Overview:
Having pushed Turnbull's platoon out of Neuville-as-Plain, the Germans continued to advance on Sainte-Mère-Église at dawn on 7 June. German troops, with typical efficiency and ferocity, appeared imminent. However, defending the north side of the town were members of Vandervoort's 2nd Battalion, including Company D. The fighting was ferocious as the paratroopers defended against hordes of German infantry, giving ground only when there was no other option.Attacker: German (Sturm-Bataillon AOK 7, 7. Armee and Grenadier-Regiment 1058, Luftlande-Infanterie-Division 91 with Panzerjäger-Abteilung 709)
Defender: American (Company D, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)

| 2024-01-14 | (A) Andy Goldin | vs | Tom Reitter | German win | Tom's paratroops had me bottled up pretty well along the paved road for the first couple turns, with his laser-like kill stack (his heroic 9-2, 2 747s, MMG, BAZ) shredding my 'assault troops' from behind the stone wall, inflicting substantial losses (the 9-1, 2x 537s, and others double-broken or KIA). I managed to force the flank on the German left with my reinforcements, exploiting a hole created by my sniper which broke the 747 on the US far right / German left. While it was great his heroic leader had a 10 morale, as it turns out, heroic leaders are brittle. I used my SP gun to smoke the stack (which now had a 747 and MMG) and place a demo charge. The DC caused a K/4, and the heroic leader got randomly selected for the K. He survived (was wounded) but failed the 4 check, eliminating him. Once I got around his flank and neutralized his kill stack, Tom decided to concede (although I'm not entirely sure it was over). Important point: as it turns out, Heroic Leader DRM doesn't stack with the leader's inherent DRM -- you get one or the other, not both. The play is probably to make the 8-0 heroic, thereby giving him a -1 DRM. | ||
| 2023-10-30 | (D) Jeff Wright | vs | Stu Rubin | German win | |||
| 2023-09-30 | (D) Maurizio Mai | vs | John Fedoriw | American win | Interesting scenario, short and with an interesting VC. It looks to me a bit pro-US. Tough decisions on the German. The German attacked along the whole front, and during the game move the balance south to north, but a couple of lucky shots across the Bocage seal the scenario. Probably the AFV has to smoke instead of shooting. I would replay it as a German. |
