Overview:
By the end of November, Major General Clarence Huebner's "Big Red One" had fought all the way through the Huertgen Forest and into the towns along the edge of the Roer river plane. Hopeful for the end of fighting in the Huertgen "Death Factory", the 26th Infantry Regiment coordinated an attack on the medieval town of Merode. A few tanks made it through the forest to support the attack, only to be knocked out by mines. Still, Lt. Col. Derrill Daniel's 2nd Battalion pressed forward against the fresh and motivated fallschirmjager defending Merode.Attacker: American (2nd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment)

2022-11-17 | (D) Jack Wilson | vs | Dmitry K. | American win | Second beat down in as many days for this one. Although my Germans played a little better, they could not stand up to the massed FP of the Americans. Dmitry threw his whole OB at the sH4 VC hex. He had the first group of stone buildings by T1 and the second group by T2. I was able to hold him up for T3, but he got into the VC building by T4 with a demo charge. He shrewdly sealed off the entry hexes for my T3 reinforcements who then had to enter the board in the APh. Still, the game came down to the last turn, and perhaps if I had not made a couple of crucial blunders, the Germans might have pulled it out. | |
2022-11-17 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Jack Wilson | American win (VASL Log) | The good availability of the smoke allowed Americans to make a good progress towards the stone VC building during the first 3 turns, so German reinforcements had to join the war in uncomfortable way. Americans took the VC hex blowing the garrison with DC and then defended till the last game turn. Thank you for the great game, Jack! | |
2022-11-13 | (D) Jack Wilson | vs | Mark D. | American win | Third round game of SK VASL tournament. Mark demonstrated his solid mastery of the game and out maneuvered me at every turn. Well-played game, and I learned a lot. Thanks, Mark! | |

2021-10-06 | (A) JP Laurio | vs | Arttu | American win | ||
2021-07-10 | (D) Seumas Hoskins | vs | Erica | German win | Very close game in the end, coming down to Melee in the VP with 3 squads vs 3 squads. | |
2021-02-07 | (D) David Wiesenhahn | vs | German win | |||
2020-01-25 | (D) John Smith | vs | Scott | German win | All and all a very enjoyable scenario. All of the LOS on board r are very close through the buildings, making for some good action. The initial bombardment SSR is pointless, Germans can easily (and effectively) set up to avoid it. PFs never really came into play either, since most of our action was on board R where buildings are much more spread apart. It was very close but the Germans squeaked out a victory. Read the VCs closely. Victory is dictated by 2 hexes, NOT the entire building where those hexes reside. | |
2018-07-27 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | German win | The US infantry was divided into two attack forces. The main one was to attack west and the smaller one to the south. The young Fallschirmjäger were so accurate in their shooting that it considerably slowed the American advance. Furthermore, the smaller attack force ended up completely surrounded and forced to surrender. With two third of their men down, the attack failed to reach the objectives. A complete German victory. | ||
2017-12-16 | (D) Abe Francis | vs | Doug Francis | American win | I as the Germans set up a defensive perimeter but the Americans concentrated their force and easily silenced the HMG before advancing. In hindsight I think I set up too close as the American's initial turn is hard to weather. | |
2017-06-13 | (A) Tom Abromaitis | vs | German win | |||
2016-02-13 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Solo | American win | Solo play. Bombardment was ineffective. Americans used huge firepower to open a gap in the German defenders and press hard. A German counterattack on the American flank destroyed a 3 unit stack and opened way for German reinforcements to join the fray. Scenario ended with units fighting CC in the objective building with the higher odds going to the Americans, who won. | |
2015-08-20 | (A) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | American win | ||
2015-08-20 | (D) Dwayne Duval | vs | Kevin Duval | American win | ||
2015-03-22 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | gazzo | German win | The initial american bombardment was completely ineffective (not sure it provides anything useful other than creating a non-setup area). The Americans attacked through the stone buildings but were disorganized by precise shots from the german HMG. They progress slowly through the buildings but the german get organized and slowed the attackers with efficiency. German reinforcements were silenced by a sole half-squad. The reamioning american forces assaulted the building desperately but were pushed back by the numerous remaining defenders. A complete victory for the germans. | |
2013-06-22 | (A) Paul Messina | vs | Andrew Muller | American win | ||
2013-05-01 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Anna Aleksanyan | American win | ||
2013-04-01 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Sergey Ovcharenko | German win | Americans didn't get through the initial defensive perimeter. | |
2012-10-10 | (A) Alexey Pupyshev | vs | German win | |||
2011-11-16 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Scott Waites | German win | 1st turn completed. My boys survived the US bombardment and are not heavily engaged in delaying the advancing mega stacks until my 9-2 can get in and start the party up proper. Finished the game as the Germans pushed back the US assaults. |
