Overview:

Having suffered severely from a German counterattack on 11 July, 1st Battalion, 115th Infantry Reg­iment, 29th Infantry Division had been unable to participate effectively in the Di­vision's attack towards St. Lô that day. Four days later, the Regiment's other two Battalions were exhausted from their attacks, and now it was the turn of the Battal­ion commanded by Major Glover S. Johns, Jr. While Company C engaged on the right flank, Lieutenant Peter Kordiyak's Company B, attacking on the left flank, faced a ravine to cross on the other side of which the Germans defended from dug-­in positions in a large, wooded area. With Division commander General Charles Gerhardt demanding immediate results from the 115th commander, Colonel Godwin Ordway, Jr., Johns was ordered to attack over open ground.

2025-02-09(D) Jon Jaramillo vs Jim Aikens German win2 hrsThe Americans set up with a kill stack at level 2 with all the German units set up in foxholes concealed at the edge of the woods. The Germans survived prep and held their fire through the American mph. They eliminated two real units and two dummy stacks on turn 2. I hipped the mortar in R6 and the plan was to keep it quiet as long as possible maybe not allowing the Americans enough time to deal with it. The Americans made a huge push into the woods while the Germans kept creeping back and retaining concealment, trying to stretch out the game. Finally in turn 4, I caught his kill stack running down the road and got a break and a pin with the mortar. In the German half of the 4th turn, i dropped concealment and absolutely pummeled five adjacent stacks with point blank fire and rate, eventually breaking every squad next to me. A quick run around behind by a German unit facing down 2 fire in 3 hexes was preparing to move into position to get three hexes worth of Americans for FTR when the Americans conceded. This is a great, tense scenario. Once the Americans get in you, there's very little space to operate.
