| 2025-05-20 | (A) David Ramsey | vs | Martin Barker | Allied (British/American) win (VASL Log) | 3.5 hrs | Very tight game that was decided on the last shots of the game, and perhaps could have been closer based on the German's last turn where they were a little too bold. Nice scenario, but always scary to have to capture multiple multi-level buildings. | |
| 2025-05-15 | (A) Paolo Cariolato | vs | Federico Corso | Allied (British/American) win | it went down to the last turn, but the result was scripted, I was able to bag 3 german squad for failure to rout and he had too few infantry to resist | ||
