| 2023-12-30 | (A) Jobbo Fett | vs | JobboFett | Spanish Republicans win | Things went very well for the attacker, scoring critical hits with their guns, and generally being successful with mortars and long range weaponry. However, every time they got close to any of the defenders, forcefully crossing open ground, led to many fast, ugly losses. By the end of turn 3 the defenders had some some 5 different shots that turned into KIAs, severely depleting the ability to push on until the end. Alpine hills make this scenario less enjoyable, I find. Still, fun and worth playing at least once. Dont forget the SCW PDF that accompanies scenarios in this mag/pack |
