Overview:
In an effort to determine the strength and location of the Germans before Bastogne, Company I of the 501st Parachute Infantry was ordered into the town of Wardin. Upon reaching the village a roadblock was found, astride the Wardin-Bastogne road. A short firefight ensued, routing the outnumbered German defenders. The paratroopers took possession of the dreary Belgian house and organized a defense. Not long afterwards, the sounds of approaching tank engines grew louder and louder—signaling the arrival of the Panzer Lehr Division. The 130 or so men of Company I were no match for such a force. They fought bravely -- one man knelt with a bazooka in the middle of the street and knocked out the lead tank before return fire cut him down, other men with bazookas accounted for three more – but there were more panzers and too many panzergrenadiers. Captain Wallace gave the order to “Abandon Ship!” He later died leading a small rearguard around the roadblock, keeping an escape route open for his men.Attacker: German (Panzergrenadier Lehr Regiment 902)
Defender: American (Company I, 3rd Battalion, 501st PIR)

| 2024-12-06 | (A) Dave B | vs | Joseph L DiCamillo | American win | Americans skulked well, Germans didn't deploy enough (any) squads, and the Germans came nowhere near achieving victory. | ||

| 2023-07-15 | (A) Nate Gregg | vs | Will Willow | American win | Pressed needlessly and early, resulting in not enough forces and not far enough to secure victory for the Germans. 1) I attempted an OVR against an American 7-4-7 in 24U8 (Orchard hex) which resulted in a wreck and broken squad (who died for FTR); very bad trade though considering the VC. 2) I spent too much cardboard capital trying finish off 2 1/2 broken Paratrooper squads and a leader in building 24S7, which resulted in breaks and CRs for me; from which my center force never recovered. Great game, learned some valuable lessons through the shedding of 1/2" cardboard casualties. | ||
| 2023-03-04 | (D) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås | vs | Juan | American win | ASL Scandinavian Open round 3. I surprised my opponent a couple of times in the opening rounds, and he had to take chances to get into the city in round 4, breaking almost all his infantry in the process. | ||
| 2023-03-04 | (D) Asad Rustum | vs | Kåre Jacobsen | German win | Played at ASO 2023, 3rd round. Close game that was eventually won by the Germans. Was a little too careless with my BAZ losing two of them quite early in the game giving the German greater liberty with his tanks. |
