2024-05-27	(A) Andy Bagley	vs	Neil Brunger		German win		Our second go at an Orsogna scenario, and one that to begin with I didn't enjoy. The Maoris have a tough time making progress in mud against a German force which, though small, has mines, trenches, wire, PFZs, a HMG and a 50mm AT Gun, all in potentially dominating positions. Rain starting immediately and poor MC rolls from the Maoris made my job even harder. However, things improved when the German AT Gun malf'ed and I started breaking a few of his units, so that by the start of my final turn I controlled two buildings and had a chance (albeit a remote one) of clearing the Germans from the other three. At this point though the dice failed me, and I conceded when it became clear I couldn't clear the first of these buildings. Like other Orsogna scenarios, this felt different from the usual ASL, undoubtedly reflecting the realities of this battle. I ended up liking it, though I suspect Orsogna scenarios in general will get a "Marmite" reaction from people.
