2024-02-02 | (A) Rob MacGinley | vs | MIke Johnstone | Russian win (VASL Log) | Hot Tigers is HOT to play – Dispatches from The Bunker No 181 a MUST PLAY As part of CYBER ASL tourney – I Played Mike Johnston a really excellent chap and great player It looked like the Tigers were going to be fabulous but with SIX! Hidden Guns – It was always going to be tough and that you have to clear out every good order unit makes it such a close game – literally down to the last CC!! – a future legend I predict from those excellent chaps at Dispatches thanks to them – great tourney game that’s for sure….. If you review the super log – initially there is lots of rules discussion on HIP guns so persist with the log – and then some nice lucky rolls from Mike kills a few men early! Basically as you will see a game of three parts – The hill, The Wheatfield and then the town. My Initial Thoughts were that the Tigers and Stugs have to get to that first hill quick and then either supress the Ruskies in the level one overwatch positions or be used for armoured assault to deliver infantry across that wheat field – Infantry in that town is very much needed. The Ruskies are likely to HIP Guns in that hill so they have to be dealt with and then the town will be a maze of HIP guns SO the plan did start well – the hill was dealt with and there was very few casualties and the HIP Gun was revealed and dispatched! Part B though cross the Wheat was a lot harder – the delay of the infantry and the overwatch position shooting was tough and my numbers started to dwindle But the big battle was that town and in reality, the outlying guns did little. The gun in the town were tough on both the tigers and stugs and in the end I was unable to clear the rats out! Some of the rules like Red Numbers for MP with tigers had very little influence – never roll it The stugs and the SNs on the tigers were good for smoke! And were the best cover I had Once a tiger hit a building it was in trouble that’s for sure The 76 arty – the APCR shot adjacent os a 50% chance so you have to be careful Lost of intense rolls – in the end I choose to blow he out but the other option of the CC may have been better but that’s the game…. I really enjoyed playing Mike – he is an excellent player – humble about some of those killer shots! | |
2023-11-04 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Dan Best | German win | Exceedingly tough game for me and my Russians. Dan's Germans simply knocked the snot out of me. 9 Tanks vs. 6 AT Guns, 5 of which can't kill a Tiger makes for a dismal ASL experience. The placement of the Orchard Overlay in the middle of the grain field, which blocks the 1st level of the stone building out front seems petty and pernicious. I went with a rear defense and tried to maintain my concealment. Didn't work, Dan's dice were simply too hot and he carved me up in Advancing Fire against concealed Russians. My AT Guns did nothing and three would MALF. At the end of Turn 2, I gave up, I only had 4 squads unbroken and both machine guns were out of action. My 76L' s had both been destroyed. My 57LL AT was MALF'd with a Tiger next to it and my 45L's were pea shooters. My dice were cold and this really killed any chance I might have had. I took a rear shot at a stopped Tiger...9 to hit...rolled an 11. Between my bad rolls and the scenario itself...I checked out. Not fun. | |
