Overview:

The battle for Aachen had been raging for two days. A complicated series of maneuvers designed to encircle the city from both the north and south had been occupying the American command. These few units committed to the frontal assault on Aachen had some tough going. Not only were the Aachen defenders numerically superior, but they were fighting on their home soil for one of the cherished Nazi symbols: Aachen, home of the First Reich.
Attacker: American (3rd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment)
Defender: German (404th Regiment, 246th Volksgrenadier Division)

2021-12-06(A) Craig Renier vs Jim Liang American winThe American major drive was through the center with a strong force on the German right. Cautious moves cost the Americans precious time. On Turn 3, the Americans had not yet taken any buildings or crossed most of the open ground. However, German forces were beginning to break and not rally. Once the open ground was crossed on the right and left, there was very little the German defense could do. The Germans were afforded a few 2-2 or 4-2 shots, but many cowered followed by successful American MC rolls. Finally, on a low odds shot, a key German MMC with LMG covering the German left flank broke. A poor move by the German exasperated the setback providing an opening for the eventual American win.
2021-08-07(D) César Moreno vs Carl American winI thought american was being overcautious, when he was preparing for a carefully planned and brilliantly executed assault. By turn 4 I had no GO units so I had to concede.
2021-07-17(A) Craig Renier vs Tim Stevens German winThe Americans attacked on a broad front. They were able to get across the open ground and roads with few losses. But then the wheels fell off the wagon. Failed MCs, TCs, and Rallys left broken squads strewn across the battle field. In combat, IFTs were ineffective and the Americans couldn't even win a 2:1 -3 CC roll. With no hope of attaining the VC, the Americans conceded on Axis Turn 6.
