Overview:
A war of attrition had descended upon the villages of Hatten and Rittershoffen in the French province of Alsace. German attempts to break through this sector and into the open plains beyond as part of Operation NORDWIND had been halted through the combined efforts of numerous American units. However, NORDWIND continued and German reinforcements in the form of an SS panzer division began to deploy to the south of Hatten seeking a breakthrough in that sector. German High Command wanted to ensure the American defenders in Hatten and Rittershoffen remained pinned down and not be available for redeployment. To this end, fresh Germans in the form of veteran infantry from Fallschirmjäger-Division 7 arrived and immediately went on the offensive.Attacker: German (Bataillon II, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 20, Fallschirmjäger-Division 7, and Panzer-Abteilung I, Panzer-Regiment 22, Panzer-Division 21)
Defender: American (B Company, 19th Armored Infantry Battalion, 14th Armored Division and B Company, 813th Tank Destroyer Battalion with a Troop, 94th Reconnaissance Battalion, 14th Armored Division)

2022-07-04 | (D) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | American win | Germans have to push hard. I think the American setup forced the Germans to go a certain direction which game the Americans opportunities to counter, if only they could make a MC. Germans came up a few hexes short of victory in the end even with American poor morale. | |
2022-01-17 | (A) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | American win (VASL Log) | Close but not close enough. The Germans couldn't push home a decent looking start. Full video replay on Illuminating Rounds 61. | |
2021-12-02 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Magnus Rimvall | German win | Another close game decided in the last CC Phase, though the Germans were well ahead by then. Excellent balance of pace and aggression by the Germans, pressing forward steadily supported with very good tactical play. Low American morale failed to stand up against superior German firepower, and I couldn't keep enough units concealed to offset this. Might have been harder for him if a few DRs had gone my way, particularly the CC against a Panther that need 8 or less to kill (I failed), but overall an excellent and very enjoyable game. | |
2021-12-01 | (A) Chuck Dye | vs | DD | American win | ||
2021-11-15 | (D) Michael Rodgers | vs | Hans Bugge | American win | Very close game, not decided until final CC phase. |
