2023-04-18 | (A) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | German win | The head on attack, with a small flanking force failed to get the airfield or very far at all. A disaster for the Americans. As show on IR 86 | |
2023-04-18 | (D) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | German win (VASL Log) | This time Martin attempted to destroy the oncoming reinforcements by setting up a turn 3 ambush on the board edge and ignoring the attack on the airfield. It definitely could have gone his way, but without something like this we couldn't see a way for the Americans to win. | |
2023-03-31 | (A) Dan Best | vs | Kermit Mullins | German win | First to play and post. | |
2023-03-31 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | This is a very subtle scenario design. I struggled as the Germans in the first couple turns to really understand what was actually going down. The Americans have a strong force, but it can be handled if the German defense can get some early strikes. The reinforcing Germans have a long road to get exit VP, but they can not exit and avoid adding CVP to the Americans and hopefully inflict some. MALF's on our guns was problematic with the M10 MALF'ing twice. Then on Turn 6, the German sniper KIA'd the American 8-1 and that was game as the American attack was stalled. Germans managed to hold the airfield due to the 37L AA Guns and that provided the German victory at the end of 5-1/2 turns. |
