Overview:

In the Allied invasion in southern France, the Dragoon plan called for early morning raids on each of the German flanks, followed by paratroop drops and glider landings around Le Muy, a transportation hub a dozen miles from the coast. Once organized on the ground, the 1st Airborne Task Force would go after Le Muy and keep German reinforcements from reaching the beachheads—blocking roads, laying ambushes, and killing any unfortunate Germans they stumbled across.
Attacker: American (550th Glider Infantry Regiment)

2025-01-09(A) Justin DiSabatino vs D American winThe Germans spread out across the board to cover all avenues of the American approach, choosing buildings with long sight lines to make it hard for the Americans to advance and delay the attack on building P2 as long as possible. A few key events made their defenses collapse sooner than expected; the German MMG malf'd on the first time firing and broke on repair and the Americans passed MCs at an above average rate. The Americans advanced across the board with a stronger force on the left flank, breaking and eliminating Germans to avoid any late rallies that may have let the Germans take back buildings to the rear. By the bottom of turn 5, the Americans had met the VC.

2022-05-08(A) Jack Wilson vs Dale Wetzelberger German winPlayed this scenario for the first time. Dale had the Germans. In hindsight my attack plan was a little suspect. I tried attacking down both flanks to avoid his killing ground in the middle. I had no problem capturing the 5 multi-hex buildings, but the final P2 building was too much. It came down to the last turn and my paratroopers didn't have enough punch left to clear all three hexes in CC. Dale is an experienced ASL player, and I picked up a few pointers from him. I had a couple important DR go against me (like when he rallied a DM leader, then the DM squad, then repossessed its MMG so it could burn down my kill stack at PBR in the PFPh (bummer!). But overall, Dale played an excellent game.
Worthy of a replay.
