2011-12-18(A) Fred Ingram vs Are Erlandsen Norwegian winWow - this came down to the wire (almost literally - LOL)

The paradrop was chaotic as expected. I had to spend a turn running around trying to get rearmed. After that, the stone buildings were really a pain. The fighter bombers did very little except on the next to last turn broke a squad. Luckily, Are also had a squad go berzerk - dying in the charge and leaving a building free with a MMG on the floor.

I was able to approach both pillboxes from out of LOS winning the CC rolls.

I made a huge mistake at the end. I could have moved an 8-1 leader into the final building that was in doubt. As it turns out, the -1 modifier would have matter greatly in that I only rolled low enough (at 2-1 odds) to halve his squad, leaving the building in his possession.

Nice mix of pillboxes , paradrop, and air support
