2012-02-16	(A) Fred Ingram	vs	Jeff Coleman	Australian / British win	Very close game. The second one in a row that was decided by the last 2 close combat hexes. This time, I did Not come out as well. At one point in the game, I controlled all 4 victory hexes (but not all at one time). Highlights of the game: I was able to make a burning Matilda wreck with my Stuka, Jeff got a critical hit with his 100 mm gun on a German stack. I was able to roll snakes against a large stack of Australians whose survivors died for failure to route (giving me his HMG which he got back later after winning a CC), and finally I survived his 2 critical hits with AP ammunition against infantry. What won the game was getting tied up mid-game in 2 close combat hexes which blocked other movement as well as draining my troops. The hill is very hard to get to the top, with double crests and the normal requirement that to get up 2 levels in the woods, units have to be CX every other turn. I would recommend this one to everyone - either side

2010-03-05	(D) nathan wegener	vs	Peter W	Australian / British win	fun scenario German rushed into the hidden Aussie mortar and 2 LMGs taking heavy casualties early. A CH by the German mortar against the now known location evened the score and set the stage for a see-saw CC battle on the hilltop. Final blow was a Matilda MG'ing a squad and leader poised to capture the isolated gun in a victory hex saving the game for the Aussies.
