Overview:

Despite numerous pleas from his field commanders, Hitler insisted that the main thrust of the Ardennes offensive not be diminished just to shore up the flanks. This General Brandenberger’s 7th Army, charged with protecting the southern flank as the panzers advanced in the center, contained only one Fallschirmjager division and three Volksgrenadier divisions. The 352nd Volksgrenadier Division lacked training, veteran non-coms, or motorized transport. On December 16th it crossed the Our River in front of the US 109th Infantry Regiment and two field artillery battalions situated on Skyline Drive. . .
Attacker: German (915th Volksgrenadier Regiment, 352nd Volksgrenadier Division)

2020-09-28(D) M T vs TLE68 German winA determined German attack carried them to victory in turn 4, just before the American reinforcements arrived.
2020-09-28(A) Tommi Lehtinen vs M T German winLearned from the tactical mistakes from the previous game, this time the German focused their forces more. A strong force approached the American positions outside the LOS, but had a small force waiting for an opportunity to move in when the Yanks would be focused to the main force. On turn 3 the Germans make their assault against the two guns trying to overwhelm the defenders. Very good rolls from the green team almost broke the blue teams back, even if both the gun crews were forced to break. On a German turn 4, it was turn for the attackers to roll low and defenders failed to get any ROF. This allowed the Germans not only the recover two of the guns but also advance to the close combat with the crew of the third gun with 6-1 odds. After uneven close combat Germans had the possessions of all the guns. As the American did not have any units able to prep fire the Germans, it was clear that the German would be able to destroy the guns before the American reinforcements could intervene in, so the Americans conceded.
2020-09-04(D) M T vs TLE68 American winThe German advance was badly pummeled by the American 105s and mortar fire - keeping ROF helped a lot. The Germans did manage to come back to make a last ditch effort for the guns and in the end managed to capture two of them. However, losses in the early game made victory unattainable for them by turn 6.
2020-09-04(A) Tommi Lehtinen vs M T American winGerman divided their force too much, giving enough targets for each American gun and support weapon, but not enough to overwhelm them. American managed to keep ROF and to eliminate many German squads leaving the German force too weak to push through the American reinforces for the third gun and even losing the possession of already capture (but not yet destroyed) second gun.
