2017-12-16(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British winCreeping barrage broke enough Germans and kept them from routing to safety to allow the Scots to get into the village and follow the barrage right on top of my grenadiers. The Germans took two tanks out with Panzerfausts, but otherwise were ineffective in slowing down the Scottish forces.
2017-07-15(A) Jason Wert vs Gabe Wert German (SS) winNice game from the BtB Pack. Germans setup a stout defense and raised holy hell with the 80mm OBA, taking out two Crocodiles before the party could get started. Tough fire and terrain kept the British slowed and they were not close to gaining the buildings needed.
