| 2024-10-12 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | New Zealand win | A somewhat gamey scenario with a lot of over design that restricts the players to a somewhat specific scripting. The Village fight plays second fiddle to the Set DC attempt. Dark and mud and too many overlays...just gum up the works. In our game, the British got armor to the T6 location and managed to break the German 3-3-8 as it attempted to place the DC in T6. The Carrier then moved into the T6 hex for the win. | ||
| 2024-10-12 | (D) Dan Best | vs | Kermit Mullins | New Zealand win | 2.5 hrs | This scenario is over designed. Too many overlays. Dismantled support weapons and the dumbest set up instructions. All this combines to make this scenario a series of stupid movement and bad shooting. Do not play this scenario there is nothing fun and everything annoying about scenario design in it. | |
| 2021-01-21 | (D) Rob MacGinley | vs | Jean-Yves Tessier | New Zealand win | Very close game where the DC component was very important |
