Overview:
As January deepens, the northern flank of the Ardennes Arena remains immersed in the fires of battle. Major General "Lightning Joe" Collins leads the American VII Corps, determined to break through the strong German defenses. Tailles, a critical crossroads south of Baraque de Fraiture, becomes a deadly focal point. The steadfast defense of the 2nd SS-Panzer Division and the stubborn resistance of the 12th Volksgrenadier Division pose formidable challenges. Joe Lightning concentrates his forces for a decisive assault on Tailles. The outcome of the battle being on a razor's edge, the confrontation continued until nightfall.Attacker: American (331st Infantry Regiment, 83rd Infantry Division)

| 2025-01-12 | (A) Robert Wiebe | vs | German | German win (VASL Log) | 5.5 hrs | Game came down to the very end, with a single American Crew dying to a failed MC (rolled a 12), putting the German CVP at 43, 1 more than required to deny the Americans. Very good scenario I found, though the American OBA proved completely useless, despite the Pleva OBA rule. In addition both German Panthers Immobilized when they attempted to start, so it could have been much worse for the Americans. |
