| 2025-08-15 | (D) Tim Reade | vs | Dave Mareske | German win (VASL Log) | Dave and I played this in 2nd round the ASL Scenario Archive VASL tournament as a pre-release playtest version - which as far as I can tell is unchanged in the action pack, hence me reporting this playing here. This was a close game in the end, which part way through looked like an easy German victory, but a swing back to the Americans mid-game cretaed a tense finish. I was able to rout away in the last player turn, invoking the SSR, to take the result out of Dave's reach, with a handful of CC's (all in his favour) that would have otherwise decided the game. Tense game, exciting finish, great opponent. | ||
