Overview:

The battle for Aachen had been raging for two days. A complicated series of maneuvers designed to encircle the city from both the north and south had been occupying the American command. These few units committed to the frontal assault on Aachen had some tough going. Not only were the Aachen defenders numerically superior, but they were fighting on their home soil for one of the cherished Nazi symbols: Aachen, home of the First Reich.
Attacker: American (3rd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment)
Defender: German (404th Regiment, 246th Volksgrenadier Division)

2024-07-29(A) Nicolas Leste-Lasserre vs American win
2024-07-18(D) Justin DiSabatino vs D German winGiven the strong American lean, I gave the balance to the Germans this time. It definitely made the approach into the village feel more contested. The Germans set up a HMG in a fortified building on one flank, MMG in a fortified building on the other, each with a leader, and forced the Americans to either funnel through the middle or charge across open ground to be cut down. The Americans tried both routes, and came close, but ultimately had their forces decimated to the point that the VC were impossible and the game called at the top of turn 6.
2024-05-04(D) Ian Fox vs Malcolm FoxA American winThe Americans used their superior range to create a fire base on the right, taking out the German HMG, while punching through the middle after realising that an attack on the left would be suicidal. By turn 4 they had taken the central (fortified) building, using the flamethrower to deadly effect, then broke through to reach the VC by turn 6. German prisoners revealing the location of the fortified buildings, and a berserk American HS tying up the German's last line of defence LMG nest didn't help the cause. Playing with full ASL rules definitely added some zing to the proceedings!
2024-03-17(A) Alejandro Barreiro vs Nuria N American win
2024-02-02(D) Brice Jarry vs Isangeles German winWe found this scenario difficult for the Americans. They were abble to progress to middle of the map, but after, it was a bloody attack ! LMGs, and most german HMGs, made a massacre. Americans didn't have a lot of luck on NMC.
