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)
Defender: American (107th and 108th Field Artillery Battalions, 28th Infantry Division)

2023-08-13 | (D) Justin DiSabatino | vs | American win | First scenario playing with guns and interesting to see the effect on infantry. Germans took advantage of the set-up to form a "U" around the American position, heavy on the flanks with a small number of units in the middle to draw fire. The strategy worked, particularly as the American MMG malfunctioned on its first shot, allowing the German left and right to form up at the tree lines to prepare to attack the guns. That's when it all came apart. The few defending American squads were constantly harassing the German lines in the woods and anytime the Germans moved into position, the artillery ruined their FG cohesion. I called the game at the bottom of Turn 5, as there were no GO Germans on the board and no Germans at all within 5 hexes of a gun. | ||
2023-04-29 | (A) Andreas R | vs | Jenny | D | American win | |
2022-11-15 | (D) Jack Wilson | vs | Bob T. | German win | Great game that came down to the last turn. The Germans spent two fire phases to break all three of my gun crews. who all refused to self-rally. Then he rushed the guns on turn 7. I threw up a blizzard of bullets and residuals. KIA'd one, broke two, pinned three, but he had four squads make through the hail of gunfire and captured the defenseless guns on the last advance phase. Another fun VASL game. | |
2022-11-12 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Mark D | American win (VASL Log) | Great tense game in Round 1 Stew's mini-tournament. Americans got two guns malfunctioned while blazing, but were able to hold the ground thanks to very lucky KIAs in the endspiel. | |
2022-08-06 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Slava Zipunov | American win (VASL Log) | Second re-learning ASL game. |
