Overview:

At 0525 on December 16th, an intense German artillery barrage commenced against U.S. forces astride Route N16, “Skyline Drive”, one of only a few paved roads in the Ardennes. A thick fog obscured anything beyond a few hundred yards and as the morning progressed the Americans began to hear Germans bypassing their positions to the north and south. These were units of the 77th Grenadier Regiment which were on the move to seize the bridge at Clervaux. Around 0730 the fog began to lift and shortly thereafter the Grenadiers attacked Hosingen in an effort to take control of the vital roads leading west. . .
Attacker: German (II Batt., 77th Regiment, 26th Volksgrenadier Division)
Defender: American (K and M Co., 3rd Batt., 110th Regiment and 103rd Engineer Combat Batt.)

2026-09-13(A) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC American winReturn match. The Americans concentrated most of their setup on the village towards the left. I as German didn't take advantage of that and also concentrated most of my forces there. But it's extremely tough to battle the Americans in several stone buildings with FTs, a MMG and their 10-2 leader. The right-hand front, with fewer defense units, was eventually neutralized but the Germans didn't have enough time to exit. Comfortable American win.
2026-08-23(D) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC German winSnow started falling on the first Player Turn and never stopped, which helped the Germans in their goal. Regardless of that, the American setup was too broad and thus with a very limited FP in each sector. The Germans eventually decimated the defense and had no problem exiting the required number of squads with one full turn to go. The American setup seems to be an absolute key for this scenario. Looking forward to the return match.
