2025-03-29(D) Eben Johnson vs Mike Van Hoy Allied winWell, I'm an idiot. Panthers count as 3VPs, not 1VP as do the other AFVs---read the VCs every turn! Apart from one good PSK shot against an uncareful British AFV, my troops couldn't do squat---not one sniper, pinned on every PF attempt, K'd on my MC's, etc. And he ran around with ease. He had some bad luck too, but it didn't harm him. My tactics were sound. If I had not duffed reading the VCs, and had my bad luck and his good luck been less extreme, it woulda come down to a last CC. I kept a HIP'd half squad near the southern factory, but there's nothing to do when one fails to remember the VCs. Rookie move. Fun scenario, fun opponent.
2025-01-10(A) David Garvin vs Erik Grande German winFor FNF. Quite fun and a challenge for the Allies.
2024-09-18(A) Andy Bagley vs Savo Barbero German winA tense game, with the dice ultimately deciding it. Unlike other AARs on this scenario, the Germans here started with their Panthers well to the rear out of harms way. If they stayed there, this meant I had to capture two victory buildings without losing any AFVs - not an easy task in just 5 turns.
I came in from the south and captured the first building quite easily. The second was tougher though, as I felt I needed to keep my tanks back out of PF range so they were just giving fire support. I got a lucky break when the German halftrack ventured out and was knocked out by an unlikely hit. But the Germans then came back, creeping the Panthers forward and knocking out a Cromwell (which failed its motion attempt) with bounding fire. I eventually captured the second building but lost another Cromwell to a HIP squad with a PSK, whilst the Cromwell VI malf'ed (and subsequently broke) its MA.
So I still needed more VPs to win, and my opponent gave me a chance with a mistake on his last player-turn which gave me a rear shot on a Panther in my final turn. I needed 7 or less to hit, but rolled an 8, and that was it. Good scenario though.
2024-09-17(D) Savo Barbero vs Opponent Aanonymous German win[Imported from ROAR]
2024-04-18(A) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler Allied winWhat a crazy scenario.

I entered on the south edge as it was the shortest
path to two victory buildings.

Rob left the southernmost building undefended.
Later, I got bogged down on the middle of
board 67. Then Rob got a bit aggressive with
a Panther that eventually went down to a
Cromwell IV.

I was foolish with another Cromwell and the
Daimler SC, and that made the game a bit closer
than it could have been.

Rob made a major mistake by abandoning
24oP1, and therefore allowed me to end the game
with two buildings and one wrecked Panther.

Even though Rob took out three of my AFV, It
was not enough to deny me a victory.

One of the highlights of the night was a German
CX leader taking out an motion AFV with a 2 in
CC followed by a 2 on the subsequent DR.

Lots of replay possibilities here. I'd suggest it.
The only downside is that it's such a small
scenario that it's susceptible to the whims of
dice.
