Death Solves All Problems rangercote
The Party Ends at NeunenTough on the Germans but Martin made a good go at it. The OBA is the element that will win for the Germans if they can bring it to bear but there are tough lines of sights to make it happen. I thought this would be trivial for the Americans but it turned out closer than I thought. Dave
Requiem for a DreadnaughtThe German attack penetrated and supressed the big tanks - they fell easiyl really!

The Rat HouseRussian advance was too cautious at the start. RJenulis
The Blood of LambsGermans got held up on their left flank by some pesky Russians, who held out until Turn 7. The Germans mad good progress on the right, but also stalled at the church. Called it for the Russians after Turn 8. Even though the hill was cleared the village would not be. Great scenario but the Germans have to be fairly aggressive. dmareske
Round OneFirst scenario with roadblocks and wire for the attacker. The German vehicles hurried to discover the enemy fortifications but, alas, the Polish guns were waiting for them. There were some glimpses of hope when two guns malfunctioned and one was eliminated in close combat together with its manning crew, but eventually the Polish reached the necessary CVP before a single German Infantry unit could cross the central road. mestravis
A Few Rare MenA dramatic French victory due to extremely low lows on vital shots that prevented the Germans from maintaining their foothold in the victory building. Other noteworthy actions being a Green squad killing two German 4-6-7s over 3 turns in Melee - gross!

I don't know if its a scenario error, but I did not see any Errata that pointed out the issue, namely that the Germans enter on the EAST edge, aka NOT entering on Board 18. This makes Board 18 irrelevant for the victory condition and only relevant for the German reinforcements, which shouldn't matter anyways because who cares for a 37L against +3 stone buildings. It's been said before but Urban combat without the pre-requisite tools, such as DC or Flamethrowers makes for unappealing gameplay, and this scenario is no exception.		 Jobbo_Fett

Piercing the AbscessI set up the three 57L south of the stream and the 3 x Baz 44 on the right side in case the German tried to push the more open ground (risking bog) or more straight road routes. German went down the centre pretty much however and the centre was dealt with rather quickly once their 838s came on board. I rolled the extra Tiger for the Germans which helped deal with the nest of Americans in the centre area and the Germans were doing fine until the 155 landed on Turn 6, right on the elevated road (13M5), catching one Elephant, a 548 and the 9-1, eventually eliminating them with the FFE:2.

Germans came up 2 VP short, when the last Elephant was taken out by a hurried shot from the remaining 57L (broken crew, recovered the Gun, spin and fired (rolled snakes on the TK)) as it was about to drive off the board. Great scenario of fire and movement, with a couple of set piece battles in the midst. The Aerial Observer was less than effective, failing several radio contacts and then drawing a red chit on its second Access attempt, but by then the last 57L had taken out the remaining Elephant and denied the Germans the VP required.

Forest StrongpointGermans are pretty tough in this one. 9-2 with two HMG's, a Hero, 48 AP Mines with Barb Wire and nice cleared fire zone...oh and with 80mm Battalion Mortar OBA coming down in tree bursts. Yeah...you'll need a lot of luck as the Russians. Oh don't bother dragging your Mortar, HMG and MMG through the mine laden woods. Just move and hope you survive with enough troops to maybe do something to the German strongpoint. grumblejones
Phoenix RisingThe Chinese took a beating but ended up getting all three guns in turn 6. Dare Death squads were used to good effect drawing fire and getting into some CC. Fun scenario. dmareske
French SpiritGood scenario and a great opponent. My French maneuvered south early to link up with reinforcements from the west and tanks from the south to hit the village en masse (with a few detached to delay the Germans coming down from the north). Germans pushed reinforcements hard down the east edge to come up over the hill and reinforce the village from the east.
Tanks chugged into the village and did ok until the MG version (the most useful one) X'd the MA and recalled. Quickly developed to multiple melees that lasted 3-4 turns, both sides feeding reinforcements into the melees while the few uncommitted French worked to hold off the reinforcements. On the final turn, French had what they needed but one German squad managed to run the DFF/SFF/residual gauntlet and survived to jump into a melee, and the final CC DRs crushed the French hopes. Had a lot of fun with this scenario and definitely recommend.		 RMod
Melting PotFNF Game. This is a very tense scenario with good chances for both sides. Jonas played an aggressive defence that broke the right flank of the British attack. They made better progress up the middle but it was still touch and go when the German PzIV was taken down while attempting an attack against an American TD, at which point Jonas , perhaps prematurely, conceded. Dougban
Par Saint Georges!German tanks went down to the blazing French tank guns. 2 French tanks and one German all stunned. Both French recovered and the German died. French infantry on board 16 broke in the center of the board. Two of the three squads rallied from under dm. Germans failed their personal morale check and chucked it in. Guru Bob
Bastion BodangePaddington Bearz - Jan 2026. Fun scenario. Conceded as the Germans as we were running out of time. Might have been a tight finish if we had kept playing but I think the Belgians had the edge. A mistaken air attack (rolled boxcars on the sighting TC) by the Stuka didn't help the German cause.

Makin TakenThis was a close game which Martin won in the last turn.
He attacked in strength across the North board clearing the Japanese by turn 5.
The Japanese failed on every Tank Hunter die roll and had no answers for the American AFVs. However despite the Americans had overwhelming fire power but still struggled to clear the Japanese.
On the last turn he drove his AFVs into my occupied huts collapsing them but taking out two of my remains 3 squads from my defence of board 35.
With only one squad to defend he was able to overwhelm me and take the 3 huts he needed for victory.		 alexashton@vinecc.org

Phoenix RisingThe Chinese set up all long the bottom with a two hex deep assault planned. This would set up for a potential turn two human wave. The initial fire from the Japanese was ineffective. The attack by the Chinese was very effective including a Critical hit on a Art gun. The Chinese was able to get around the left side of the hill. By turn 4 the game was no longer any fun for the Japanese and they conceded. We felt that even with balance the game is still to pro Chinese. slunts

The Replacements Danno
The ReplacementsMy Russians lost on the first turn, when I MALF'd my 45 AT Gun and broke an ATR. After that the tanks and the Italian squads with an absurd and ridiculous number of machine guns chopped me up. I didn't enjoy this scenario. grumblejones
The Amy HI didn't play with some of the crazier options (just keeping a unit HIP until the end of the game, or allowing the Trucks to move on their own). It's an interesting scenario, allowing for some trickery as the trucks don't HAVE to be ammo vehicles - and why I think they shouldn't be movable on their own - so you can play with your opponent's tactics that way. The Germans were methodical in their advance, but the low unit count and having to take on Stone buildings proved tough. The motorcycles were abandoned instantly. Three German tanks managed to advance on and surround the Matilda II, only for it to maintain Rate of Fire 3 times and blow them all up. The last tank didn't last much longer either. Ultimately, this turned into a German win only because they managed to break enough units and isolate the rest in Melee. There's a serious consideration to be had to have the Armor Leader abandon the tank just to have that extra Infantry Unit to avoid the game loss.

Not terrible, but not something I'd want to play several times.		 Jobbo_Fett

Bloody BurgbergConcur this one is very difficult for the Germans. My opponent set up a strong position and defended it skillfully, but there are just so many Americans with so much firepower and so much time. Moving through the tough terrain is a slog, but I was able to maneuver around the bunker CAs and surround the position, taking one bunker and achieving 2 VCs (CVP cap and majority of squads at Lvl 4) by end of turn 5. German options are limited and pretty much over once they have set up. With the terrain and US ability to attack from multiple directions, they don't have much ability to react/reposition to American attack as it develops. German balance might help a bit but likely wouldn't tip this past 75% US, in my opinion. RMod

Melting PotFriday Night Fight

In my setup I tried a bit of subterfuge by not HIPing the ATG to make it look like there were three dummy vehicles making it look like I only had 1 dummy infantry stack. Also the two 8-0 leaders setup forward with a squad each to look like mg positions. The PzIV in 53L3 was boresighted on 53E9, the mmg in 53M5 on 53L10, 50mm mortar in 53X7 on 4GG1 and the ATG in 53DD5 on 4DD6. Chip's troops entered mainly on turn 1 with the M10s entering individually with riders on turns 1, 2 & 3 on a broadish front through the centre. I conceded in German turn 5 when an important stack fell to allied defensive fire leaving too few defenders to prevent an overrun in the allied's final 2 turns. (VASL Log)		 Paul Legg
Kicked to the CurbEnjoyed this fight and learned a lot from a skilled opponent. I set up for the main push from the center/north, with a smaller flank attack from the south. Russians executed an excellent delaying action, able to mass units and/or firepower at the right times and places to blunt my various attempts to lunge forward. Poles had limited success in the center but I never managed to get my MGs positioned optimally to support the assault. Underscored for me the importance when on the attack of planning several turns ahead on where your units and weapons systems need to be, anticipating the defender's ability to disrupt your planned pace, and having contingencies thought out in advance as to what to do if that happens. An enjoyable fight and a good scenario. RMod
St. Kilian's Bloody SwordVery fun scenario. RJenulis
Melting PotSecond playing of this scenario, this time I had the Allies. Germans mounted a strong defence in the centre, but I was able to get a few units round the flanks, and won by capturing some of the rear-area buildings before the Germans could get defenders back there. Andy_Bagley

All That Glitters Danno
Short Sharp Shock Danno
All That GlittersUndefended buildings in the plains meant a bloody control for the hill, buildings and guns. Needing to take back a couple buildings in Turn 3 the Japanese were only able to manage mutual elimination of units in CC hand-to-hand. dmareske
Strangers in a Strange LandThe French tried a balanced approach through left, right and center. The 60mm mortar on the level 2 hill did its job throughout the scenario, until it honorably failed in the last turn. The gullies were utilized by both sides to move and cover extensively. The greatest mistake by the French was to not reach the far edge with at least one of the tanks before the German reinforcements arrived. That way, these could easily reach the building without resistance. This eventually made the battle impossible for the French. Very fun scenario, with the all-HIP-setup dynamic, and we got a lot of HoB and CC, although little sniper action. mestravis

A Well-Engineered Ambush Pantera
Sabres, Boots & SaddlesGreat game with Chuck. We approached each other cautiously until all our forces were on board on Turn 3 before going at it full force. Chuck had an armored car slightly forward of his infantry, so I went after it with both M8 armored cars. The first missed, and the second malf'd its MA, requiring me to bring up the TD (with my armor leader), which managed to hit and destroy it.

Even so, Turn 4 was looking tough as Chuck came at me with his best infantry (548, LMG, 9-2) to set himself up for street fighting against one of my armored cars, which was still buttoned up due to having failed an IFT MC in the previous turn. Chuck then maneuvered his armed halftracks to try to cover the main victory locations in the road junction, but one of them stopped in the LOS of my TD which scored a low-probability hit on a '4', destroying it. In attempt to set himself up for a kill shot on my light tank, Chuck brought up his second armored car. Knowing I had to destroy it, I took a chance eating the backblast from a bazooka, needing a '5' to hit. I'm glad I did, since the shot (a '4') would have missed otherwise. The squad survived the 2 check easily enough but the armored car crew did not survive the attack.

Having already malf'd the MA on his Marder, Chuck had enough of my hot dice at that point and conceded. Can't say I blame him. Overall I give the Americans the edge since their vehicles are qualitatively better, in my opinion. Fun game with a great opponent!		 Agoldin

The Cossacks Are Coming Dispang12
Raiders Along the WallThe Americans set up with a forward defense, ready to punish the Germans as they entered. The Germans managed to make some ground, but enough of the force was broken that it slowed down advancing. This was compounded as the Americans kept the broken Germans under DM while moving backward to take new positions, forcing the Germans to cross more open ground.

Still, the Germans had a solid chance by turn 4, the southern flank managing to push close to the center victory building while sending a stack sprinting for the building in the rear. They could not pull it off and the Americans held a solid position for the win.		 Turuk

And Then They Landed GOUREAU
Ridgway's MissionOverall I think this is a pretty even match however, the US can be overwhelmed and probably needs a little help at Neuville au Plain end of the board. Ferrying a 1/2 with jeep and maybe a DM mortar or sending a squd or two in that direction can help but, the German's can catch and overwhelm that force in 9 turns. A bad pin result or losing the MMG to malfunction is significatnt. This is how I lost. The southern edge of the battlefield was a pretty good seesaw and after 9 turns my US guys were really beginning to ware down the Germans a bit and a counterattack was in the making.
Tom and I had fun with this and I think it gives both players a good glimpse into the desperation both had to contend with on that day.		 SGT Mac
Dash for the StairsAs the name indicates, this one is all about controlling the stairwells. It will be interesting to see where the Amis setup, though with their ground-level restrictions the Japs can more or less dictate the situation. There's probably only one hex outside the building the Japs can set up in to avoid some potentially withering fire. The east side of the building was guarded with mines and wire and, though the Amis probably fully expected some further surprises, this is the area they chose to bull rush. Once the Amis get inside the building they will be extremely tough to stop, their only limitation being their poor morale. The Amis were slowed by some HIPs, but didn't suffer so much as a break. With the trap sprung, the Japs broke and routed to the arms of their waiting leader, and the Amis would have free reign to walk in the doors Turn 2. Vut not before the Japs poured into the cellars in the west. The eastern defenses were rapidly attrited by the Ami kill stack, and the Japs quickly lost a HS and striped a squad. Meanwhile the 2-4-9 hero was a bitch to take out, even in CC, and he got the best of a Jap HS. Thankfully he fell at the bottom of the turn, as well as another Jap HS, and the Japs burned one of their few precious DCs. There were still some Amis outside the building in the east, slowed by a brave and hearty defender. But Turn 3 saw the Amis fully inside the building (except for the kill stack which moved unopposed into one of the trenches outside in the south), and fully in control of the eastern stairs. The Amis burned two DCs while continuing to whittle away at the Japs, who lost another squad. Turn 4 saw probably a game-saving event. With Ami momentum rapidly growing, the Japs banzaied through the cellars from west to east, forcing an Ami squad to break in FPF, and clearing a path. Their attrition still continued however, losing 1.5 more squads, but the re-routing of Amis to deal with this new menace would buy them much-needed time. And so it became a battle of two halves: the Japs confined to the cellars in the east, as the Amis controlled 3/4 of the stairwells, while the Japs staunchly defended their last remaining access to the upper levels in the west. The body count on Turn 5 was mostly even: 1.5 squads for the Japs vs. one squad for the Amis. Concluding their half of the turn, the Japs made what would either be a game-winning move or game-losing move, depending on the dice, when they evacuated both heavy MGs from the cellars to the trenches. As luck would have it, they got the best of the 9-2 HMG stack when he flubbed his attack, sending him running deep into the bowels of the building. This allowed them to repopulate the area, forming a ring of Level 1 hexes around the 8-0 and three 137s. Virtually impregnable, they would just have to see one more HS hold out to preserve victory. When the FT fizzled out, and the 8-1 and HS leaving the building to dive into the back trenches was gunned down, the Japs had at least 5 VP left of GO units in the building. This one is probably more interesting on paper than it plays, because once you get into it it's a bit of a headache for both sides managing all the different levels. It would probably be helpful to have a copy of the building at hand so that each side could use their own when manipulating all the different counters that will be cluttered amongst only a few pertinent hexes. buser333
Gavin's GambleBig scenario with a River crossing proving troublesome as drifting as well as the possibility of slow progress with loss of MP depending on die rolls a plenty, which probably worked in my favour. The Americans had spasmodic progress across the River and that may have gained me a turn or two before they were fully able to advance before the Dyke. Despite suffering heavy losses near the GG row, which gives the Americans 150% of the exit points, I kept enough behind the Dyke to get lucky with Pins or better. My Mortar and HMG were effective, and the AA Guns less so, although the crew of one were prone to breaking before being despatched by the Allied Sniper. The Americans conceded in T9 when Defensive fire drove my opponent to misjudge MF Gavin himself needed to exit, against seeking to avoid DF from my HMG. T'was a close run result though, and whilst the Germans got a good number of Sniper Activations very few progressed to 1 or 2 to generate a result. Tigernaut
True To FormDicey scenario and my dice were opportunistically bad. Can't say it was a lot of fun, but it played fast! dmareske
LoveluckA tough loss for the British who had some early success, both in immobilizing or wrecking German vehicles to breaking a pair of German squads. Unfortunately, missing out on a kill in CC let the Germans get a foothold in the town and the British Guns were eventually silenced. Cut to the British ATR that almost knocked out a 2nd vehicle and the friendly LMG that needed snake eyes and only got a 3. An interesting scenario, though small enough to be super swingy or not to everyone's tastes. Jobbo_Fett
Retaking Vierville Mellifica
Romanian HammersRussian setup failed to adequately cover the right flank allowing to the Axis to get around behind the Russians quickly. Still, the Russians were able to hold in until the last turn CCPh for the last building. German Stugs were used to engage Russians in CC with only one lost to street fighting. I lost sight of the turn count otherwise I may of had another squad left in the VC area to contest but the overwhelming number of Romanian MMC would have been able to keep them occupied in CC and not in Good Order regardless. Ahriman667
A Handful of Howdy Danno
A Handful of HowdyNot a great scenario. My Americans didn't have enough time to take both buildings, as I was only able to get to the first on on Turn 4. So I gave the concession as the Germans were completely massed in the other building with 30+ factors in both hexes. German 5-4-8's with TOO many machine guns are pretty much unbeatable by 6-6-6's attacking across open ground. Play this as the Americans with your buddy who is new to ASL. He will love mowing you down. grumblejones
Bloody Nose Dispang12
Checking Out GOUREAU
West of the MerderetDerek and I continued our foray into CdP. He said he wanted to
defend so took the Germans. Attacker and defender is a bit of a
misnomer in this one as the scenario is really two in one. On one
side of the board, the Germans defend. They attack on the other
and there really isn't going to be a lot of interaction.

This one was really, really close. The first three turns were
a fair bit of cat and mousing. On the east of the river, Derek
chose to prep fire a bit too much, imho. I made a mistake at
one point and allowed two squads to rout away instead of
capturing them as prisoners.

On the west of the river, the first three turns were the Germans
slowly positioning themselves. Derek found the bocage very
restrictive; LOS and movement-wise.

He managed to take three hill hexes, but I was able to get enough
points over the river to win by one. If we had played the final US
turn, I should have been able to get another squad over.

The Germans generated five (!) heroes in the span of two turns.
Fortunately for me, Derek was not able to unite them into a
formidable force.

A zany scenario with more going on than first meets the eye.

Highly recommended.		 Indy Lagu

Crossing ChaosWO2026. Stephen's AT guns knocked out both of my 75* tanks by Turn 2, which made it impossible for me to smoke his positions on the far side of the river. It took me a couple turns to clear the near side of the river of his infantry and get set for the infantry to cross. A sleaze freeze of the LMG putting fire on the bridge by my PSW and well placed smoke by the engineers helped me get two squad equivalents across with my 8-1. The bridge blew up while the rest of my infantry was trying to cross, killing two engineer squads and isolating my Germans on the far side. My engineer squad and leader eliminated his elite squad and leader in CC while also getting killed. That was followed by his light tanks overrunning the couple of HS which were still by the bridge, eliminating them as well.
Overall a fun scenario which played essentially the same as the historical action. If I play again, I'll just run all the vehicles across the bridge on Turn 1 or 2 to distract the French while my infantry attempt to cross as that will help me beat the the bridge detonation. 		Agoldin
Bastion BodangeWO2026. Rich and I agreed to try this one as I wanted another crack at playing Germans with light armor on the attack. I was able to take and mostly clear the hill and a few building and bunker positions. Rich's reinforcements came on late in the game and he chose to keep them near the board edge. By Turn 6 it was clear there was no way I would be able to exit anybody or get anywhere close to the victory conditions, so we called it a clear Belgian victory.
As for the scenario itself, although the Stuka was nice and got some good effects, I had little idea how to use the towed 37L ATGs to support the attack. In fact, one got bogged and immobilized crossing the stream, and the other couldn't find a position from which to attack the enemy. A better plan of attack centered on attacking in the south or center may have put me in a better position to seize buildings, but would also necessarily have required clearing the roadblock and getting around the wire obstacles. The victory conditions are tough on the Germans. This scenario requires a very good German player for the Axis to pull off a win; an average player doesn't have much of a chance, in my opinion.

Norman "D"FNF game pitting my 5.5 SS squads against a company of US troops led by a 10-2 leader who have 6.5 turns to capture seven buildings. It looks like a mismatch but the bocage is a great equaliser as it slows movement and negates US firepower. Tony's guys came at me from opposite sides of the board. They managed to outflank the Germans defending the north east bocage. One SS squad was encircled in bocage with half of the US OB including the 10-2 bearing down on it. Four DRs of greater than or equal to 10 allowed it to survive. That squad tied up a lot of manpower and eventually won a CC to survive to the end of the game. Elsewhere the Americans were having similar problems rolling low enough to harm the German defenders and Tony conceded on turn 6 when it was clear that he didn't have the necessary manpower to expel the SS from the three buildings that they still held. Fun scenario that is ideal for a quick game in the evening. (VASL Log) Dougban

My Germans conceded in the American turn 6 prep fire when the 7-0 wielding a bazooka finally got a hit on the church and took out the half-squad defending it with a k/2 result.
