2025-03-29	(A) Tuomo Lukkari	vs	Matias Dahlbäck	French win
2022-05-03	(A) Jeff B	vs	Joe Arthur	French win	8 hrs	10-2 kill stack was plastered by opening turn fire from the PB, taking two squads down with him. German sniper was also eliminated. Meanwhile the Germans did manage to clear the village of all but one French HS. Germans were able to take the central woods mass Turn 2, while the French mortar and HMG broke. The HMG would break no less than four times throughout the game, but always seemed to manage to come back in time to harass the Germans, Turn 3 saw the German reinforcements enter the north central woods to root out the sole remaining Frog on Board 41, en route to the first level of V8. Meanwhile in the east the two starting MMG units finally both rallied to make for the same. The other French PB revealed itself on the west end of the central woods and was relatively ineffective, being eliminated the following turn. The French gun smoked in the V8 MG stack, forcing them to take the time to relocate to the first level of W9, while the Germans swung the brunt of their attack around the south of the hill, knowing full well there'd be wire to plow through. The French gun, having lost smoke, proceeded to pound the new German MG position, and the Germans were never able to keep it manned with much firepower. In the end the Germans were able to take 2/3 of the Level 2 hexes, but the PB was too well-manned and surrounded by bodies. Perhaps this would've been fun had the French not kept RoF so many times at key moments and the gun not been so destructive, but losing the 10-2 to kick things off was pretty much the nail in the coffin from the word go.
2021-08-28	(D) Andy Hershey	vs	John Haughey	French win		[Imported from ROAR]
2013-11-14	(A) Andy Beaton	vs	Tom West	German win		Walkover for the Germans after the French malfed their 75 and HMG and hot German dice started hosing down the hill with unreachable HMGs.
2013-01-27	(D) David Ramsey	vs	Martin Barker	French win		The Germans stormed forward in good time and with few casualties, but hit a brick wall trying to take the pillbox-hill complex. Looks tough on the French to start with, then even tougher on the Germans at the end!
