2018-03-06(D) Simon Staniforth vs Japanese win
2016-12-20(D) Zeke Crater vs American (USMC) winAs with others, luck played too large a role in the outcome. Several KIA results left the Marines unable to take the pillboxes. What the Marine player remembered that I did not, was that a captured ART is worth 4 CVP. The Marines captured the 70 ART and with that achieved victory via CVP.
2016-02-18(D) Jason Wert vs Michael Daschbach Japanese winGreat Scenario, but Mike was harshly treated by the dice with 2 squads dying to Booby Traps or Fate. Still a blast to play and we laughed the whole time.
