2023-05-13 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Tim Osborne | Norwegian / British win | The Germans led off with smoke from the mortar on 2 of 3 Allied positions covering the bridge. Unfortunately, the 3rd position was able to hold back the German assault across the bridge. OBA was ineffective due to tough LOS with the radio setup. In the meantime, the German force entering from the North were stymied by fire lanes and a couple well placed low rolls. The Germans were able to eventually cross the bridge in force, but the delay was substantial. The allies whittled down the attacking force eventually gaining 12 CVP at the end of Turn 5. | |

2023-03-25 | (A) Kevin Duval | vs | Dwayne Duval | D | German win | Germans dropped OBA Smoke on defender side of the bridge on Turn 2 which greatly facilitated the mad dash to swarm the defenders who had no LOS (with bonus Drifting Smoke). Germans had all the 20 needed CVP by Turn 5 and the British could only choke out 10 of the needed 12 CVP by the end of last turn. |
2022-04-24 | (A) Andrew Luden | vs | Rick Luden | German win | Some rough dice on the British side led to an absolute landslide of a victory for the Germans. | |
2022-03-14 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Nick Faryna | Norwegian / British win | Came to an Allied CVP win. Right to the end! | |

2021-12-09 | (A) Will Willow | vs | K. Hannan | German win | VASL Norwegians kept breaking mmgs. Hot sniper for the Germans and 3 Norwegian squads taken prisoner. 2 Brit squads and 8-1 whacked in CC. Called at German 4. | |

2021-03-14 | (D) Stephen Stewart | vs | Bill S | Norwegian / British win (VASL Log) | Since I didn't want to get bushwacked by the flanking Germans, I decided to Punch him in the face as he came on. There are 19Vp to be had in killing them. So 2/3 casualties on the incoming Germans would allow me to win. I defended the bridge with 2 MMG and 2 squads with the 7-0. Scored 3VP on turn one. That means I don't need as much on the incoming Germans!! IF the Germans were delayed enough coming across the bridge (fingers crossed) then He'd have to come try to hunt my NOR/BRIT forces AWAY from the Exit side.... with all the big buildings from the edge...He'll have to bug hunt for a while. Anyhooo...Plan took a major shit as my "attack" on the flank couldn't break anything with 8 even, 16-1, 16+1 shots...SO, I went with the backup plan...CLOSE COMBAT....I don't care if I Trade 1:1 i'll win. Crazy game, beating up on HS's....Ended with a Norw/Brit win with a capture. | |
2021-03-13 | (A) S. Slunt | vs | Colin Jeschke | German win | The SSR 4 must be discussed - We agreed that if there is an "Extra Chit" draw is required that it must be done. That radio contact roll does not need to be rolled until after the end of the first Fire Mission - was not necessary as the Germans only needed the one Fire Mission | |
2021-03-13 | (D) Andrew Young | vs | David Goldman | Norwegian / British win | David had some bad luck with his OBA coupled with a few key CC rolls for the Allies. | |

2020-11-25 | (A) Jason Nichols | vs | Rob MacGinley | Norwegian / British win | A difficult scenario for the Germans. Poor LOS choices for siting the heavy mortar limits its effectiveness. Was unable to get across bridge and reinforcements were unable to clear the eastern side of the river. | |
2020-11-25 | (D) Rob MacGinley | vs | Jason Nichols | Norwegian / British win | A wall of fire prevented the long journey across the bridge The flank attack made progress too slowly to be relied upon for the cracking ot the defence The mad rush across the bridge was in vain | |
2019-08-11 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | German win | Smoke got me across the bridge but advance stalled by 2 MMG guarding the exit edge. I could not budge the MMG with a 9-1 leader until the last turn (the squad was fanatic with a hero as well). Another Norwegian squad tied up 3 units (eventually whittled down to 2) and a leader in melee that was still going at game end. If not for allied prisoners, the result would have been very close. (Allies only managed 3 VP including the 2 scored in melee) | ||
2017-04-08 | (A) Vic Lauterbach | vs | MA | German win | OBA Smoke got the Germans over the bridge then they drew two red chits. Lots of HoB/LC craziness: 4 results in the first two turns and 2 in GT4! Both sides got a 7-0, but the Allied 9-1 and 8-1 went berserk and charged to their deaths taking two squads with them, so it looked over by GT5 but the Allies killed two squads in CCPh to reach 10 CVP - so in the end it was very close! | |
2015-07-24 | (D) Jim Kloss | vs | Bob Eury | Norwegian / British win | The German turn 2 reinforcements should try to move through the town quickly to fulfill the exit VP requirements instead of being bogged down in prolonged house to house combat. | |
