2024-08-12(D) Richard Jenulis vs Tycho Granville German winAmericans played aggressive and took 7 of the VP buildings early. But when they hit the teeth of the German defense, lost two shermans. Game over by end of turn 4.
2024-06-08(D) Larry Rohlfing vs Mike Stubits German win
2023-04-28(D) Will Willow vs Jim Waterhouse American win
2021-09-01(A) Andy Bagley vs Josh Kalman German winI made some early gains and took 11 of the required 13 victory buildings fairly early. However, I made a guess as to where the HIP German AT guns were, and guessed wrong, which led to heavy tank losses and left me unable to cross the canal to take the victory buildings on board 23. Further north I made better progress but the Germans reinforced this area, resulting in a slugfest that i couldn't break. A desperate late charge on turn 6 cost me even more casualties, at which point I had to concede.
2021-04-10(D) nathan wegener vs Rich Domovic American winEnjoyed this one down to last turn. Had a couple of key shots with poor rolls letting the attack get into position for final CCs. A bit too aggressive with my AC's and needed them in the last turn. ASLOpen 2021
