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)

2023-03-31(A) Justin DiSabatino vs SelfD American winI greatly enjoyed the challenge of setting up an effective American defense given the limitation of setting up in hexes >=4. All of the American units set up to withdraw to better positions within the first two turns, with the flamethrowers anchoring the flanks at I2 and Z1 (eventually) while the 10-2/HMG/6-6-7 aimed for P1, with the remainder of squads used to delay the German advance. The Germans set up on the flanks to avoid the strong American center, but that also meant they were unable to stop the Americans falling back to the planned positions. The German right flank never made it out of the woods (HMG in center and MMG in U3 took care of that), but the German left repeatedly pushed and was repulsed by the FT/8-1/MMG/7-4-7 in I2. A turn 5 CC with an incredible German roll finally cleared the entire American stack in I2, but there was only 8 VP left to exit in Turn 6. The swing of clear American control to the Germans almost managing to push a win over in the last turn kept play interesting.
