2024-03-04(A) Shane Pask vs German winI had heard that the PK scenarios were poorly balanced but was spending a week in a hotel room so packed them to play solo on the trip.
German startup engaged as many of the Romanians in melee as possible including 1 gun. They won 3 CC including capturing an AA gun. Another AA gun malfed and eventually disabled. By game end, 8 gliders (including one friendly) were destroyed and 1 damaged by small arms. Even a HS managed a kill with small arms. Romanians only managed 3 CVP.

2024-02-25(A) Peyton Spreacker vs Brandon Dega Romanian winThe Germans came in hot (literally), destroying three gliders in turn 1. The Romanian units struggled initially with the German fire power. It looked pretty grim for the Romanians. However, the Germans activated a Romanian big sniper which honed in on a stack of German units: a 9-2 leader, a full squad, and two half squads. On the random selection die roll, four "6" results were rolled. (This is about the same probability of getting struck by lightening). The leader died, the men initially broke, and the subsequent LLMC resulting in catastrophe for the Germans. The full squad reduced and with some good foresight, the remaining half squads were forced to surrender to the Romanians. From here, the game was pretty much over, with another battle in the factory resulting in more captured Germans. There was no path to victory for the Germans from there and ultimately, the cracked Romanian sniper saved the day.
