Overview:

The battle to close the gap between the US 30th and 1st Infantry Divisions and thereby encircle Aachen continued, but the American offensive was being met with stiff counterattacks. General Hobbs of the 30th, who had been so confident three days before, no longer felt optimistic about his chances of closing the gap. By now he had lost 3000 riflemen (about a third of his combat troops), and his weary men were running into ever increasing trouble. On the same day that the USAAF began its massed attacks on the city, the reserve 120th Infantry Regiment-which had taken Bardenberg without opposition the day before, suddenly found itself trapped by a battalion of the 108th Panzer Brigade, which had infiltrated the village seemingly out of nowhere.

2026-05-29(A) Tripp Killin vs Phil Watkins German winUsed this to learn the air support rules. We also learned that the American's face some difficult choices at set up: keep your forces combined and risk the Germans setting up in your midst and ravaging your forces on turns 1 and 2 or; spreading into a few groups and letting only a portion of your forces get ravaged on turns 1 and 2. If you choose the first option and the Germans don't set up in your midst, you should be ok. If you choose the second option, you might be ok regardless of German choices.

Sadly, Phil chose option 1, I set up in his midst and just absolutely ravaged him. We had the Air Support show up on Turn 3 to end the rout and learn the Air Support rules. Basically, we agreed if the American's can keep a decent amount of force alive until the FB's show up, and perhaps join some forces, they could win. We'd both play again.
2024-09-20(A) Will Willow vs Dave Lamb American winGakked my setup but still made it interesting. Museumfest.
2023-06-06(D) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon American win
2020-08-22(A) Jeff B vs Shaun Andrews German win2.75 hrsBeing the last scenario from the first four modules I hadn't played, I was keen to play this. Now I know why it hasn't seen a lot of play. While the setup is interesting, I just don't see how the Americans stand a chance. Americans conceded by the end of Turn 2.
2019-12-07(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winWell after seeing the ROAR results for past games, I wasn't overly optimistic about my chances with the Americans. And after conceding on Turn 3...I knew I'd been right. Tough scenario with lots of intense action from the start. My Americans never managed to form a defensive pocket and as a result, my units were sliced apart by the fast moving German tanks and half-tracks.
