River crossings and key road networks had to be seized to allow the panzer divisions to drive through Belgium. On the morning of December 16th, German formations crept through the Schnee Eifel and delivered the first hammer blows to the green U.S. 106th Infantry Division. . .

2026-08-07(D) Todd G vs David American win

(VASL Log)		The German attack into Bleialf forced the Americans to hastily take up defensive positions. With a barrage of smoke from a German 81mm mortar, the main attack of three battalions pushed into Bleialf from the southeast while a flanking maneuver by one German battalion was temporarily halted by a lone bazooka team in the north. The American squads in the south began to fall back having taken casualties from the main German assault. As the main attack moved up onto a hill overlooking the village center, a 57mm AT gun, concealed in some woods, opened fire on the German units rushing to occupy the high ground. Meanwhile, the northern flanking attack had engaged the bazooka team in hand-to-hand combat. A German squad rushed along the southern flank to get in behind the Americans, but another 57mm AT gun, this one concealed in a building on the square, opened fire allowing a beleaguered American squad to fall back into cover. Now on the high ground the main German attack poured withering fire onto the AT gun in the woods temporarily routing the crew out of their position. Meanwhile, reinforcements from the 81st came rushing in from the rear to protect the remaining gun and its crew. As the Germans were regrouping, the first gun crew rallied and attempted to retake the gun position only to break once again under fire. The Germans on the high ground moved into the square to rout out the gun crew and a half-squad supporting them. Meanwhile, the bazooka team had managed to eliminate two full squads in hand-to-hand combat, but pinned when fired upon by the several machine gun crews. By now, the Germans split their forces into two with one battalion attempting a southern push while the other battalion flanked north. As the remaining Americans fell back to more defensible positions, the Germans knocked out the AT gun in the woods, but the remaining AT gun along with two machine guns kept the southern flank attack stalled. The Germans knocked out one of the machine guns as their crew fled across the square. Then the German machine gun squads moved to high ground attempting to push the northern flanking attack. Unable to rally along the southern flank, and unable to push further into the village from the north, the Germans retreated (conceded) and left Bleialf still in American hands.

(VASL Log)		Americans conceded after German t3 RtPh. Curious... how does anyone get use out of the German 81mm MTR?... I depleted smoke on the first attempt and then it's got virtually no LOS to any targets.

2025-09-13(D) Eduardo Rodriguez vs Craig Renier American win
2025-09-07(A) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala vs DC American winAmerican setup close to the VC area. Both ATs on the 3-hex small hill lose HE and malfunction. After the German mortar malfunctions, the Germans take some very risky moves in smoke-free roads while the American defense does not give up. Eventually time runs out before the Germans can secure the VC area.
