Overview:

Christmas Day found the American garrison at Bastogne surrounded. The Germans marked the holiday with an assault on the hitherto quite northwestern perimeter – with Bastogne as the goal. Kampfgruppe Maucke split up at dawn, with the smaller element moving north to bypass Champs. It unknowingly advanced to a collision with B and C Companies of the 502nd Parachute Infantry. . .
Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier Regiment 115 / Panzer Battalion 115)

2022-01-14(A) Andy Goldin vs George Hiotis German winI managed to pull out a win in a 'squeaker' of a game against George as the defending Americans. Based on my read of the terrain and his setup, I came in on the center and right (north) of the map, with the idea being the woods and hedge would mask my movement. Instead, George chose to position both of his Tank Destroyers forward, knocking out one of my STUGs on Turn 1 and immobilizing a Mk4. It could have been much worse had he made rate. Luckily his dice didn't help him and I was able to move most of my vehicles out of his line of fire, leaving only the immobilized Mk4 and his wingman moving far behind. Since my AFVs had to be mobile to exit, he chose to engage the moving Mk4 and... missed. My immobilized Mk4 which had range by that point then hit and turned the TD into a burning wreck.
George then sortied his remaining TD to get a rear shot on one of my other Mk4s. Although he missed, my tank gunner did not and by the end of Turn 3 George was out of TDs. What could have been an easy exit was stymied by aggressive play with is three Bazooka-toting squads which defended the eastern treeline and a fourth in the center. George's Americans managed to kill a Mk4 in CC (which didn't have enough points to exit). Another of my Mk4s got attacked on the woods road on its way off the board and, by firing with every weapon on board, managed to pin a BAZ team that came up the woods-road (which then missed), break another BAZ team and kill a squad and leader in CC. At that point I had 3 AFVs off the board and a lead in CVP. George failed his Personal Morale Check and conceded. That was a very close game!
