Overview:

After Operation NORDWIND, the battered SS_Gebirgs-Division 6 "Nord" was stationed in western Germany to reform. In almost constant action, SS-Gruppenführer Karl Brenner's once elite formation of mountain troops were down to 2,000 men and a single assault gun. Retreating across the Moselle River, the SS men and stragglers were pursued constantly by the lead elements of General Alexander Patch's Seventh Army. All the available troops were rounded up for the relief attempts, including rear-area personnel-and off they went to defend Waldenburg from the fast-moving American 42nd Division.

2024-10-09(D) Andy Bagley vs Matt Ellis American winA combination of poor DRs by me and very clever play by my opponent meant I was comprehensively dismantled in this one. I chose to set up around the VC buildings with just some dummies an my HIP squad with PSK further forward (otherwise the Americans could just bypass the front line and just head for the buildings).
Matt had the idea of turning his AFV turrets on turn 1, causing riders to bail out (SSR doesn't say you can't). Many of them broke, but had rallied by turn 2 so were available for action. Shots from my HIP squad and distant MGs completely failed, so by turn 3 he was close to the VC buildings and I had scored precisely 0 CVP towards his cap of 29. This meant he could risk getting his AFVs in close and using their full capabilities, so lashings of WP, sM and grenade smoke, a bit of VBM freeze, and surrounding me to prevent concealment gain. Oh, and his OBA was effective too. By turn 5 my reinforcements were blocked from coming to the rescue, so I conceded.
Difficult to see how the Germans can resist if the Americans use these tactics.

2024-03-29(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American winAmerican columns came on in good order and avoided any mishaps until Turn 2. Germans went for CVP and took out 2 of the Chaffees, one of the T8's and a Jeep along with three squads and a 7-0. But two German squads got locked in Melees and the Americans were able to sprint into the victory locations for the immediate win. The Germans only needed 5 more CVP to win and were that close. Fun, but difficult game for bothe sides.
2024-03-10(D) Andy Beaton vs Will Willow German (SS) winSloppy play on both sides, the Germans managed to rack up their casualty points on American armour. The American artillery was brutal to the Germans, but a missed accuracy roll landed fire on an American open top vehicle for the last points.
