Overview:
The 331st Infantry’s assault battalion attacked by going straight down the paved highway. Aided by artillery, the troops encountered light enemy fire and managed to cross the river, establishing a foothold in town. A lucky enemy shell destroyed the bridge into town, thereby denying the U.S. soldiers any tank support. Although outnumbering the defenders, the American assault on the town stalled, and a small German counterattack in the afternoon forced them to retire.Attacker: American (331st Infantry Regiment, 83rd Infantry Division)
Defender: German (SS) (SS Panzer Grenadier Division 17)

| 2022-02-25 | (A) Jonathan Plott | vs | Steve Boro | German (SS) win (VASL Log) | Steve (SS defender) and Jon (attacking Yanks) played RPT56 Failure to Assimilate this afternoon, and I (Jon) managed to replicate in painstaking fashion the historical outcome. The Yanks outnumbered the SS more than 2 to 1 (even AFTER the arrival of SS reinforcements), but Steve's expert defensive array essentially remained untouched by the time I resigned the game after the Third American turn. The yanks began with 15 squads; at game end there were 3 good order American squads on the board. Had it not been for a CH mortar shot against a LMG/5-4-8 in a stone building, the SS would have held the field with a fully intact OB. A very challenging tactical problem for the Yanks. Well played Steve B! Congratulations! |
| 2012-09-23 | (D) Paul Messina | vs | Patrick Ireland | German (SS) win | This scenario leaves plenty to be desired. I was the SS defender in this one and my opponent and I could not figure out a credible attack strategy for the Americans. The U.S. is loaded with 6 ML troops having to attack across open ground against some fierce ML 8 defenders LOADED with machine guns. Even though I gave my opponent the play balance, this one just does not seem to be well balanced at all. Very disappointing! |
