| 2020-01-02 | (A) Pascal Boileau | vs | Serge Doba | Russian win | A very nice game. The Germans were too shy in the first turns so they have to take major risks in the last turns. But the Russians were astutely placed by Serge and the German final rush (and their hope) was definitely stopped and buried... |

| 2018-05-20 | (A) Michael Rodgers | vs | Paul Suderman | German (SS) win | Played without balance. Only 1 HS and an MMG covered the right side while the rest of the Germans pushed through the woods. Germans took most of there buildings on the second to last turn. Final building taken on last turn. |
| 2018-01-23 | (A) X von Marwitz | vs | Stephan Jacobi | Russian win | A much played infantry only scenario which pits a crack German force vs. a crack
Russian one. I had the Germans in this one.
With regard to the general tactic, there's no magic in this one: Woods on the German
left flank, open ground to the right, victory buildings in the back.
The Russians must cover the open ground to deny the Germans any quick route and force
him to punch through the woods. In the woods, the Russian needs to stage a classic
fall-back defense and to prevent the Germans from piercing the line anywhere, while at
the same time always have in mind covering the open ground even when he begins to take
losses. With Russian elite troops and woods all around, the Russian 10-0 will stage as
the "Instant-Rally" station. Following this plan, the Germans will hopefully run out
of time to take all buildings.
My Germans figured out the deployment of the Russian troops quick enough. As the
general path of action is pretty clear in this one, the challenge lies in the order in
which every single move is conducted and in instantly taking advantage of DRs that
shift the game this way or the other. By this, the Germans might eventually prise open
the Russian block and force him to fall back more quickly than planned. The Germans
won't be able to avoid moving up ADJACENT to Russian units lurking to dish out
punishment.
Unfortunately for my Germans, they received rather serious punishment quite early in
German Turn 2, losing 2 squad equivalents to K/# and KIA results and having a further
3 squad equivalents and the 8-1 Leader broken. This might have been ok, if the ensuing
Advancing Fire would have provided some revenge, but until the end of German Turn 2
the Russian was unscathed execept for a loss of 2 squads due to a FT & DC & Advancing
fire combo on a single hex.
Instead of Rallying, my second best leader decided to roll boxcars and to round it off
another HS did the same. Together with the previous run of events, this had me a bit
annoyed, as it became forseeable, that the scenario had turned into an uphill-fight
for the Germans very early, further burdened by the impact this had on the CVP cap.
What followed was a bit of Germans having to move ADJACENT, Russians taking PB-shots,
Germans hoping for some exploits by Advancing Fire, then Russians falling back to
regain concealment and their brokies running for the 10-0 Commissar. Rinse & repeat.
Eventually, the Germans were getting the upper hand in the Woods, but at considerable
cost. The Russians taking a Prisoner HS did not help either. The German FT had X'ed
out on its second shot.
Before emerging from the woods, the Germans had already suffered 14CVP, so there was
noch much leeway for fancy moves. While Russians had taken considerable losses, the
Germans could not sufficiently outflank them to prevent escape. The Russians had their
10-0, their 8-1 and 3x628s left on the woods flank and a 228+MMG and 8-0, 328+MTR on
the open flank.
My Germans took 4 buildings close to the woods and managed to cross the road to the
"open" flank where they took out the 228+MMG and two more buildings. Due to time
pressing, I had to take the chances of a 1-1 Melee in the 7th building and was in
position to reach the 8th one in my final MPh, though the odds were not exactly
looking inviting. On top of that, one single more CVP would bring a Russian win. This
exactly happened in the 1-1 Melee of the 7th Building which ended the game with a
Russian win.
Given the bad situation the Germans were in from early on, I can be content with what
they managed to archive in the end.

| 2017-10-08 | (D) jon smith | vs | germans | German (SS) win | Russian defence was holding strong even if they couldn't stop the germans piling through the woods... but at a critical moment a snake eyes for an nmc on a ldr made him beserk and he took my HMG and MG team with him... removing me of all cover on the left flank and giving Germans the space to take the village... ouch. |

| 2017-01-31 | (A) Milton Soong | vs | Mark Pandori | Russian win | It came down to the wire, and the Ge lost by one building.
The Ge made early gain through the woods, but then got stuck on the edge of the village. The Ge had a kill stack on the lvl1 bldg but did little damage, and finally lost the 9-2 leader to a sniper on turn 3.
Later had two Ge squad broke out and went around and took two of the bldg, but timely Ru counter attack took them back by turn 5. By the end of the game the Ru had a kill stack (leader + hero + HMG) that defies any attack.
Great scenario... |
| 2016-10-05 | (D) Andy Joy | vs | Rich Domovic | German (SS) win | Fun game with Rich. My first game played at ASLOK. Came down to the wire with the Germans getting control of the 8th building on the final turn with the last CC attempt... For the win! |

| 2015-01-25 | (D) Bill Brodie | vs | Malcolm Cameron | Russian win | Cancon 2015. I played this for the win of a mini repocharge, after loosing the first game of the tournament. Boy was this one tight, the Germans just slowing forced the Russians back through the woods without loosing a man. On turn 4 I had to decide to skulk back from the forest or counter attack with the modest forced I had left. In they went! 2 player turns later I had smashed the Germans, killing 9 CVP and breaking 6 other squads. The German player conceded! Victory from the jaws of success! |
| 2014-10-08 | (A) Michael Focht | vs | Andrea Pagni | Russian win | |
| 2014-04-29 | (A) Lee Hyde | vs | Eoin Corrigan | Russian win | Struggled with this one. Wasn't aggressive enough for first two turns and then left chasing. Didn't help that Russian fire tended to miss or Kill. I was prepared for Rallying but just didn't happen. Tied up in Melees too despite 2:1 advantage or better. Russkies even managed a self rally under DM. The Russian Bear gave a mauling. |

| 2011-06-18 | (D) Jeff Waldon | vs | Dale Wetzleberger | German (SS) win | FtF ATL - I ignored the recommended Russians deployed forward in the woods set-up and paid the price. Good game with a well known SL & ASLer. |
| 2011-04-22 | (A) Ian Willey | vs | MacRob | German (SS) win | Good game that luck gave me the inside track which allowed me to take advantage and push for the win |

| 2006-10-03 | (D) Bill Brodie | vs | Scott Byrne | Russian win | Tight all infantry affair. Germans have to cover ground fast in the face of fire, but SS troops can do that. Watch out for the hidden half squds. |

| 2006-08-13 | (A) Michael Pierzchala | vs | John Richards | Russian win | Excellent scenario that cam down to the last CCPh, and could of gone either way. Plenty of chrome and toys, like Commisars and FT/DC to make it intersting. |
