| 2025-03-14 | (A) Rob Schmitt | vs | Kermit Mullins | German win | . I was British attacker. Difficult conditions to meet. Needed to run across a grain field to take a couple building hexes from minimal German forces (but with 1 MMG, 1HMG) in 3 turns before his reinforcements arrive. Then return to a Victory control hex to defend it. My die were terrible, his were hot. My mortar got 1 smoke off and then broke on 2nd shot. His unsmoked MMG hit my infantry crossing the grain field and lit them up. My 1st morale check on the 9-2 leader was boxcars, and the entire kill stack broke in the middle of the grain field. Didn’t get much better. Never got close to the Building I needed to take. Conceded Turn 3. | ||
| 2024-11-14 | (D) David Ramsey | vs | David Blackwood | Canadian win | Lost everything before the reinforcements had a chance to come on board! | ||
| 2024-11-14 | (D) Ian Morris | vs | Matt Ellis | German win | I set up on the ground floor of the farmhouse, to avoid giving Matt free shots with his 9-2 and to gain concealment. I put the two MMGs manned by two half-squads directed by the leader behind the central wall. Matt got a single Smoke round out of his mortar to block the MMG LOS across the grain, and sent everyone else down his left. I couldn't stop him occupying two hexes of the farmhouse by turn 3, but he wasn't in a position to interdict my reinforcements, which CX'ed along the roads while the MMGs manoeuvred around the orchard overlay to put fire on the grain which he must re-cross. The Pz IV with riding squad and LMG moved up behind the central wall where the squad successfully bailed out. On turn 4, my Pz IV moved across the grain and stopped beyond the Canadian position, DMing Matt's brokies on the way. With very little left to achieve the VC, Matt conceded when a 6-4-8 pinned trying to run the gauntlet of three MGs and the tank. An enjoyable game, and plays very quickly - a little gem. | ||
| 2024-09-30 | (A) Simon Staniforth | vs | Andy Bagley | Canadian win | With most of the Germans set up in the V1 farmhouse, I was fortunate to get 2 smoke rounds down in T1 enabling the Canadians to rush past and ultimately pick up other buildings. Whilst ultimately those troops were lost, they sufficiently delayed the reinforcements to ensure the win. Looks tough without the Smoke |
