2018-02-18	(A) Michael Augustine	vs	Jeff Fortin	German (SS) win
2018-02-03	(A) Gordon Jupp	vs	Derek Cox	German (SS) win	Cracking scenario, with lots of options for both sides in terms of strategy...Derek chose to upfront the 76L guns, one of which Malfd almost immediately and the second was taken out by the German Infantry by T2. This allowed the panthers a bit more freedom and risking bog, one went across country on the right to interdict the flank entry road and another moved up into the outskirts of the village. Both got quick kills against the oncoming T34/85's and the tide had turned. The killer was the CH by the 37L HT against another T34/85 and the Russians were now up against it and although there was some further trading of CVP on T5 the Russians lost 2 leaders and a squad for failure to rout and it was all over....
2018-01-28	(A) jon smith	vs	russian	German (SS) win	first turn saw 2 panthers break main guns, and both were recalled in next turn when they railed to repair. We nearly restarted, but germans decided to keep going. With the german inf pushing directly to the hill in the middle, the half tracks stayed at the back out of sight and danger, Russian tank riders split evenly either side of the hill and germans refused left flank with a cricket, held hill in centre with the 10-2 leader and 3 MMc, and everything else pushed down road on right, the crickets removed the Russian artillery and the lone panther seemed impervious to all attempts to kill it, Russian tanks fell to fausts and the panther was free to hunt, finally the half tracks raced from the back and prevented Russians from routing giving germans the win.
2017-12-03	(D) Jeff B	vs	John Fedoriw	German (SS) win	The Russians chose to make a defiant stand on the hilltop, parking and concealing tanks in the orchards while the infantry stood by waiting to blast the Germans at point blank. The Germans took a safe and methodical approach to dislodging them, grabbing buildings on the way. The big swing in balance was on Turn 4 after the Crickets entered. The Germans made an admitted error by leaving them relatively exposed and in motion to a T34 that decided to go a-hunting, but a CH by one of them turned him into a flaming wreck. This emboldened one of the Tigers to challenge the hilltop AFVs and two more T34s were turned into scrap metal. The Russians still had not revealed two of their guns (the first Malfing and breaking down very early in the game), hoping that at least one Tiger would come into their scopes. But Turn 5 saw some extremely hot German dice, knocking out another tank and breaking a boatload of infantry. With the score 29:48 the Russians conceded.
2017-11-29	(D) Paolo Cariolato	vs	Federico Corso	Russian win	This is a great scenario! tough victory conditions for both, both players need to know well their respective armies and their enemy. Want to play it again.
2017-11-14	(A) Richard Jenulis	vs	Bret Morris & Al Davis	German (SS) win	PSASL monthly game day.
2017-10-21	(D) Kermit Mullins	vs	Dan Best	German (SS) win	Tough fought scenario. Dan's SS infantry initially ran into a gauntlet of 76L ARTY fire, but quickly recovered and demolished my left flank. Meanwhile the Panthers took control of the road net. My T-34/85's came on and got some soft AFV kills, but couldn't stand up to the Panthers. Meanwhile the SS Sniper wiped out my 9-1 and HMG stack. Dan's 10-2 became a Heroic 10-3 and went on to kick my behind royally. Great scenario and great fun!
2017-10-03	(A) Andy Beaton	vs	Rob Loper	Russian win	ASLOK 2017
