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)

2026-03-19(A) Alvaro Radigales vs German American winA well-placed German MG gave the Americans a bit of a headache, but in the end their overwhelming firepower and some lucky rolls won the day. A fun scenario that highlights the differences between both sides' infantry and equipment.

2025-10-16(D) Ian Fox vs Rich Pito American winThe GIs launched a three-pronged attack, effectively spreading out the German forces. The centre with the HMG and fortified building held, but the Americans were able to get a series of squads across the fields on the left, taking advantage of the poor range of the German conscripts and excellent placement of their MMG in a forward stone building, preventing the Germans from moving more troops over to reinforce. It was over by turn 6 as the Americans swarmed through the buildings in the rear.
