Overview:

Dawn of 10 January held up hope for OKW that their stalled NORDWIND offensive was being reinvigorated. Hatten was largely theirs, and the neighboring village of Rittershoffen appeared lightly defended. Beyond those villages, the terrain was more suitable to panzers in this otherwise mountainous region. To complete the victory, fresh men and tanks from Panzer-Division 21 were committed. Despite the setbacks of the previous day, the Americans remained equally confident they could reestablish the original line east of Hatten. They too were committing new infantry, with the soldiers of 315th Infantry Regiment replacing the depleted battalions of the 242nd. Both sides gathered for an attack on the morning of 10 January, but the Germans struck first with an assault at 0800hrs, just a few minutes before the Americans.

2021-08-28(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba American winThe Americans withdrew methodically under the harsh combined attack of the German AFV and infantry. Meanwhile, the German losses rose dramatically and the VC became unreachable in their last turn... A very nice scenario that gives a furious and wild game.

2021-07-04(A) Jacob Elmqvist vs Kalle Widell German winGermans got lucky in 2 CC and used AFVs to keep the American broken units under DM.
2021-06-09(A) Andy Bagley vs Todd Hively German winI'm a great fan of Hatten in Flames and this scenario is no exception. The Germans tried a huge enveloping manoeuvre sending tanks and infantry wide round both flanks to reach the victory area from the rear. My response was to pull the Americans back slowly, covering all the approaches without conceding too much in the centre.
The luck swung both ways. I inflicted a few early infantry losses on the Germans, but my first HIP M10 failed on several shots to kill a PzkwIV, while he destroyed it with his first shot. Things then started to go my way: the PzkwIV malf'ed its MA, a critical hit destroyed one panther, and the other PzkwIV fell to a bazooka shot. Even so, the Germans made progress on their left flank (my right) and successful CC attacks secured the victory buildings on that side of the main road. The last American turn was very successful however, with fire immobilising the last Panther and multiple shots breaking most of his infantry. With insufficient forces lest to complete the task, the Germans conceded on American turn 5.
2021-04-27(A) Macari Samuel vs Jean-Carlo Debolle German winAFV made the difference with accurate (lucky) shots, opening the way for the infantry to control key buildings. The Americans showed a strong morale but a poor accuracy. A sniper in the last American turn helped.
