Overview:

Colonel Robert Sink and the 506th PIR had orders to seize the main highway bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal and then secure Eindhoven, the southernmost objective of the airborne “carpet” and only ten miles distant from the British armor waiting to surge forward from the Meuse-Escaut Canal bridgehead. With his regiment down in good order along the edge of the Zonsche Woods, Sink sent his 1st Battalion racing to grab the great bridge. There was almost no opposition . . .until the paratroopers reached the northern outskirts of the village of Zon. As they entered the village, fire erupted from a concealed heavy AA piece, one of several in place to protect the vital bridge from Allied bombers.

2020-10-21(A) Scott Fischbein vs Will Thatcher German winAmericans made some good progress and had a bunch of units surrounding the exit by turn 4. The 88s popped up and wiped out a few squads before getting taken out themselves in advancing fire, but one of the crews was replaced by a stalwart HS and managed to take out some more exiting units. The Americans got pretty close with 6 out of 7 points exited, but couldn't rally the remaining units needed to get the job done. Enjoyed a great game with Will - an excellent opponent.
2019-03-08(A) Simon Staniforth vs American win
2018-11-30(D) Louis Langdeau vs Andrew S/James J German winTraining game for James, who joined Andy and piloted a few squads in his first time playing ASL. He got a hell of an introduction, because my dice were on fire all night. My first three shots were critical hits with my 88s. I would conservatively put my average die roll for IFT and TH rolls somewhere around a five. Andy and James managed to make a push, but when their last stack that could conceivably get off got broken, they called it.
2018-08-13(A) Jeff B vs John Malaska German winThis is basically Gavin Take with the Germans getting, not one, but two 88s. Being that they can park them right back by the extremely narrow and open ground exit area I would definitely give the edge to the Germans. My opponent had a very good setup, with excellent views to most of my entrance spots. I felt the immediate press of time and was perhaps a bit too hasty in my approach. Losing 3 squads and my 9-2 on the first turn probably would have been enough for most people to call it a day, but I pressed on. My Americans, as is typical for me, couldn't pass a MC to save their lives. In the end the most I was going to be able to get off was 6 VP, and even that was no guarantee. I'm just not a fan of these small and gamey scenarios.
2018-08-13(A) John Malaska vs Jeff Buser American winScenario is not a historical layout. Damaged Jeff's initial entry units, then a HS went on a late rampage & broke units needed to get his VC.
