Overview:
Colonel Robert Sink and his unit, the five-oh-sinks, were trying to break the German hold on the town of St. Côme du Mont bewteen Carentan and St. Mere Eglise. To do this he manuevered several units into a line east of the town including the 1st Battalion of the 506th Parachite Infantry. Sink realized that the men in his unit had been under constant pressure with little to no rest for 2 days and that they needed assistance breaking into St. Côme du Mont. To help his dead tired mean, he arranged for as much help as he could find including an elaborate artillery barrage in an attempt to soften the way into town.Attacker: American (506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division)
Defender: German (1058th Regiment, 91st Luftlande Division)

2023-10-29 | (A) Andreas Brueckner | vs | Rick Runner | American win | ||
2022-07-19 | (D) Vilis Pavulans | vs | Stephen Mackintosh | German win | Playing the first game against Stephen who is a very nice opponent. Started with a pretty withdrawn defence in order to duck the OBA which worked out ok. Only one squad got hit but it broke. Americans advanced rapidly into the lower right part of the village through the orchard as expected. After that a horrible advance through smoke which broke more than half of the american force and wounded the 9-1. After that, the Americans couldn´t get their nose above the water since brokies were kept down by annoying German fire and we called it a game in the beginning of turn 4. Scenario seems very unbalanced unless the OBA happens to hit more German units. | |

2021-10-26 | (D) Alberto Pomar | vs | PezBailarin | German win | ||
2021-10-26 | (A) César Moreno | vs | Alberto Pomar | German win | En el último turno americano me quedaban dos hexágonos por tomar a los alemanes. Entro en CC en ambos, gano una combate pero el otro queda en melee. Turno alemán, consigo con uñas y dientes evitar que retome ningún edificio, y también que refuerce la melee. Al final todo se reduce a una tirada, 3:2 a mi favor... pero no sale. Merecida victoria alemana, partida muy disputada y divertida. | |
2021-08-31 | (D) Alexey Kolleganov | vs | Anton Sulin | American win (VASL Log) | Good American offensive. | |
2021-08-24 | (A) Igor Stolyarenko | vs | Dmitriy Alexandrov | German win (VASL Log) | Great scenario! Recommended for training offensive operations. | |
2021-08-17 | (D) Fedor Melnikov | vs | Anton Sulin | German win (VASL Log) | ||
2021-08-10 | (A) Alexey Kolleganov | vs | Fedor Grachev | German win (VASL Log) | Mission failed. | |
2021-06-27 | (A) Seumas Hoskins | vs | Erica | American win | German setup clustered a bit too much and and extremely effective American OBA broke close to half the Germans. The Americans took advantage of a gap in the defense caused by this in the first turn and the Germans never recovered. All German forces were eliminated by turn 4. | |
2020-10-24 | (A) Kevin Sanders | vs | Jason Littleton | German win | Some snakes = dead US squads, and two melee lasting 2+ turns. Nice German win. | |
2019-08-20 | (D) Javier Rodrigo Ballesteros | vs | Carlos Fernández | German win | ||
2018-08-29 | (D) Tripp Killin | vs | Sebastian Killin | German win | Americans definitely need the balance to overcome difficult control Victory Conditions in a very short game. I liked it because it was quick, and the pre-bombardment could add some excitement. But if the U.S. 9-2 hadn't gotten hot one mid-game phase and killed everything in his LOS (2, 2, 3, 5, 4), it wouldn't have even been close. Germans can skulk in too many buildings and there is too much open ground to cover. | |
2018-08-15 | (D) B S | vs | Sean S. | German win | My good dice and Sean's bad dice stopped the American's in their tracks. Sean's second ever ASL scenario! | |
2018-07-16 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Amanda Boles | German win | An early shot took out a kill stack of my attacking Americans. Good thing for Amanda, because this came to the final die roll. Great match! | |
2018-03-24 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | German win | Despite a first assault that ended two German squads in melee, the paratroopers suffered from the terrible fire from the German weapons. they were unable to progress and control the crossroad of the town. Complete German victory with 7 out of 9 building hexes still under control. | ||
2017-07-18 | (A) Tom Abromaitis | vs | German win | |||
2015-08-30 | (A) JP Laurio | vs | Arttu | American win | ||
2014-10-01 | (D) Paul Osborne | vs | Aaron Sibley | American win | Very close until the end even with American balance - finally swamped down. Surprised lasted so long considering rookie at the game against first live game. Enjoyed my whooping. | |
2014-10-01 | (A) Aaron Sibley | vs | Paul Osborne | American win | Americans do need the balance. Off-board effective but quick German recovery. Fun little scenario | |
2014-07-23 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Solo | Draw | Played solo. The arty broke two German squads. The Americans entered by the northern route and closed in quite well in the first buildings, but it's difficult then to cross the streets and engage the last defenders. The German only has to skulk and wait for the Americans to cross. At the end, a desperate FFNAM/FFMO attack was met with a 1,1 D1F to prevent the last CC. German win. | |
2013-04-14 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | German win | The offboard artillery had no effect at all. The US troops approached in 3 groups of 2 squads. One of them tried to turn the german defense but was routed in the attempt. Finally they managed to reach the central building where one squad pinned in melee 3 german squads. The melee turns in favour of the americans when reinforcements arrived. Although the last german troops were routed and left the area, there was not enough time to enter the various buildings to get control. Victory conditions did not favour the americans in this scenario. | ||
2013-04-13 | (D) O Ramaille | vs | German win | The offboard US artillery routed a few german units but they quickly recovered. The US approached in a disperse way through north and east. But precise shots from the germans kept them at bay. US paratroopers were unable to seize the town. | ||
2012-10-31 | (D) Russell Dewhurst | vs | David | German win | Not many American casualties till the end but they left it too late | |
2012-01-06 | (A) steve mackintosh | vs | Vinnie | German win | very hard to progress as americans even with the extra mmc and machine gun suggested in balance. artillary strike was ineffective and progress into buildings was fraught with moving first fire opportunities. played against experience asl player and the dice were bad. even so i think the american could do with more firepower to balance this more. | |
2011-02-13 | (D) Jeff Coleman | vs | Brandon Coleman | German win | ||
2011-02-04 | (D) Paul Jaschke | vs | D. Schaaf | German win | Although I did enjoy winning this one as the Germans, it seemed pretty one-sided against the Americans. Their initial barrage was totally ineffective and their entrance onto the board met heavy resistance. I won with uncontested possession of 3 building hexes. If playing again I would definitely recommend using the American balance. | |
2011-01-24 | (D) Jonathan Davis | vs | Voss Graham | German win | ||
2010-06-20 | (A) Miikka Sohlman | vs | Matti Holsti | German win | ||
2010-02-17 | (D) Ian Willey | vs | Phil Gardener | German win | OBA caused some breaks but I bounced back quickly. A tough game for the Yanks but a good quick scenario for training. Will switch and play again | |
2010-01-16 | (D) John Shingara | vs | Paul Maasse | German win | Tough for the Americans to push out the Germans, Consider balance. | |
2009-12-31 | (A) Paul Messina | vs | David Hassler | German win | The American OBA was completely ineffective. A combination of poor dice rolls on my part and some great rolls by my opponent caused the Americans to surrender on Turn 04. Just my opinion but it seems like this scenario is very poorly balanced in favor of the Germans although it was still interesting to try it. | |
2009-11-07 | (D) Nick Rusch | vs | B. Bellamy | German win | American OBA was not effective. Hence Germans were able to hang on in house-to-house fighting and prevent the Americans from accomplishing their VC. |
