| 2024-07-20 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | Very tough on the Russians. Russians were scattered and 3 of the 4 support weapons landed in bad terrain and were broken. Germans rolled 3's and 2's left and right, which KIA'd many of the Russians that landed in the village area. The Russian bombers only immobilized the Kuebelwagen and nothing else. By Turn 4 it was over as the Germans were in their tanks and the Russians were down to 3 three unbroken half-squads. |
