Overview:

On D+1 of Allied Operation MARKET-GARDEN, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment advanced south from Son along the main road to Eindhoven to meet up with British XXX Corps advancing from the south. Vlokhoven was a small village about midway between the two forces. On the left flank, H Company ran into a large hedge around what was discovered to be a large potato field. The Germans had a small blocking force which defended the potato field strongly.
Attacker: American (Elements of H Company, 3rd Battalion, 506th PIR, 82nd Airborne Division)
Defender: German (Elements of Fallschirm Ersatz-und-Ausbildungs-Regiment Hermann Göring)

2022-12-03(D) Michael Rodgers vs Tom Cvetinovich German winAmerican paratroops try to clear an area of second line Germans in 1944 while avoiding a CVP cap of 8 points. My defence was mostly entrenched behind the second hedge but also a squad behind the first hedge and in the wooden building. I also had a HS with several dummies in the left buildings, pretending to be the MMG team with a leader. Tom knew he had to move fast and made great use of infantry smoke to protect his troops, although I still managed to break a few units. In the last American turn, they were close to being able to CC every German stack but a sniper pinned one of the squads.
2022-11-10(D) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler German winRob's US had a tough time in this one.

Civilian and prisoner interrogation are in effect in this one,
but did not come into effect.

The Germans are brittle, and have the challenge of setting up so
that they can fend off the US onslaught. However, after setup,
there's not a lot for Jerry to do but skulk.

It's worth playing. A few poor dice rolls can collapse the German
position in a hurry.
