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)

2022-06-19(D) Martí Cabré vs Pere Cabré American winFirst play with Pere, he grabbed everything quite well and did some good moves, he managed to take a building hex but Americans won by closing in and ending the game in Melee.
2022-06-18(A) Alvaro Radigales vs Phineas American winSome very lucky rolls for the Yanks, including snake eyes twice on the IFT and twice again on rally checks. A last-ditch attempt by the Germans to enter one of the victory locations was thwarted by an unlikely fail of a pin task check. Fun game still, with quite a bit of close combat and plenty of emerging narrative.
2022-06-12(A) Alvaro Radigales vs Solo German winSolo game to refresh the rules. Very poor rally rolls plagued the Americans, even resulting in one leader dead and one wounded. The Germans took the town early and American reinforcements failed to dislodge them.
2022-05-25(D) Ryan Dukeman vs Ben Steinberg American winAmericans hit pretty hard right at the beginning. Then, the Germans folded once an entire stack was broken and eliminated due to FTR.
2022-05-05(D) Anders Björnberg vs David K American winGermans took the building in M4 on turn 4 but was shortly thereafter broken by the big amount of several American units nearby. As Germany had very few units left they gave up in turn 5 after another unit was broken.
