Overview:

In its second day, the German Wacht am Rhein offensive was already running into delays. The heavily-wooded area east of Rocherath-Krinkelt was the Rollbahn, the planned route of advance for 12th SS-Panzer-Division, and 277th Volks-Grenadier-Division was supposed to quickly open the route. Seeing the slow progress, the I. SS-Panzer-Korps ordered 12th SS-Panzer-Division to help carry the attack and break through to the twin villaghes. Led by Kampfgruppe Muller, the weight of the German attack soon forced the 99th Division's 3/393rd Infantry to pull back, leaving the U.S. 2nd Division's 3/23rd Infantry to hold the line.
Attacker: German (SS) (Elements of Kampfgruppe Muller (SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 25 and SS-Panzerjager-Abteilung 12), SS-Panzer Division 12 Hitler Jugend)
Defender: American (Elements of Companies I and K, 3rd Battalion, 23rd Infantry, 2nd Infantry Division and elements of the 741st Tank Battalion)

2024-03-08(D) A Fifteen vs Tycho Granville American win
2023-07-30(A) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. American winDecent scenario. As the Germans, I sent most of my forces through the pine woods on board 5. My friend played a great fallback defense, and I could never get a big shot off on his men. I eventually started to run out of time while his forces were completely intact minus one tank and a HS. Faced with a mad dash over open ground with multiple fire lanes, squads, resid, and both MTR's, I called it before the massacre began.
2021-10-25(A) Tom Abromaitis vs DrawAmerican win. Solo. Interesting scenario.
2021-03-10(A) X von Marwitz vs Chris Hofland German (SS) winA 'Battle of the Bulge' scenario in which the Germans have to fight not only the American defenders but as well the terrain and time. To do so, they have no less than 18 658s, 8 Leaders, 8 MGs and 5 JgdPz IV/70... Both sides have to do some real good thinking on the disposition of their forces and about timing.

I had the attacking Germans in this one.
