The Red House
Behind the Barrikady, Stalingrad, USSR 1942-12-05.
The German 6th Army had been surrounded for almost two weeks. Still, it in turn had trapped the Soviet 138th Rifle Division in
a pie-shaped piece of land behind the Barrikady. The 138th launched nightly forays against the eastern edge of der Kessel,
hoping to keep the Germans occupied as the Soviet ring of steel tightened around the city. Once again, the "Red House" ( aka
"The Commissar's House") was the scene of bitter struggle. . .

SOWCHOS(79) II
Southern RUSSIA, December 8, 1942: Following the encirclement of Sixth Army at Stalingrad, Germans launched a relief effort
from their bridgehead at Nizhna Chirskaya, 25 miles from the nearest troops of Sixth Army at Marinowka. The Chir River was to
provide the left flank for the operation, and consequently had to be held. Attempting to foil the German relief effort, the
Russian Fifth Tank Army attacked across the Chir and forced its way past the left flank of the defending 336th Infantry
Division, and on to Sowchos 79, a collective farm deep in the German rear. General Balck's 11th "Ghost" Panzer Division, just
arriving in the area from Rostov to take part in the relief of Stalingrad, was detoured to attack Sowchos 79 and restore the
situation.

GUDERIAN BREAK THROUGH SEDAN II
Sedan, May 13, 1940, France
History: The Meuse River was the last major obstacle preventing a major armored breakout from the Ardennes. It was imperative
that the Germans establish a number of viable crossings before the Allies could regroup. One of three such crossings on the
13th occurred at Sedan where Kommandeur' s XIX.Armee-Korps breached the Meuse.

At dawn the Third Battalion of the 117th Regiment of 30th Division with armor support from Company A 743rd Tank Battalion was
ordered to move southeast toward Boscheln. However, German forces in a nearby barracks had different plans for the Americans
GI's, showing them that they too know how to bushwhack as well as the cowboys they have seen in Hollywood Western movies.

However, German forces in a nearby barracks had different plans for the Americans
GI's, showing them that they too know how to bushwhack as well as the cowboys they have seen in Hollywood Western movies.

Probably, they saw this one:



It was released on November 21st, 1941 in the US, so it could have arrived in Germany before Dec. 11th.

This is the situation at the end of turn #3: 5 VP hexes out of 6 are in US control, the 2 PaK 40 have already been neutralised and only a few scattered Germans remain. They were wiped out to the last counter in turns 4 & 5. In my opinion, this is a not very exciting scenario [:(].

[SPOILER]

The Germans may inflict some casualties at the start of the first turn, but then the US infantry can deal with the AT guns and the US tanks with the German infantry, which has very few (1) LATW.

Simple Equation
Aachen, Germany, 10/12/1944:
The battle for Aachen had been raging for two days. A complicated series of maneuvers designed to encircle the city from both
the north and south had been occupying the American command. These few units committed to the frontal assault on Aachen had
some tough going. Not only were the Aachen defenders numerically superior, but they were fighting on their home soil for one of
the cherished Nazi symbols: Aachen, home of the First Reich.

Fire Teams
Aachen, Germany, 10/13/1944:
American forces launched an attack on 8 October in order to surround Aachen. The 246th Volksgrenadier Division was tasked to
defend the city, but was continually stripped of its strength to counter American attacks to the north. Kampfgruppen were
returned to the division nearly depleted, and some Fortress and Luftwaffe units were sent to bolster its strength. On 10
October three American soldiers entered the city with a white flag and gave a surrender ultimatum. Meanwhile, elements of the
1st Infantry Division had encircled the city to the east and prepared to attack westward. The surrender ultimatum was rejected
based on Hitler’s "Last Stand" order to defend the city. On 11 October over 300 planes began bombing the city, and twelve
battalions of artillery joined in. Overall this did little to the defenders, but turned much of the city into a pile of rubble.
The ground attack began on 13 October. 2-26th Infantry organized itself into teams where each company had several two-man teams
with flamethrowers and DCs, and were supported by tanks and TDs. They had to fight their way through the wrecked city as the
Germans used sewer and tunnels to come up behind the advancing soldiers and conduct local counterattacks.

"Beautiful work" ... and a great tribute to History, as the pleasure of gaming and sharing.

Really.

Wise's War
Aachen, Germany, 10/13/1944:
A 1944 city fight of Americans vs. Germans. The Germans have some infantry and are supported by three 20L AA Guns. Furthermore,
they get three Fortified Building Locations. The Americans Get infantry (1/3 of them Elite) equipped with extra 2 FTs and DCs.
Three M10s provide armored support. What is remarkable in this sceanrio is the large German setup area paired with the US VC.
The Germans can set up in roughly 2/3s of two boards. The US wins immediately when there is no GO German MMC (excluding crews)
within the German setup area. The point is, that many of the almost exclusively Stone Buildings have one or two levels, often
with multiple staircases. Then, there are many Row Houses. So the first thought when I looked at it as the US was: How will I
ever clear all those buildings?! On the other hand, the German needs to make tough decisions as well: He dictate the course of
the game by selecting one of three paths in his setup. He can spread out forcing the US to divide forces and to root out small
forces one by one out of large buildings which will cost a lot of time. However, he will be outgunned everywhere. Or he can try
to build a "castle" and fortify himself there trying to hang on there after delaying the US approach. The third way would be
something in the middle. In our game the Germans tried the "castle" approach. He skillfully managed to pull back basically
every unit before I could pin it down and squash it. However, what helped me a lot that I was able to transport some infantry
forward very quickly as riders into one of his flanks. That way, I managed to close in to the castle faster than anticipated.
The TDs continued into the rear of the "castle" to deny safe rout-havens. If that had not worked out, then my opponent's
defence would have been tough to crack in time. This way, he conceded during US turn 4 for an American win. It will be
interesting to read other AARs on this scenario in the future to see what path the German defender will choose in their games.
The scenario probably has high replayability value. I suppose it is more fun to play as the US because that is the side that
will do the maneuvering while the Germans have limited possiblities to react. Possibly, I might be different, if the Germans
decide to play the cat&mouse approach.
