| 2024-03-31 | (A) Pascal Boileau | vs | Prod'homme Pierre | German win | A good scenario despite that I conceded 2 turns before the end. Most of my AFVs were wrecked and most of my infantry was broken after 4 turns. To be the attacker in this scenario required some tactical skills that I was totally deprived before our game. Lesson learned, thanks Pierre ! | ||
| 2023-04-08 | (A) Vic Lauterbach | vs | JM | German win | Sometimes losing is a blast! I spent too much time and effort taking the hill so my attack on the farm developed late. Jim's 8 ML squads in stone buildings proved tough to break. The FB managed only a pin. The OBA stopped my attack on M9 leaving O7 and O10 out of reach. Good scenario well played. Jim: The Pak41s shocked/killed one Churchill and immobilized two, but the attack kept grinding forward with bow-mounted 75s pounding my positions until the OBA saved the day. This one is tense for both sides. | ||
| 2022-02-17 | (A) Shane Pask | vs | German win | Totally botched my tactics. Did well on the hill but called it after turn 4 when my infantry still had to cross 2 cactus hedges and were all bunched up right where the artillery was about to land. Lost 2 tanks to shock and 1 to CH. Way too cautious (and slow) with my infantry. Can infantry ride tanks over cactus hedges? | |||
| 2020-04-06 | (D) Gordon Jupp | vs | Andy Bagley | German win | Very interesting game. Andy decided on an all Northerly attack - he took out one of the AT guns very quickly but then got a bit bogged down. By T6 the Brits only had one building location and the Germans still had 14VP worth on the hill so called it there. Very intersting scenario tho. |
