2023-11-14(D) Michael Rodgers vs Vic Provost Russian winThe German accidentally attacked the strongest part of the Russian defence. It did not go well.
2023-11-02(A) Pascal Boileau vs Samuel Macari Russian winA very good scenario. A flawed attack from the German troops and quickly the Russian took the upper hand. I conceded just before the last turn. At least, I've learned something... Nice defense Samuel !
2023-07-09(A) Vic Lauterbach vs JM German (SS) winThis one is tough to lose as the Germans IF you keep moving. In a game with lots of ASL craziness, I scraped out a win. Jim's setup ruled out a push along the west board edge, so I went at building S7 then swung west into the woods and big grainfield along the board boundary. I sent two squads toward the 33O5 orchard as a feint. S7 fell quickly so it became a fight for AA10 and BB8. Jim's defense was aggressive especially the KVs. It came down to CC in 44BB10 and AA10. Every melee was critical. My sniper wounded two SMC and broke two MMC while Jim's managed only a MMC break and 2 pins until it recalled a PzIII on the last turn. Jim: Variable VP are a big + for the Germans but time is on the Russians' side. A timid attacker will lose. I put the 45LLs on the east edge of my defense and they killed a Tiger before being overwhelmed. One squad and dummies in S7 didn't slow Vic down enough, and a second red chit in my turn 3 really hurt as did a PzIII killing KVs with APCR. I needed more than the one CR in CC I got but it was still v. close and tense w/ v. high replay value.
