2021-03-10(D) Pascal Boileau vs Todd Hively Belgian winA small and fun scenario. At the end, the Belgians were not fierce, they have only a squad and a HS in good order. However, the majority of German troops were too far for exiting the map whereas the HS equipped with the MMG was on his way to successfully performed the victory move during the last turn. Many thanks to Todd, a very nice opponent. It was really a close game and if the issue was in favor of the Belgians, the reverse could have been possible
2020-06-27(A) David Stoffey vs Eric Duckworth German win
2020-01-16(D) walter mcwilliams vs Dave Renstra German winMy first scenario of WO2020 against a good friend and great player. This was a blast and Dave and I really enjoyed it, he had a plan and really stuck to it. My Belgians really defended well but in the end couldn't get the breaks. Highly recommended
2019-11-09(A) O Ramaille vs Belgian winThe Germans divided their forces in two. The main troops attacked Wisembach by the road and a second group along the railroad. The main group was slowed in Wisembach but the other group was ready to cross the Sure river behind the Belgian force. The Belgians retreated and freed their way back just in time. With 1 halfsquad successfully exited and none from the Germans, the Belgians won.
2019-11-05(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe German motorcycles decided to ride along the railroad North of Wisembach to turn what looks like the main Belgian defense. They hope then to cross the Sure river by fording and prevent the Belgian withdrawal in time. But the allied MMGs put some firelanes that wreak havoc among the German troops. One third of them were able to cross the river under heavy fire from the Belgians. Eventually, the last German squad was able to cut the retrat of the Belgian forces. Broken, but surviving the fire attacks, the German MMC blocked the access to the exit road. With 0 EVP for both sides, the German won the game.
