Overview:

By the middle of January, “Easy” was on the attack again. Although many replacements had come into the ranks, some of whom were not even paratroop-qualified, Major Dick Winters entrusted them with one more assault to retake ground east of Bastogne lost a month earlier. The “Screamin’ Eagles” griped and moaned in the freezing Belgian countryside, but Easy Company’s vets followed Winters’ orders – and the replacements followed the vets. Upon entering the smoking ruins of Noville, there was an immediate counterattack by Panzer-Division 9. Winters led the remains of the 2nd Battalion to secure the town, which was infested with German snipers. The resulting losses left him with only 20 or so men who had dropped along with him on D-Day.

2019-05-13(D) Tom Kearney vs Lindsey Murillo American winThe Germans refused their right flank and made a strong push in the center, with a supporting effort on their left. The US reserves reinforced the center and their right and stopped the Germans cold.
2018-07-10(A) Louis Langdeau vs Andrew S German winSome mistakes on both sides, but a very enjoyable game for both my return to armor, and my first game of Deluxe ASL. Andy set up with a pretty solid forward defense. I pushed with two tanks on the left and one on my right, using them as battering rams to try and ease up my infantry advances. I lost one to an early bazooka shot, but things were still going reasonably well. My troops broke up a lot of Andy's early defenders, and by turn 3 I had the central building taken to up my SAN, and had encircled an American squad and leader on my right. I made a couple mistakes here. First, I got too aggressive with my right flank tank, putting it very far forward on the bridge in an attempt to hold back Andy's reinforcements. It ended up getting popped when he swarmed it with bazookas. I also piled into melee on the encircled squad, and Andy immediately declared HtH. I had some bad rolls, and he ended up wiping out 3 squads and a leader of mine. At this point, my sniper went on a tear on my left. This left me a huge opening on the left edge, which I immediately took advantage of by rushing all my troops and their prisoners towards it from the center. Andy redeployed, and the last few turns were a back and forth of German troops inching forward on the far left, with Andy's 10-2 and other remaining squads firing at them as they moved. On the last turn, Andy assaulted my tank and destroyed it, but I had enough troops to block his firing and nose over the victory conditions with the remainder. Great fun!
