Introduction |
---|
The Old Hickory Division had surged forward and established positions across the Wurm River, making the German positions north of Aachen untenable. The Germans promptly made the situation worse by ordering General Lange of 12th Infantry Division (known as the "Wild Buffalos" for their aggressive charge across Russia in Operation Barbarossa) to assume command of three infantry battalions from two different divisions and attack. Looking for any familiar faces to help, he managed to add his own division's assault guns and engineers to the mix. |
Conclusion |
---|
With the mixture of formations and people who had never worked together before, the attack was doomed to failure before it started. Both sides reported that the German troops attacked with surprising vigor, but enthusiasm couldn't overcome bad coordination. The American artillery racked up a frightful list of German casualties, with the engineer battalion particularly hard hit. |
Additional Notes |
---|
The additional counters needed from Cassino are 3 engineers and 1 HMG for the Germans. These can be substituted with counters from other games. |
