2022-05-22(D) Andy Beaton vs Eric Lindblad French winCASLO 2022 - Harassing fire took out 3 German vehicles, while the other 3 all malfed their MA's. Too hard a slog for the Germans after that.
2022-04-23(A) Tom Repetti vs Tom Lavan German winFrench seemed too strong on their right, so the Germans pushed hard for the Factory and got there in strength before the French could reposition enough. Both players need to read B23.742 and understand what that means for hexes J10 and K12; it's easier for the Germans to get AFVs into the Factory than one might imagine. The back row of the Factory (K10 and L9) offers a nice second-level of defense, with +3 TEM from the front side of the factory since the LOS actually leaves the building depiction. Aggressive German armor tactics will help interdict French repositioning and get some much-needed Encirclements and FTRs. Seems like a lot will depend on how precise the French side can be with the OBA.
2021-06-21(D) Chuck Dye vs DD French winOBA was lethal
2021-05-29(D) Andy Bagley vs Neal Ekengren German winSecond playing of this scenario within just over a week. I was the French again, and tried a similar defence with roadblocks obstructing the German left flank. This time however, the Germans sent tanks through the woods on the extreme left (Row A), avoiding bog and creating a trail break. Meanwhile the German infantry started entirely on the left, then swung towards the centre threatening both victory buildings, so that I had to balance the defence of both. In the event the factory held easily but he surrounded Building I4 with tanks and a few squads. My last turn was a desperate effort to get enough of my own forces back around the same building to outnumber him, and I fell short by half a squad!
2021-05-28(A) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba German winA very nice scenario. Initially, with the Germans, I put pressure on the factory hexes then after loosing 2 AFV by two devastating gun shots, I switched my objective for the I4 building. I rushed for the hills and the plan worked ! It was a tight victory since I lost a third AFV on the way for I4 but a lucky roll in the very last turn ruined the chances of winning for the French. German AFVs are essential to complete the VC, then you must keep them alive as long as you can !
