Overview:

Airborne troops had broken the German resistance at Carentan during the fighting on the 10th and 11th for the causeway into the city. Another attack on June 12th met only rearguard resistance, and Carentan was finally captured. The 506th advanced southwest of the city and dug in for the night. The next morning, Colonel Sink had the regiment attack westward, and to the surprise of the troops they met counterattacking armor and infantry elements of SS Panzergrenadier-Division 17 supporting their old nemesis, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6.
Attacker: German (SS) (SS Panzergrenadier-Division 17, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6)
Defender: American (506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, A Battery, AA/AT Battalion, 101st Airborne Division)

2025-06-01(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German (SS) winWe kicked off our Normandy June with this one, and I drew the Germans. I hit the US right, going for trail breaks. I overwhelmed Jim's platoon there quickly then raced for the north edge. It was low SMOKE DRs not brilliant tactics that won it. Jim: I thought two 337s with BAZ44s could handle AFVs pushing through the 54A4 woods, so I put the 57L in orchard 63U5 expecting Vic to send his AFVs to the R3-Y10 road. Both guesses were wrong, so I had to push the gun into U4, and run MMCs across a road covered by a StuG parked in 54I5. My 747s broke more than expected but this one still came down to one missed AP shot at the Marder that would have put Vic over the CVP cap. Good game! (This card shows a U.S. M1 ATG outside Carentan, nice job MMP!)
2025-02-20(D) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier American win
2025-01-17(A) Mark Thompson vs Steve Lampon (American) German (SS) winMarder and 2 StuG successfully exploited trail-break on American right flank by German Turn 2 (accompanied by 6-5-8s/swarm of 3-4-8 HS) and LMG-toting 5-4-8s and StuH moved up middle to interdict re-positioning enemy forces. By German Turn 3, DC-toting 7-0 eliminated 57AT which sealed the game. Tough one for Americans IMHO if German tanks avoid BoGs and screen exit run with MA and SD SMOKE.
2025-01-17(A) Peter Palmer vs Herbert Heyman German (SS) winFirst FNF game for me. It was time tight, I'd played it before but couldn't remember how it went. The ATG has about three real setup locations of any worth, so it's not that hard to figure out the timing. In the end I broke through on Herbert's right flank and secured the win on the last movement phase. This may be the Tie-breaker game for Close Assault later in the year.
2024-05-23(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs American win
