevent German win
2024-01-29(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German winCame to the end. What a knock down fight
2023-09-23(D) David Garvin vs Frank Kelly American winPlayed in a fast-paced game. As US, I malf'd out my Mortar and my MMG in short order, but my reinforcements were timely, as was a HOB roll that generated a hero and made my squad go fanatic. Great fun!
