2023-03-02(D) Bill Durrant vs Gary Norman British win
2022-12-04(D) Michael Rodgers vs John Gorkowski German winWe diced for sides; after playing it, I wished we hadn't. German infantry with 3 AFV, 1 flak wagon try for selected buildings vs infantry reinforced by carriers, then by 3 AC in 1944. The AC can't be useful unless the Germans have started very poorly. I had the misfortune of a sniper recall on the MMG carrier before the infantry could remove the MMG. The British need some help in this one. When the AC entered, I was down to two buildings and 2.5 squad equivalents. I conceded soon after the AC entered, took up position and were destroyed.
2022-08-02(A) Richard Jenulis vs Brent Morris British winThis was one of those games where everything went sideways for the Germans. Still it went the distance. IMO, not a lot for the British to do except hang out in the houses, pass morale checks and blast anyone who knocks on the door. Not impossible for the Germans, but not easy task knocking the Brits out of stone buildings.
2022-04-14(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2022-03-17(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Sullivan British wineASL open first round. Brits rolled lots of 2s and 3s and the British Sniper had fun picking off CE vehicles. The Germans were able to get some smoke, but eventually Malfed both guns by Turn 3. The Brits were able to hang on to one building hex.
