2023-04-07(A) Martí Cabré vs Pere Cabré German winThis one seems tough for the Germans so I pushed hard every turn massing great firepower against the Russians. Luckily for me they failed quite a lot of morale checks and I closed for the close combats, carrying most of them. There was a building that lost 4 broken Russian squads for FTR. Four German squads lost in CC. There was an epic melee of two turns between a wounded Russian leader and a wounded German leader and another German leader. Only in ASL! At the end the Russians had only one squad left on the map, for a German victory. But I feel that a cautious German player would lose it.

2020-08-25(D) M T vs N.N. Russian winIn our rematch of NEV2 the Germans managed to get a foothold in the southern buildings, but determined Russian shooting & skulking tactics carried the day. After failing to keep schedule the German player gave up the game on turn 4.

It's a nice scenario that uses SK1 components well. The No Man's Land area is an interesting touch.
2020-08-21(D) M T vs N.N. Russian winThe Germans set up for a big PrepFire phase in the North and an assault with the Reinforcements in the south. The PF phase failed and backfired, while the assault was hampered by a few surprising LOSs coupled with low Russian rolls. The end result was so many German casualties that my opponent called it a game.

Seems like a good scenario, need to rematch though.
