2024-09-20(A) Tuomo Lukkari vs Sergio Puente British win[Imported from ROAR]
2024-03-31(A) Pascal Boileau vs Prod'homme Pierre German winA 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 winSometimes 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 winTotally 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 winVery 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.
