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)

2025-04-27(D) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC American winVery asymmetric American setup, towards the right flank. Germans manage to counterattack in the left and center, but the massive American FP in the right flank prevails and they move forward easily to the upper board while forcing the Germans to retreat and stay in DM.
2025-04-12(A) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC German winAmericans tried to balance three fronts (left through the forest, center with lots of buildings and right with more open ground). Eventually, higher German FP in the right flank together with a lone squad who ventured to the forest keeping Americans retreating and in DM sealed the German victory. All the American units ended in the lower board, and some even behind their setup line.
2025-03-06(A) Dan Owsen vs Jeff Chrisope American win3 hrsAmerican high firepower controlled the battlefield. Once one of the German flanks broke, the Americans were able to sweep forward and take over the necessary buildings. This scenario shows the effectiveness of high firepower and longer range units, as well as the resilience of the American troops with their high broken morale. There are some very odd LOS situations on one of the boards. I didn’t like that.
