| 2022-10-01 | (D) Jobbo Fett | vs | RootinPutin | Republicans win | This one came down to the wire, and although there were some misplays (both rules wise and tactics wise), it was an incredibly tense scenario that saw it come down to the wire. The heroic defenders passed just about every morale check and pin check they needed, although I may have been a little too hesitant to reveal my Steeple troops and my MMG, but all the same it was a great fight. Rootin did everything he could to gain territory, and it could easily have swung in his direction had the dice been more favorable. Definitely a scenario that, barring minor tweaking, could be included in many a tournament run. | |
| 2022-06-30 | (A) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | Nationalists win (VASL Log) | A fairly straightforward win - but the defenders weren't too sneaky with their trench placement and didn't take every opportunity to throw their sticks. They also rolled a couple of boxcars which hurts more due to the SSR, and by the end I'd racked up 6.5 squads worth of prisioners. | |
| 2022-01-03 | (D) Dan Best | vs | Kermit Mullins | Republicans win | First to play and post. | |
| 2022-01-03 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | Republicans win | My Nationalists made good progress up the hill and into the trench. I got hung up in Melee with a single 4-3-7 because I can't roll less than an 8. This would contribute to my loss. I managed to surround the fortified location after securing all the trenches. But Dan had a concealed 4-3-7 that managed to move into the fortified location. Dan had destroyed both tanks and was rolling 2's, 3's, and 4's a plenty which sapped the strength of my final attack. I couldn't break or pin the 4-3-7 and lost the game. Dan's dice were hot and kept his defense intact for the win. Good scenario. |
