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)

2019-01-29(D) John Malaska vs Zeb Tingley American winBig moment was when CE'd M18 was hit by HE round, but escaped with a '12' dud effect.

This game is a cruel mistress.
2018-02-14(A) Ruben Rigillo vs Francesco Berucci German win
2018-02-10(D) Jonathan Kapleau vs Cann, Al American win
2017-05-28(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winFailed to use errata. Used American balance.
2016-12-22(A) Jon Jaramillo vs Justin American winI tried to slug it out with the American TDs and got annihilated. He rolled two crits, including one to end the game. I probably spent far too much time and effort trying to kill the TDs and lost sight of the victory conditions.
