Overview:

Vierville, which lay a few miles inland from Utah Beach, had been liberated on D-Day. On the morning of June 7, elements of the 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR moved out from Vierville towards St. Come du Mont, leaving Vierville virtually unoccupied. The Germans took this opportunity to launch a series of counterattacks on Vierville in hopes of cutting the road to St. Come du Mont. -- This is a great ASL introductory scenario. It involves using Infantry and Leaders counters, no support weaons and no SSRs.
Attacker: German (1058th Grenadier Regiment/919th Grenadier Regiment/6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment)
Defender: American (1st Batt. 506th PIR, 101st Airborne)

2023-03-20(D) Jack Wilson vs Bud G. American winTraining scenario for new player. Bud played well for his first game. He identified the difficulty the American reinforcements would have crossing all that OG as they enter the map and head to help the outnumbered defenders of Vierville.

The game came down to the last turn where the German attackers ran out of blood before they ran out of heart.
2023-03-01(D) Justin DiSabatino vs SelfD American winFirst time playing ASLSK, and a slow start led to a close finish. A few bad close combat rolls had the Germans unable to keep the buildings contested.
