here is the aar
(done by medic, who was, well... our medic. and during their attack, i was in an listining post, and i was the one who killed the 3 man scout. And i was the first one to die because of our own tripwire... )
[SIZE=2]Scenario 1: Breaking the Siegfried Line
"Lt. Johnson broke us up into Platoons/Squads. 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 2/2. Each squad was in charge of a different route or defense. As all four began to march down to the town, we received our first 3 casualties from our own tripwires. 3 WIA, 0 KIA. The rest of the march to the town was uneventful, and the town was vacant. The road leading away from the town [and to the Siegfried Line], however, was the first combat of the day. The .30 cal was set up on a building and was suppresing the enemy in the woods and trenches to the left of the road. Other units were holding the road, and Ed had his mortar firing into the line. Our casualties in the woods and road were 5 WIA (Mccalion 2 times 
), 0 KIA.
After we had penetrated the first line of defense, the second defense was manned by the rest of the German forces (?). American forces had tried flanking to the left, but were pinned down with heavy casualties. The assault was furthermore bogged down as the main road came under suppressing fire. The assault had about 12 WIA, 4 KIA (again, Mccalion was hit 5+ times).
Sam then led a flanking maneuver around the heavily wooded right side, myself armed with a Carbine. As we came up upon the Germans' extreme left flank (our right), we captured one bunker, but all of us in it - Sam, Hunter, myself, etc. - were captured by a Partisan who ehem faked a surrender. Somehow, after that, the entire American force except Alex was also captured. 20 POW, 1 KIA.
Leaving total American casualties for the 1st Scenario:
17 WIA 5 KIA 20 POW
Scenario 2: Surrender Attempt
After the staggering American losses while trying to break the through the Siegfried, the Germans demanded complete US surrender. 1 German officer, 1 Adjutant, and a Medical Officer came to the US camp to request so. Instead, Lt. Johnson denied and captured the German Adjutant. Our objective was to hold him for until 1700, and I believe it was 1430. After the capture, supposedly, there was to be a German assault en-mass, but we waited for a good 40 minutes until first contact was made; which was an advanced patrol killing 3 of them. The American camp on the hill was soon surrounded from a flank-attack to our left (facing outward). The .30 cals were suppressing the Germans and got them to give up half of the ground, to the right. Soon, we the rest of the assault deteriorated and we just kind of went to dinner. 
Our casualties below the hill from US Recon patrols were about 7 WIA, 1 KIA. Casualties up-top were 11 WIA, 3 KIA (Mccalion was hit another 3 times). We managed to keep the Germans at-bay until 1700, and we took 4 EPWs (Enemy Prisoners of War).
Total American Casualties for the 2nd scenario:
18 WIA 4 KIA 0 POW
[SIZE=3]Total US Casualties: 35 WIA, 9 KIA 20 POW[/SIZE]
-----------------------------------------------
I left after the 2nd scenario, I was so tired and felt that I could no longer fulfill my duty as medic. For a few reasons: I was tired as hell; Musquitos ate my face; I was out of bandages. The raffle prizes were also quite awesome: a WE Luger P08 (Artillery Version); A WE 1911A1 GBB; 2 Cyma Thompsons; 6 bags of high grade .25 and .2 grade BBs (one of which I won). Thank you again Gordak for the free tickets fro my medic role (it was rigged 
)
