2025-05-30(A) David Garvin vs Herbert Heyman Japanese winAs part of FNF. My Japanese pressed hard to get the church and whatever else they could to start. In the end, it was enough. Barely. Final CC roll needed 6 or fewer for me to win, otherwise, he wins. My roll? 1, 1! This game was a razor's edge of fun!

2024-07-15(D) Douglas Leslie vs Marc Hanna Gurkhas winHad a blast playing this scenario. The Gurkha heavy weapons were unscathed during the initial Japanese attack but didn't contribute much in the battle that followed. In the end, it came down to an assault on one victory building which only one 648 survived long enough to enter CC against one and a half Japanese squads, both of which were pinned. It all came down to the final CC DR. The Gurkhas needed to kill the Japanese defenders in hand to hand combat at 1 to 1 odds and then survive a 1-4 attack in return. On this occasion, the dice gods were with me and I pulled of the win...just. Great scenario and it is easy to see why it has achieved "classic" status
