2021-12-10(D) Martí Cabré vs Toni Carbonié German (SS) winMy defense was smashed by rocket OBA, scoring a CH on my big pillbox with my 10-2, MMG and 458 inside. All KIA. After that the Germans shot a lot of well placed smoke that allowed them to reach both the hill and the village almost untouched. My Churchills managed to kill some lesser tanks and I wrecked a Tiger with the 122 but on turn 2 the SS infantry was already unloading from the halftracks inside the village so I conceded.
2021-05-17(D) Will Willow vs Jeff Waldon Russian winRain started first turn and stayed all game. Rocket OBA ineffective. OBA tank taken out before dropping anything. Russians got the balance and it still went to the last turn.

2017-11-30(D) David Garvin vs Jonathan Kay German (SS) win
2017-06-28(A) Tom Kearney vs Al Saltzman German (SS) winI massed the majority of my armor against the hill with pioneers in halftracks. The infantry and some armor moved for the village. The pioneers breached the AT ditch in front of the hill and the armor overran the hill. I then hit the village from the south and west. After a sharp fight the Soviets were forced from the village and the Germans prevailed.
