Overview:

The reserve of the 12.SS-Panzerdivision “Hitlerjugend”, the 26.SS-Panzergrenadierregiment, finally had negotiated the poor roads and traffic jams along the German line of communications and arrived in Büllingen, ready for its first commitment in the offensive. Shortly after day broke on 22 December patrols from the 26.SS-Panzergrenadierregiment commenced to probe at the American 2d Battalion, 26th Regiment’s lines. The fresh German regiment, however, set out to vary the unsuccessful headlong tactics previously employed by striking at the flanks of the Dom Bütgenbach position. The first probing assaults, shortly before 10:00, were carried out by panzergrenadiers supported by Jagdpanzer IVs through a gap between Companies A and K, on the right of the 2d Battalion lines.

2025-07-25(A) David Garvin vs Peter Catchpole German (SS) winAs part of Friday Night Fights. My SS lads ended up losing only a HS along the way. I played aggressive and ran the Jagd IV off the board early to get some precious EVP. After that, a methodical approach ended up taking out the initial Americans, and I learned to keep less than 2 hexes from his mortars, which were relatively ineffective on his part. Noteworthy: though we both his SAN often, no sniper attacks at all.

Great fun scenario.
2025-07-25(A) Paul Legg vs Chip Wertenberger American win

(VASL Log)		Friday Night Fight

As the victory conditions allow an instant win I went aggressively to try and exit by turn 3 before the american reinforcements arrive. Relying on the mist and morale to get me through. Chip had maxed out on the variable ? provision which alowed him to have three dummy stacks of 3. I was faced with a frontal defence of 2 stacks on each board edge and three in the centre with a back guard centrally at the back of the woods. As I only needed to exit 7VP to win I elected to split my force in two. 3 squads, 1 of which was split into halfsquads, and the 8-1 leader along the east flank, the other 3 squads and 9-1 leader armour assaulted with the JgdPz (only the crew and armour leader count for exit points) along the road.
two squads in the centre attack pinned next to the isolated building but the remaining squad and leader made it to H5 where they would advance into I6 and remove a dummy stack. To the east one half squad cx'd to f10 drawing some fire and the remaining stack cx'd through F9 where one pinned and on into G9. Despite losses the germans looked to have just enough in position to get the early win at the start of turn 3. A squad and leader cx'd to q10 ready to advance off. The JgdPz was stopped in N7, where it had stopped after overrunning a mtr hsquad in the same hex, to provide cover for a following squad which broke before getting there. It starts and the atg in O7 opens up taking it out with a D57 round. Now I have to contend with the Ami reinforcements, the remaing germans try but have to concede at the end of their turn 4.

2022-08-04(A) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Rodgers German (SS) winPlayed this over lunch at 1 hour 40 minutes. Germans were able to exit the AFV on turn 5 and a battle hardened 9-2 leader with a couple squads on turn 6. At the start of turn 3 the Americans had no GO units on the board.
