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)

2021-08-02(D) cesar moreno vs chris_nl American winThings were looking good until turn 3. I had eliminated the german mortar section and my guns were hurting the enemy bad. Then a german fire base broke the 155 crew, and a lucky pot-shot took care of one of the 105 guys. I tried to fire back but the last gun malfunctioned. My reinforcement came when I most needed them. From that point on, german had to decide whether they wanted to shoot my broken guys to keep them from rallying or to maneuver towards the gun. When they fired, they were not lucky. When they maneuvered, my defensive fire was devastating. So still one turn to go when the german mission was canceled and they conceded.
2021-07-23(A) cesar moreno vs Juno29 German winAmerican reinforcements arrived in turn 3 (as per balance)
German south group was promptly eliminated. But both west and east groups eliminated american defenses, captured an american mortar an got close to the big guns. When one of them malfunctioned, germans drop their mortars and run for close assault. Every american unit was eliminated but one leader. By turn 7, the 155 AT gun was captured.
