Overview:

The original German opening for the Battle of the Bulge was somewhat subdued. German infantry, with little armor support, was to seize key road junctions early so the armored formations could quickly pass through and exploit a breakthrough. One such place was the town of Buchholz, which sat alongside an abandoned railroad. It was held by a company of American infantry who were lined up for chow outside the town when a company of the German 27th Fusilier Regiment came down the road. Neither side expected to find the other here, and there was a dramatic moment of mutual surprise as both sides scrambled to deploy.
Attacker: German (Fusilier-Regiment 27, Volksgrenadier-Division 12)

2021-01-18(D) nathan wegener vs Scott Martin German winClassic scenario - my Americans did well at first especially the sniper who racked up 4 CVP of his own. Sadly for me the Americans couldn't stand up once the Gemans started focusing their fire... Mental gymnastics to switch back to old school shoot and advance...
2019-03-24(A) Jeff B vs Phil Wentworth German winI had the rare pleasure of playing a FtF game against one of my semi-regular opponents who was here on business. We were planning to play this one anyway, but it worked out perfectly since the setup is so scripted. My Germans spent Turn 1 charging forward, while the 10-2 gathered all MGs around him he could to make sure he dominated the "Y" road. The next turn was mostly spent just jockeying for position. Turn 3 saw me start to gain a foothold in the woods in preparation for my assault on the hill (which is where my attack got funneled). By this time I had stripped a lot of American concealment, started to break a few units, and even gained my first CVP with a dead HS. Turn 4 was an absolute jailbreak however, as the entire western side of Americans were either broken or out of position. This allowed me to sweep forward and ensure myself at least two full squad prisoners and possibly a truck, plus putting me on the doorstep of leaving the board entirely. The Americans decided to throw in the towel at this point as their chances looked bleak. Had a great time!
2018-09-02(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Duenskie, Ron American win
2018-02-04(D) Gordon Jupp vs Simon Church German winGood scenario, I put the half track up front to early and lost it, doh, 5 CVP when the VC are only 13...Lost by T6
2017-11-23(A) Tom Abromaitis vs American win
