Overview:
Aachen Campaign game (Unit Counts below are for first CG date) -- By the end of summer 1944, the situation of the Germans on the Western Front seems hopeless. For the first time snice the beginning of the war, the German Fatherland is directly threatened by the Western Allies, specifically the U.S. 1st Army under General Hodges, stationed east of Liege. On the 2nd of October, the GIs attack the Siegfried Line in the vicinity of Aachen. The Westwall is pierced and the attacker starts encircling the town Aachen has a military value close to zero, but it has a great symbolic value. Goebbels describes it as the "German Stalingrad" and all available reinforcements are sent to the town. The infantrymen of 1st and 30th U.S. Divisions continue their advance still, despite the first enemy counterattacks. On the 9th of October, the 119th Regiment, 30th U.S. Infantry Division, stationed in the city of Bardenberg, north of Aachen, spots several half tracked enemy vehicles moving in from the east. It is the vanguard of Panzer Brigade 108 which had been assigned with the task of taking the town back in order to cut the supply lines of the American troops holding the ring around Aachen. . . . . 5 CG dates, team play could be used (one to control inf / guns, other AFVs).Attacker: German (Elements of Panzer-Brigade 108)
