Starting a AAR, couldnt wait I got at the field at around 8:40 and got my smock and clothes and cold gear on, and helped set up the german encampment. As the morning sun rose, We were prepping to start the first battle. I was assigned with Ray as his '34 helper. We made a makeshift MG nest and watched the American soldiers come into the town we were to surprised to see that they were set with their backs facing the hill, which we had the mg's pointing at completely, when we heard the signal the battle began. We started off good. Ray immediately opened up fire and dropped 4 maybe 5 yankee's right in the back, and while they ran across the bridge i would roll over and shoot them with my mp40, we had a good set up for a good half a hour ray emptied a mag, id have 2 more full, so mags for the '34 werent a problem. it all crashed down when i saw the SS guys walking back and thinking " oh no, our left flank is gone!" i watched as Ray ran towards where they died, to meet what he said were 8 or 9 yankees ;D it was a good battle. (think i skipped where we raided bastogne for supplies ) for the second attempt to take bastogne, me, nick and a few other of my fellow soldats tried to take bastogne with little MG support from the '34 and that came down when the '34's gearbox broke. that battle didnt go too well after that. i got some kills until we all got shot. (skipping more...to what i remember) the night battle seemed fun i went to sleep very early, to be woken up with the massive fireworks display which nick said, the reason they took bastogne was the utter shock and awe and surprised yankee's which seemed like a great battle. after that i fell into the frigid sleeping cold weather. I woke up at 6:00 and listened to some sabaton with nick and i gave him some gummy bears (GUMMIBAREN) which all my food supplies were somewhat frozen with permafrost. after we woke up, to find the other ss guys sleeping in one of foys buildings, bunched up, we headed to help my fellow FJ soldiers pack up for home, with nicks brain, we carried a light crate to bastogne to find out it was the empty tent box to bring it back and grab some other gear to bring to their car. while grabbing gear, i found a broken nerf mortar which i threw over the roof of the ss guys foy house and yelled "MORTAAAAR" it was funny. After my soldats left, me and nick fooled around with the americans until the Defending of Our dear town of Foy. The Defending of Foy was a excellent setup, we had JP on his '42 Lafette and after about 20 minutes the mg got overrun by americans, without a speedloader, i was out of ammunition for the rest of the day. while me and a few other soldats were defending the far left uilding, the german solders were starting to get killed one man with the panzerfaust which i will say, was a good few kills with that, all of a sudden we hear "FIIRRRRREEEE" The whole war stopped because Everyones favorite german Nick Olivo was saying that the wall was on fire, i was expecting to walk out to a firestorm but it was indeed, a measly 5 leaves fire and after that, we all went to the firebase to relax for a few hours, after grabbing some things for jp, we were starting a final game, this ends my AAR as i had to go home at 2:30 so someone else can talk about the final battle. I would give ths 2 day experience a 9/10 my only complaint was the cold weather at night, my feet were completely frozen, but the fighting was excellent. good job Jp and other CO's thanks for putting this together! -Matt

Mat, how could you forget the 40minute sneak attack into Bastogne? Bill, Jeff, I, Mat, and Austin snuck into Bastogne! We opened fire dropping a few yanks and started to blow the whistle in hopes that the rest of the German force would push hard. Only, we didn’t know that no reinforcements were coming.
I’ve never, in now ten years, had that many grenades thrown toward me! Good show yanks! It was a really fun, if not a really short incursion into Bastogne. I think we were the only ones to make it into the town all day… not positive, but, I believe so…
We still won’t reveal how we did it… but I actually have to thank JP and his friend for putting on a convincing show! If it were not for those two and their diversion, we might have been spotted. Thanks guys!

i didnt want to give the yanks any clues about that secret way, theyll use it against us but it was a good 40 min walk for a 5 sec. takedown of around 5 yanks! it was a good fight

What a great weekend! We all had a wonderful time, and were fortunate to have a large turnout. We are back in VA, and non too bad for the wear! Thanks to Joe Migs and his crew, we all had an exceptional Battle of the Bulge.
JP really stepped up to the plate, as usual, and had a special bombardment setup for the attack on Bastogne in the evening. The fireworks coupled with a sound track of artillery was thrilling. It was very eirry being on the receiving end, especially when the explosions ended. It really left the mind to wonder what "monster" might be in the shadows ready to storm the town.
I wanted to pen this quick note, and will write a more detailed account of events as I saw them.

Still tired and sore from the weekend. I'll post my AAR in a few.
But in the mean time I just wanted to show some appreciation.
First of all a very big Thank You goes out to the German CO, JP McCormick. Without JP's leadership and everything he brings to the event, (literally and figuratively) these events would not be the same. All of his props, weapons, uniforms and those unforgettable fireworks. WOW.
To JP's friend John. Thank you for the gracious Donut donation!
To HornetWSO: Thanks for your leadership in the field and your friendship off the field. Steve and his family travel all the way from VA to our events and we always are happy to see them.
To Sam from the museum: Thank you very much for the use of the tent. It was great to see you again.
And a very big thank you for everyone who came out for the event. It was great meeting new friends and seeing some familiar ones. Personally speaking I thought we had a very good turnout and I'm hopeful that the new players will spread the word about our events.
As previously mentioned, I will post my AAR along with some pictures in a few, just need to catch up and take a deep breath.
And on a separate note, I've already started my plans for "Day of Days" this coming June. ;D

I didn't think this event could possibly be better than Behind the Eastern Front, but I was wrong. It seems to get better every time =)
Great game! Best event I've been to so far

It was a cool saturday when Cpl Biela and myself Sgt Palladino of the 82nd airborne division 504th PIR were tasked to head out on two man patrol to find out who was on our flank in hopes to stabilize the lines. The morning was quiet and soon we met up with elements on the 29th yankee division who were on route to assist the battered 101st airborne division in Bastogne. Our two man patrol, having knowledge of the area from earlier patrol led the 29th in search of supplies that had been dropped in the area for the 101st. The patrol was able to locate the supplies but soon engaged in a firefight with german FJ troops. With the FJ troops eliminated we were able to move the much needed supplies to the troops in Bastogne.
It was here I met Captain Hildner and seeing his depleted ranks we offered our assistance for the time being. We were sent on multiple combat patrols taking some mixed members of the 101st with us to cause some mayhem in German lines. In one of our patrols we moved to high ground near bastogne when we were surprised to meet a 12th ss patrol skirting around the city. The firefight was quick and both sides took casualties. I myself took a slight head wound but was patched up by Cpl Biela and back in the fight. It was here we located an enemy forward casualty collection point that we took out of action and headed back to the Captain with the details of our patrol.
Another combat patrol found us skirting through the frozen swamps south of Bastogne. It was here that we saw a quick but fierce fire fight against more elements of the SS. Our four man patrol quietly moved along a small land bridge within 15 feet of a German squad. Quickly I unleashed mag after mag of 45 ammo out of my thompson with disastrous results for the krauts on the receiving end. Grenades and small arms fire took out the remainder of the Germans and we went to work patching up Cpl Beilas minor wounds and searching the dead waffen SS soldiers for any important documents.
The captain again sent my two man patrol out to a hill north of Bastogne to set up an OP overlooking a possible route for a German assault on Bastogne. Shortly upon our arrival we watched as a large push on the city took place with the German forces leaving their backs exposed to our OP. Cpl Biela and myself decided to assist our beleaguered forces in the city and attacked from the German flank. Our flank worked and the German forces were quickly wiped out. The rest of the early evening our patrols went out mopping up pockets of German resistance and helping to secure any breaks in the line within Bastogne. With the arrival of nightfall I was forced to give my leave to the Captain and the rest of the 101st in Bastogne and use the darkness to find our way back to the rest of the 82nd.
A big thanks to Joe for putting this event together. This event had some great action and some of the best kits Ive seen to date! The FJ and 12th SS guys had some of the best kits ive seen and the 29th yankee division were a great addition to the US side. I hope to see them at future events! Another thanks goes out to Hornet for heading up the US team once again. Always great to fight for you!
The next Day of Days event cant come soon enough! Palladino out!

History repeated itself. GI's held Bastogne. Were about to overrun Foy until someone panicked and yelled "FIRE, THE BUILDINGS ON FIRE!" (remember?) ;D and in the "mini game" at the TOC, they held it for an hour. But overall, we all won as it was a really fun event. My favorite part was when we were attacking Foy and I came out from behind a tree to advance only to be staring down the barrel of a panzerfaust pointed right at me! Great shot!

Still composing my AAR but all I can say is what a great event! Attendance was great, over 44, and the weather was cooperating. Thank you Joe for putting this together, you did a fantastic job, the sound effects at night were terrific and the scenarios were a lot of fun. I liked your pictures and now am glad we did not do a frontal assault after seeing the emplacement of the M1919 30 cal. What a massacre that would have been. That was actually one of our attack plans but it never materialized.... thank you airsoft gods I realized we were low on the German count and while at our peak we had 17 Germans fighting, for the most part we were a lot less with various Germans having to leave early or arrive late. Most of the time it was a 2 to 1 fight and our Germans performed magnificently in spite of the odds. We put on a great fight and I know we gave the Yanks a run for their money. We had two successfull outcomes, the first at night when a Grupe managed to enter Bastogne and take it over just before Migs announced cessation of hostilities and the second when the Germans held Foy despite the overwhelming odds. Even though Nick scared the entire squirrel population within a 10 mile radius of the field when he shrieked about the 4 leaf fire that ended all fighting, I know that even without this interruption, the Yanks would never have taken Foy. The momentum was on our side and our Germans did not waiver one bit for one second. It was a very enjoyable event and will post a more concise description in the next few days. In the meantime will start working on the photos and videos. Thanks again to all that attended and a big thanks to Joe for putting this together.

We might not have won the day, but the Germans put up one hell of a fight out there. Being outnumbered almost 2-1 can really drag a team down, but the from what I saw, no one was down about it. There was no "this is impossible" or "we cant win" talk. Everyone just tightened their belt, and drove on doing what needed to be done. I would lie in a foxhole with you guys any day.
I want to single out the FJ guys for a minute. They came with Jeff and I twice on a route that brought us into the backside of Bastogne.
Sadly the first time brought us into town about 3 minutes after lunch had been called. Of course, we didnt know this as we moved around town looking for targets and stealing all of your equipment and ammo.Thought all of you were out fighting the rest of the Germans.
The second time went beautifully. We were spotted by a french couple which messed our plans up a tad, but we still enjoyed a few minutes of downing Americans before anyone knew what was going on. After that it didnt go so well, what with it being 25 on 5.
Anyway, the FJ guys performed awesomely. They worked well as a team, knew when to hold their fire and let enemy go past, worked on completing a goal, and did it. They were very mission focused.
For anyone who hosts a game or is German commander, I would recommend that you use these guys to your advantage. When you send them on a mission, you can depend on them doing what it takes to get it done. Of course, could you expect any less from a unit that Gerry is a part of?

Ok,
Finally feel a little rested and able to dive into the AAR.
Friday, 9 March: Arrived at Bastogne in command of an advance team to fortify the town defenses. In addition, we set up our Battalion Aid Station and added props and sign posts to the field.
Saturday, 10 March: Elements of the 101st AB Division now occupied the Town of Bastogne with very little food, ammunition or winter clothing. But never the less, the courageous troopers dug in tick as ticks and were willing to defend their positions until the very end.
Capt. Hildner's orders were carried out as our forces formed a perimeter defense with OP's scattered beyond the town's line. Intelligence reported that elements from the 82nd AB and Yankee Division were making their way towards Bastogne with badly needed supplies and Ammo. Capt' Hildner established radio contact with Yankee Division and received a report that they were inbound with our supplies. A short time after that, under a white flag, two Germans were spotted moving towards our line, curiously enough, some of their comrades decided to fire on our positions as the two moved forward and were allowed to pass. Ordinarily we would have cut the two Germans in two after we were fired on, but we were curious as to what they had to say. Capt. Hildner, myself and the two krauts conversed and Capt. Hildner was handed a letter from the German Commander asking for our honorable surrender. Capt. Hlidner took the letter and wrote his reply, "To the German Commander, NUTS. Signed, the American Commander. Standnig there and confused, the lead German asked, "Vos iz dos Nuts?" To which I replied, "It means Go to Hell!"
After the two Germans slithered back to their lines, the Germans opened up their attack. Some MG's were spotted in the trees about 40 yards or so from our front line and sporadic patrols were engaged throughout our perimeter. Capt. Hildner and I kept moving between each defensive position making sure we were well covered and fortified. The German MG fire surprisingly seemed to do little damage and caused almost zero casualties. It seemed to be more of a noisy nuisance than anything else. At this point, I ordered a small squad to hook north and attack the MG"S from their right flank. After about 10 minutes the squad returned and reported that they took out the MG and killed several others (snipers) as well.
After about 45 minutes from the start, Yankee Division and elements of the 82nd AB arrived with our resupply. Before that, all of the 101st AB holding Bastogne were limited to 2 mags of ammo each. Now we were resupplied and ready for business.
With Yankee Division and the crack unit from the 82nd AB now in Bastogne, there was no way we were giving up this position. Capt. Hlidner deployed our new forces throughout the town and I gave orders for a spotter in the "Church Tower". Our crack unit from the 82nd AB were ordered to clear the woods North and East of Bastogne towards Foy. Without surprise to anyone, they cleared and killed every German they encountered. After a couple of hours of fighting, we were joined by a LT. carrying a M1 Carbine. This LT. claimed to have snuck through the German lines and was giving me a report on German troop movement. The LT. then took up a position by one of the front barricades and only a short time later did the sharp and observant soldiers of the 101st questioned who he was. Two privates immediately covered him with their weapons and brought him over to me. He was searched and questioned further. His story sounded legit until he told me he was part of Patton's 1st Army. Well Patton is in command of the 3rd Army! Now the prisoner was further questioned by Capt. Hlidner and when he could not answer what his middle name was (according to his ID), he was ordered to be executed. Right then, our crack unit returned from their successful patrol and I thought it only fitting that they have the honor. The prisoner was asked to kneel and then his throat was cut by Sgt. Paladino. Great show!
After about an hour lunch break, we all returned to Bastogne for more of the same. This time, towards the end of the battle as night fall was approaching, several Germans had made their way through our frontal defenses and were on the edge of the town. We encountered some very loud K98 gun fire that seemed to wake us all up and some small arms fire. After we ascertained were the Germans were, a barrage of grenades were thrown at them, thus taking them all out. FJ Ray said he had never seen so many grenades in his life!
The day battle seemed to end on this high note and we all feel back to BAS for some hot chow and a warm fire. After about an hour or so, a small portion of our group headed back into Bastogne for some night fighting. We were spread out thin along the lines and were ready to do our best. Just then some fuses were lit and we were privileged to see some of JP's awesome fireworks. What a treat. As the fireworks started to die down, I started the sound system for the German 88's that were firing on our positions. We held the line as best we could, but apparently some Germans infiltrated the town and took us by surprise. Well done. We know all decided it was time to call it a night.
Sunday, 11 March: Now it was time for our push into Foy. With LT. Dyke being found dead in his tent from a mysterious gunshot to the head, Capt. Hildner decided to lead the attack. Yankee Division was ordered to head out to the south and then hook left and hit Foy from their left flank. The 101st would go up the middle and attack Foy from their front. We would serve as a diversionary attack with hopes of Yankee Division taking them by surprise. The German forces were without some key players who had to leave early, but they dug in none the less and deployed their forces well. We were confronted with heavy MG fire and a sharp shooting panzerfuast that took me out twice, once with a direct hit! The fighting was intense and lots of casualties on both sides. After what seemed like an eternity, our forces managed to get within Grenade and smoke grenade distance of the town. Being only about 20 yards for the nearest building, I was ordered to "Smoke them out" by Capt. Hildner. I then threw by "non flammable" smoke grenade at the building and waited for the smoke so we can advance. Just then, the screech's of "Fire" came out from the building. Thoughts of Mrs O'Leary's Cow entered my brain as a cease fire was declared and a "fire brigade" came to Nick's rescue. After we put out the "Five Alarm" fire, a large number of us decided it was time to wrap things up.
After some clean up and packing, a small skirmish took place at the TOC area. There were 10 GI's defending against 8 Germans. The Germans had unlimited re-spawns and the GI's had to go to the dead zone once they were hit and could only do one counter attack. The counter attack occurred when we were down to Sgt. Dean, Pvt.Varesio and Pvt. Connor. Once we countered attacked, this proved to be the final blow to the Germans. After an hour of fighting, I counted down the final 5 minutes of play, minute by minute. Our men in the building never died and won the final Battle of attrition for the GI's.
Overall I have to say this was a very successful event that had us meet new and interested players for future events. I am glad and grateful everyone seemed to have a good time and look forward to seeing everyone at Day of Days this coming June. I will be posting a new thread on that event shortly.

Saturday started with more trekking from the parking lot to the hill, to the parking lot to the hill over and over again with heavy loads. Then after I was drained from any possible energy left inside me it was time to fight! Me and John were assigned to defend against the paratroopers trying to reach Bastogne along with the SS troops. Once I found a good sniper point behind a rock it was game on.
Very quickly the numbers of American paratroopers grew as they emerged from the trees, at least 8 of them! A lot more than I had intended. As they got closer fire started and I picked one of them off after a short one on one battle. Then soon after that I was nailed from my rear/right; apparently John went much farther than I thought and that left a gap between us resulting in my hit. After heading back to base I joined up with the fresh SS troops and pursued the Americans. We hunkered down close to the town and I spotted a GI very close to me through the trees and then 2 and 5 and the numbers grew once again and I was pelted with bb's. Us Germans were once again wiped out and all headed back to base. There we met up with the FJ troops and my dad to figure out a plan of attack. Then we all moved out; one squad to the swamp and another towards GI hill. As Sam and a German reached the hill they were quickly killed by an American I could not see so I ran up to the top and immediately went prone to revive both of them. After time was deemed enough we stood up; my dad came up and an American popped up on the other side and safety killed all four of us. Turns out they were just on the other side healing a buddy as well the whole time! But then as we headed back the break was called and Jeff and Bill arrived from a long hike with some nice raided American toys!
After lunch the two SS soldiers, the FJ group, and my dad and I stealthily made our way to Kaffir hill. Unfortunately the Americans spotted us and we started taking fire. We all decided the let the squad go as my dad and I would keep them busy, which we did for quite a while. Soon American reinforcements came and our position was overrun. As we headed back the time for dinner was called. Soon after, it was leaked to the rest of the Germans that we were going to bring down our explosives; one German replied, "We're going to blow up Bastogne?" It was a laugh but then seriousness dawned and teams of two were sent out with their dynamite.
Once we all found our positions the Americans came into the town with a very slow and almost cat like pace. Then the fuses went off and before we knew it the whole place was lit up in a frenzy of flashes, bangs, explosions, and sparks! At one point I felt like charging straight into the town with a few grenades but realized looking like a mad man running out of the woods wasn't worth taking point blank shots, so I planned another route. I saw a grenade come from the darkness so I soon returned the favor and killed four GI's in an emplacement. After crawling under the bridge I met up with John and Mark and we were pegging Americans with our high powered sidearm's, but almost simultaneously the game ended and the three of us met up with Steve and the Germans that circled around. Sunday the Americans were pushing in on Foy and it was time to defend our town and base. Me and John moved towards the swamp and sat silently behind two large trees, and soon enough the waves began. After some good skirmishing my BATTERY ran out and I had to abandon my post as I was a sitting duck. After changing batteries and accidently slicing my finger I ran down the hill and into town with a bloody hand. The fire grew more intense as positions were overrun including the MG42 and the outer trees. I stood behind a building with Mark, Zack, Nick, and Josh N. firing long bursts at the advancing enemy. After a while I ran out of AMMO and once again had to run back to base. After determining that the coast was NOT clear I ran across the field anyway aimlessly firing my Luger only to find out that I escaped unharmed. I felt like Tom Hanks running around in the middle of an intense firefight somehow not getting killed. After reloading I moved out and began sniping out a few Americans from a high vantage point above Foy. Then I won't repeat what everyone has already said numerous times but we all know what happened and the current battle ended.
After some more mile long hauls of heavy gear we had our last quick game. I did some high ground spotting, and gave a friendly wave to Joe on the other side of the field. I decided it was time to crawl. I got close enough to the trenches that I sprung up and sprinted towards them only to be cut down due to a lack of covering fire. Then I pretty much lost all sanity and made a mad dash for the underground pipe. I made it in and began crawling in wet sand all the way to the opening. After pestering the GI's in a bunker I heard the word "grenade" among their chatter and decided that I was going to leave that hole AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because a grenade in that small opening would have made my ears, and mental sanity, go crazy, so I leapt out and was obviously mowed down, oh well. As time began counting down Mark and I made a pointless dash into the base and of course died but went down in glory!
This event was very challenging due to the offset numbers but what is a battle without any challenge!? ;D I give thanks to Joe, Steve and my dad as this was coordinated well and had a lot of very cool ideas. It was nice to see familiar faces as well as some new guys! That one tent in the American base was AMAZING that really made the place look realistic. The re-enactors that came set a high bar and had blank fire weapons to add to the realism. This was very fun and can't wait for a nice WARM event for a change! Thank you all and will post a video up soon once I compile a few more pictures!
