Among the Ruins

ASL Scenario 21

Aachen, Germany,  17 October 1944: Aachen was isolated, but prying the first German 
city away form the Reich would prove no easy task. Hoping to avoid the nightmare of 
house-to-house fighting, General Huebner ordered Colonel Seitz, in command of the US 
26th Infantry Regiment, to drive two battalions through the heart of Aachen toward 
the three hills dominating the city to the north. Giving the 2000 weary defenders no 
respite, the Americans stepped off at dawn the next day, but Colonel Daniels 2nd 
Battalion was immediately counterattacked by Germans filtering through the sewers and 
rubble. Their drive consequently slowed to a frustrating crawl. Colonel Corley's men 
of the 3rd Battalion, advancing towards the Lousberg hill on a narrow front, found 
the going no easier.

SSR: 
1. The German ORD appears on turn 2, or later, to simulate HIP. The scenario also 
calls for up to two German MMC along with any SW/SMC to set up HIP. To do this, 
write down the locations that the HIP units will be, and do not place until a later 
turn. The AI will not do this.

2. 10 rubble may be placed by the German player. Any rubble not placed in building hex, 
must be adjacent to a building hex. I have placed the 10 rubble. Feel free to change 
this in the editor, to change where you want the rubble to be.
