Overview:

For the opening phase of Unternehmen Herbstnebel (Operation Autumn Mist), Oberst Heinz Kokott’s 26.Volksgrenadierdivision had one of the toughest tasks in that it had to clear the roads west of Our River for the panzers of the 2. and the 116.Panzer Divisionen. Crossing the Our in rubber boats at 03:00 hours and infiltrating their way past the American outposts, Oberstleutnant Kaufmann’s Füsilier Regiment 39 had reached Holzthum at 06:00 hours before anyone in the US 28th Infantry Division sector was even aware an attack was in progress.

2024-02-24(D) Jack Wilson vs Paul Ling American winA fun and well-balanced scenario. Q26 depicts the opening blitz of the Battle of the Bulge so the Americans are outnumbered, and due to the continued myth that the 28th infantry division, still recovering from its wounds in the Heurtgen Forest more than a month earlier, their OB is filled with 5-4-6 2nd line squads-allegedly to represent their high level of replacements. The poor ML of American squads is another historical inaccuracy that designers cannot shake. But I digress...

The key to the American defense is their 2 MMGs and 2 Lt Mrtrs. I set the mortars up on the level 2 hill and the MMGs in Level 2 building locations. Essentially, the plan was to force the Germans to either take a bunch of -DRM IFT attacks, or slow down to avoid fire and put themselves behind the time clock.

Paul did a good job of getting into the village in strength, helped slightly by one of my mortars and one one of my MMGs malfing themselves out of the game.

The game came down to the last turn where he had to win two CC to gain his last two VC buildings. Luckily, the dice were kind to me. Fun scenario which I highly recommend.
2023-02-25(A) Richard Jenulis vs Allen Evenson American winMtrs defended the woods line well. Came down to the last turn.
2023-02-25(D) Allen Evenson vs Richard Jenulis American winMTRs did their Job and American's held out for last turn win - tight, fun match.
2023-01-22(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winDan's Germans moved around my left flank, entered the village and by Turn 5 had won the game.
2023-01-22(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
