Overview:

The American hand had closed about Aachen. But the city fell slowly. Street by street, then house by house, the GIs squeezed out the Germans. Finally, the Wehrmacht headquarters in the Hotel Quellenhof was in sight. The massive hotel structure proved impervious to direct 75mm fire from supporting Shermans. As the GIs launched their first assault, Colonel Corley called on a self-propelled 155 for direct fire support.

2021-09-24(A) Michael Rodgers vs Nick Farnya American winSPA did not get any WP, but Americans win in three turns.
2019-06-11(A) Jeff B vs Shaun Andrews American winThe Americans have LOS to almost every decent location the Germans can setup in. With no initial concealment, this puts the Germans in an almost untenable position. If the Germans aren't careful, the Americans have enough latitude where they can situate some of their force to move in concealed, while the rest sit back and soften up the defense. Even still this scenario is so tiny that lucky dice one way or the other will immediately tilt the balance. For the Americans this will usually mean King Kong, while the 10-2 is the key for the Germans. The Germans will eventually face upper level encirclement and, unless the aforementioned luck is on their side, it will be curtains for them. Our match was over by the middle of Turn 2.
