Red Don	My intuitive sense of how good shots were going to be kept being thrown off by the LV hindrances. Italians deployed all along the river's edge across the frontage, I picked the left flank as offering slightly better terrain for the attacker. Initial MG prep-fire was ineffective, but other than a fluke KIA the Russians got most of the way across the river on turn 1. Turn 2 a large brown amoeba prep fired and broke half the Italians in front of them on the riverbank, while the MG supports broke the others. Italian left flank started to redeploy in the backfield. The Italian sniper was ultra active and got 3 "1" results against the Russian 9-2 kill stack, with the final one finally wounding him. Thankfully by turn 3 their firepower wasn't as needed and the Russians started scaling the banks of the river. As the Italians were redeploying, some of the excess Russian squads broke for the middle of the board, and by turn 5 the Soviets were threatening both the 18V2 and 18P1 hill masses. End of turn 6 saw an Italian concession as the Russians had 13 VP on the hills with only a few Italian squads left in good order and more Russians pouring on behind. The Italian FO missed their first radio contact DR and then got broken and then killed by a wound by subsequent Russian prep-fire.	pmartin
Last Hope at New Flower	Ethiopians sent the bulk of their force over the south bridge, with only a holding force to threaten the north flank. The Armored trucks raced to the north reinforcement edge for the Italians, where they secured that zone, but had one truck immobilized. The Italians waged a successful delaying action on the south flank until the Ethiopians staged a human wave through the heavy rain, that wiped out all but one stack. Having been flanked, the commander resigned.	Guru Bob
Schatzgraber	Grumbler round 3. Wounded polar bear took down a 2-4-7 and 8-0 for the win.	Danno
Warwickshire at Wormhouldt	Down to last DR. Got enough exit VP and had 9-1 w HMG sqd encircled but couldnt break him and rolled too high on 2:1 in CC. We played w German balance eliminating the second carrier which i think is necessary as the Brits just have to delay. Grumbler ‘25	nebel
Warwickshire at Wormhouldt	A tight game that went back and forth throughout. The Brits managed a controlled withdrawal the managed to force the Germans to rush off the board and try to hold onto one of the stone buildings. The Germans managed to get into the building and get to a 2-1 CC with a -1. Needed a 7 to win and rolled a 10. A great game to finish off The Grumbler Invitational Tournament.	dmareske
Tirailleurs and Antiques	Grumbler 2025 Round 3 match. First time playing Tom and we both enjoyed this scenario quite a bit. His excellent defense checked my flank attacks for the first two turns. But my 9-2 kill stack finally got some key breaks to open up the French MLR. On the left flank, my 8-1 got a successful hit on the CMG tank with an ATR. The hit knocked out the tank. Despite a strong defense, it began to domino on Turn 4 and at the end of the turn, the Germans had taken enough Wooden Building required for the immediate win.	grumblejones
Police Action	Tom and I completed our Blood and Jungle play through today. This was one of my least favorite playing of the entire series. Highlight, rubbling a building hex with the DC.	SGT Mac

Welcome Back		Eduardordz
Twilight at Baerendorf	The Americans spread across the board to cover all avenues of approach, with a strong showing in the middle that could pivot/cover either side of the map. The Germans focused on the open fields, not wanting to risk the village with hidden bazookas, but sent a token force to pressure the Americans there to delay them changing positions. The plan went well for the Germans as they managed to hold the Americans at bay in the middle while crushing the force in front of them. The American guns managed only a couple shots before one male’s and then both had their crews broken. One crew recovered to break their gun completely and the other was eliminated. The German AFVs moved with impunity to pressure the oncoming American AFVs, but then it all shifted. The Americans made numerous incredible long range infantry and AFV shots, wiping out a chunk of German infantry and two German AFVs. This tipped the points balance enough by turn 6 that the Germans could not win.	Turuk
Steel Garden	Polish defended back with armor and delayed back with infantry to hold out.	jgarlic79@gmail.com

Foreshadowing Silvertop	2025 Grumbler round 2.	Danno
Lesson Learned in Lessin	Upfront defense took 3 Russian tanks off the board in T1. 7-0 with ATR immobilized 2 JgdPz. and generally was impervious to all types of fire for 2.5 game turns. 9-2 led kill stack suppressed the German infantry - slowly the line broke and the Russians pushed into the 3 add'l buildings (plus the DI'd TD) to win Grumbler'25	nebel
Ozarks and Frundsbergers	Not as fun as it looked on paper. There is a lot of US firepower and I broke 3 squads of 7 in the first half turn. SS killed 4 HS moving up but did a lot of cowering and I was able to keep him from routing away to get the CVP back. Not much fun for defender in this one. Grumbler '25	nebel
The Muzsla Noose	The Hungarians were able to take out several of the Russian AFVs (3 with PFs) which reflected some aggressive tank movement on the side of the Russians. This is a fun scenario with lots of options and Russians coming from all angles. Played as part of Round One of the Grumbler Invitational Tournament.	dmareske
Yankee Pride	Movement up and down hills in snow (with all the buildings) slowed the American advance. The US tried to eliminate the Germans from board 41, but that became difficult with some (possible over-commitment) of German forces. They switched their focus to board 60, but ran out of time. Played as Round Two of the Grumbler Invitational Tournament	dmareske
Konrad Three	Round 1 of the 2025 Grumbler Invitational Tournament. Paul's Germans swept down on both flanks to attack both bridge locations in parallel. The Russians would take it on the chin early on the right flank, but held a bit better on the left flank. A Panther would hit a mine and be knocked out. The Germans would struggle to get into CC with the Russians holding the bridge on the left. On the right, some Russians got in some licks, but the HMG was smoked in and contributed very little to the defense. The Russian ISU-122 and JS-122's would be bark than bite, but managed to knock out a MKIV and a King Tiger, before being destroyed themselves. Another Mine would immobilize the second MKIV. And the HIP 76L ARTY would get a point-blank rear shot on the Panzer MKIII Flame Tank and knock it out. Game came down to the final CC. The Germans were dominating until final one...my 5-2-7 managed to get Ambush and infiltrate out and within 3 hexes of the bridge for the win. Certainly, disappointing for Paul's Germans after such a great effort. But the Russians managed to get the win against all odds.	grumblejones
Ozarks and Frundsbergers	As Nathan stated, it was a lot more fun looking than it turned out to be. Nathan's Americans hit my messy defense with a bunch of half-squads with armor following up. His Kill stack broke a 6-5-8 with an LMG right out of the gates and proved to be a very powerful force throughout the game. Shooting at half-squads was successful as I rolled back to back snakes...but this also caused me to cower...no Panzerfausts for me. Nathan's skillful combined arms attack had me yinning and yanging back and forth. I was just ever able to check the American assault. It was over quickly. Other folks also played it, but the Americans tended to have the edge.	grumblejones
The Wells of Borgut	Ethiopians set up a trench-line near the west board edge. The Italians attacked from both flanks, two trucks on each flank. One Fiat survived to the end, overrunning the last AA gun. At the end every break was a lost unit for the Ethiopians for failure to route and the Italians reached the CVP victory condition by turn 5. It was surprising how much cover the hillocks, brush and candelabra trees provided.	Guru Bob

All Down the Line	Friday Night Fight Jim set up fully forward, utilizing the dummies as a vehicle. I set up 6 squads, one of which was deployed, in the hedge enclosed field with the 9-2, 8-0, lmg and piat. The remaining 2 squads with lmgs and 9-1 went in 43X6 with them being reinforced down the S column. All my forces were to push aggressively, relying on their high morale and leaders to cycle them back quickly if needed. Steady progress was made but I made too many CC attacks which tied up my forces for long times, the worst being the initial cc on my turn 2 which failed to get ambush on a conscript squad in 42V1, only eliminating it in german turn 5 ccph. Enemy sniper activated twice one just DM'ing an already broken hs, the other however proved deadly. Initially it was a '2' sniper which found its way to a hex containing the 9-2, 8-0 and a hs, the 8-0 had rallied the 9-2 earlier which then rallied the hs. Random selection naturally selects both leaders, Jim selects the 9-2 which fails its wound check, rolls again to see if he can get a second sniper on the 8-0, it's a 1, the hs rolls boxcars on its' llmc for the 9-2, 5 exit points gone. My solitary sniper activation roll is a 1 and forces recall of the halftrack. Piat squad manoeuvres to takeout the whirlwind. Turn 5 luck runs out and two squads break within sight of the exit. SS hold on for the win. (VASL Log)	Paul Legg
Blood Amongst The Pines	In my opinion this is a difficult scenario for the Russian. Those Finnish Conscripts are a nut to hard to crack. The Night and the Deep Snow conditions don't help the soviets to make a quick progression, even with skies.	Lluison
The Vindicators		Danno
The Vindicators	Italians got the HMG onto the hill with the 9-2. My British couldn't hang with that dude. Additionally, the Sniper KIA'd my 9-1 and his two squads broke. By the end of Turn 3, the Italian 9-2 had swept the hill completely by killing 2 x 4-5-7's and the 2-2-8 with the mortar. My 9-1 was dead and the broken squads had not rallied. So only a single squad was holding the southeast corner. Meanwhile my west force was just getting into the village. So going into Turn 4, I gave the concession. I couldn't survive another 4 or 5 shot rate tear from a 9-2 with an HMG.	grumblejones
Saurians at Suggerath		Dispang12
Bridgehead Over The Venta	A decisive PF phase on turn 3 enabled the Germans to infiltrate enough places, win the ensuing Close Combats and take the victory.	dmareske
Commando Schenke	Germans popped smoke for days, and the Russians had some very bad early dice rolls. The Germans were able to make it to the 1X4 building with their forces intact and work their way through the building. Phil's strong fall back defense and a impressive Commissar took it all the way to Russian Turn 6. But German Final Fire broke the remaining, encircled Russians in the upper levels and the game ended. (VASL Log)	ubertripp
Soumussalmi Sandwich	Finns had atrocious luck. Multiple hits from the ATR didn't destroy a truck. The Finns kept breaking and were then tied up in Melee which kept them away from the final truck. The last gasp assault pinned and the game would end with only three trucks destroyed and a Russian win.	grumblejones
Soumussalmi Sandwich		Danno
Flanking Flamethrowers	Rather than risk being picked off piecemeal, the Russians set up towards the rear, with no units at all on board 32 - not a bad idea as the Germans have to cross open ground before the can reach the road they have to cross. In response I concentrated all my forces on the northern side and advanced rapidly to the edge of the orchard. From there it became more difficult as my PZIII malf'ed its MA and my PzIV exhausted Smoke on its first shot. But I pressed forward anyway and managed to avoid serious losses, partly because the Russian HMG and ART Gun were positioned near the South edge (fining North), and found they had too many hindrances to be really effective. An intense battle developed around the northern woods when the Russian reinforcements appeared, but luck then swung in my favour: the Russians lost one flamethrower in CC, and another "flamed out" when it could have done serious damage. The Russians conceded on Turn 5 when it was clear their remaining forces were insufficient to hold the Germans. This was a tense and very exciting game, and an excellent scenario that I would be happy to play again.	Andy_Bagley
First Day at Fuchin	Russians opted for a heavy NW approach, with only a token force in the middle. John was surprised by how stiff my resistance was here though, finding two PBs, my AA gun, and mines. This caused him to change course and take an even further northern approach on the other side of the road, to be joined by his Turn 2 reinforcements. I lost my HMG crew to the NOBA, but thankfully not the gun itself; it would be a hard-learned lesson to more carefully watch the movement and repositioning of my men. The next turn I lost my factory leader to a sniper, something I could ill-afford. The Russians lost a squad trying to cross the 49Y2-CC4 road. They were able to have 2.5 squads and a 9-1 get across, but one of the squads was broken and the 9-1 wounded. so mostly they bided their time and waited for their tanks to give them some cover. Turn 3 saw them blast my defense in that part of the board with more NOBA, to the tune of two dead squads, a broken crew, and a mortally wounded 9-1. His wounded 9-1 had bled out during RPh, and he lost another squad, but at this point I was wondering if he'd just be able to clean up the battlefield after wiping me completely off the map with his NOBA. My men on the eastern side of board 49 held firm, but again he just amassed a wall of tanks and this'd be the last turn I'd be able to hold him off. Turn 4 saw us trade HS, but both of my cupolas were quite easily dispatched by his T-34s, and thus another large part of my defense was gone. He grabbed his first two buildings, with many more to soon follow as my line of defense was getting paper thin. Turn 5 was costly for him, losing 2.5 squads to one HS for me, as he pushed me out of another building. My OBA continued to threaten him, but realistically I wasn't going to use it until the endgame with my low draw pile. Turn 6 saw equal carnage, with him losing 1.5 squads and a 7-0 to my 1.5 squads, but he could easily afford this type of trade. His NOBA moved on to its next batch of destruction, busting up my factory defense. Amazingly my HMG crew sitting naked on the roof was only striped, and he missed my radioman by a hair. Of more concern to him was his growing lack of time, as he had yet to cross the stream, an there were very few of his units even in position to do so. Turn 7 saw more Jap decimation, losing another precious leader (8-0) and 1.5 more squads. But my HMG crew survived yet another round of NOBA. This HMG had seen a lot this game, losing its original crew, breaking and repairing twice, and now the NOBA onslaught. It would prove invaluable in the endgame. No longer hindered by OBA, and maintaining ROF, it stopped cold the one Russian stack that had crossed the stream, and threatened to do the same to any other Russians silly enough to risk its wrath. With their assault on the northern board 22 building being stymied, and three other buildings virtually unassailable, they called it a day. We probably could've stretched this out to the very end, but I had aa lot of tricks yet up my sleeve that would've made a Russian all but impossible. So, like our previous playing of BFP69, the Russians came up just short in another exciting B&J Manchurian scenario. The Japs need to have guts of steel in this one though, because they WILL be steamrolled and have to remain steadfast when their PMC is continually tested.	buser333
Kebur Zabagna	Just as the Ethiopians had blown a hole in the Eritrean defense, every shot from the flanks broke a squad and exiting seemed unlikely.	Guru Bob
Swede Revenge	Very amusing and quick scenario. The OBA, used in harrasing mode, neglected a quick progression of the finnish reinforcements, and the final Russian HW collapsed the swedish defense.	Lluison
Priests at St. Cloud		jgarlic79@gmail.com
Confusion Reigns	I had a good time, but the Germans really have no chance on this one unless the American botch rolls.	cscottk
No. 8 Platoon Overrun	OBA from both sides were ineffective failures. German AFV's swarmed the center as infantry flanked both sides. British quit at end of Turn 4.	Kydder
Hoppers and Hardy	Interesting puzzle. Game dominated by the German 9-2 MMG which got 4 KIA's on squads during 2.5 turns. The Stuka did the same getting 2 KIA and pinning a reinforcement squad. Still it was fun and fairly close. Russian heavy damaged a glider which crashed and another glider clipped a rooftop.	nebel
Buckley's Block		Bongiovanni
Iron Coffins		A15.4er
All the Stops	We forgot to bring on one German tank which would have made a difference. Even so, the Russians made good progress with some poor DRs. The creeping OBA actually hung around for 4 turns making it difficult for the Germans to fully withdraw into the village.	dmareske
Gavin Take	Solo play. Very back to basics ASL - personally I found this to be much more fun than the original training scenario version. As the Americans, I tried to use my morale, smoke and leaders to force my way forward. As the Germans, I tried to delay the Americans as much as possible whilst withdrawing back to the Creamery and the bridge. Unfortunately for the Germans, they didn't quite hold out long enough, and the Americans managed to race squads across the bridge in turn 6, with the final three MG nests either broken or engaged in close combat.	Sampato
3rd RTR in the Rain	Brits won in final turn CCPh after alot of nail-biting action!	Kydder
Swamp Cats	Fantastic scenario. Came down to game-ending CC for Russian win. Russian attack must be very methodical; Germans need a carefully crafted defense. The two Russian FBs really limit Axis mobility from turn 4+. 468s were difficult to break so most losses occurred from CC – and we know how unpredictable that can be. Could have gone either way. Great scenario and an even better opponent! Highly recommended!	Houlie
Where The Reindeer Dare Not Go	The German defence had MGs in the pillboxes with one in the right rear and elevated and the other on the left edge middle at ground level. Both guns had LOS to the road. PSK was HIP near road. Russians attacked on a broad front; I think they should pick one half board. My German defence was gradually broken down. I conceded on turn 5 German. I liked the scenario. It was quite a change of pace from normal.	mtrodgers99
The Golden Mountain	Ethiopians almost resigned after a turn 1 human wave lost 2 KIA squads and several broken units. for one Italian half squad, But the artillery piece set-up beyond MMG normal range, plugged away each turn and reinforcements arrived and the Ethiopians slowly climbed the hill, surrounding the top by turn 5 or 6 for the win.	Guru Bob
Buckley's Block	Took the attacking Japanese for this one. Rain turned heavy on turn one which greatly aided the assault. Eric had one of those games where a morale level of 8 counted for nothing against 2+1 fire attacks and this, combined with repeated failure by the USMC to roll 8 or less in close combat, spelt doom for the defence. Fun scenario that offers good chances for both sides. Just roll low!	Dougban
Grenades, Knives, and Fists	We both made some errors in our play. Be sure to use SMK on four of the Russian tanks (I forgot) and know that the Finns ELR to green units which made it hard for them to get out of the stream on the last turn. The Russians were able to park an AFV just before the bridge holding a squad in CC until the end.	dmareske
Taking Back Vital Ground	SPOILERS This scenario sees a rag tag, but well supported, American force trying to retake a series of crest lines from the CPVA. The CPVA are a quite capable force of 437s and 337s with adequate leadership and SW. The US vary from Katusa, to 667 and are supported by a battery of 105s in the valley (direct fire only), a HMG and 81mm (limited in movement) and a pair of MMGs. Time is on the US side. 6.5 turns. The map features, as well as steep hills, many slopes. Both sides need to be careful lest the Chinese setup accidentally in view of the 105s or the American assaulters run afoul of a unseen los. The PDP areas do somewhat obscure the slopes. Having played on this map many times the first thing I planned as the US was to move the mortar and HMG as far up the hill as possible. The snow and the steep hills make these moves slow. The MMGs setup on the far right and moved into the edge of the light woods to be able to see over the saddle between the VC areas, negating the hill side scrub. I left a couple of Katusa HS amongst the 105s as sniper bait. I attacked along the right-hand side and immediately ran into the best supplied MMG in the Chinese army. However, my opponent had setup some of his units in view of the 105s and area fire started to stripe and pin in place some of his defenders. My MMGs, being able to see over the hindrances, caused a few MCs. The CPVA were reverse sloped, and my assault force found defilade as his defenders moved out of line of fire of my guns and SW. His sniper was placed well forward, so my chubby little Katusa HSs started a slow jog forward for the victory area on the left. My opponent moved the bulk of his force to the right of the map to counter my assault, needing to burn MP to move them down the back of the ridge to avoid my professionally placed MGs. At this time, my HMG got into position and assembled and threatened a FL across the saddle preventing oppo from reinforcing the left-hand side VC hexes with the forces he had just moved right, so my assault force ran to the left, linking up with the forever CXd Katusas. My FL slowed his forces trying to get back to the left and I got a strong assault force into place for the central VC hex and 2x126 and a concealed 346 (which my oppo thought was a Katusa) in place to assault the left VC hex. In the CPVA’s last turn my erstwhile got a stack into the centre VC hex and a concealed HS into the left hand hex. My assaulting force in the centre was reduced, by advancing fire and CC, to one concealed squad but the 105s stripped all of the important concealment on the CPVA. In my last turn I just needed to win 2 CC. I won one and not the other. CPVA win. My opponent used to be a real whiner over dice. He’s better now, but this is the first time I’ve heard him complain that his dice were too hot to touch. He mentioned that he diced me. Indeed, there were more KIAs and lucky assault fire shots and lucky CC rolls than expected, but I did manage a crit and did not malfunction any of my SW. So, despite him using my own precision dice against me, it was a close game. The winter camo for the Chinese is key, as is the ability to see the slopes. Understanding slopes, steep hills and the effects of snow on elevation change is also crucial. I’m in a continuing publicity campaign for the power of the IPM. In this scenario there was only one instance where the need for an independent movement TC really caused a problem for my opponent. Apart form that, IPM allowed him to move waves up and down steep hills in snow with ease. Another win for IPM. I like the scenario; indeed, I love the whole TFF pack. This once again shows off the abilities and limitations of the CPVA. Their range is poor and they often, on defence, need to remain motionless and get shot. To counter this, they have W7.95, which, apart from the ability of units to leap from a building into a water obstacle, is my favourite ASL rule. The ability to grow concealment when in LOS is game changing. In TFF Steep hills or hill side scrub provides the concealment terrain, winter camo gives a +1 hindrance and even a bit of scrub give the second. At night even the scrub is not necessary. Steep hills are also a very interesting ruleset. The main effect is the subtle change to units carrying equal to their IPC. This is not a problem in other areas of ASL unless CXing. Here it adds a difficulty to the movement of MMGs that is absent in other ASL. It’s clearly a first world problem as the CPVA don’t really have many 3PP SW. Good scenario, options for the attacker, covered routes for the CPVA as long as they know and can identify the slopes. 8/10 recommend.	Ibncalb
High Ambition	As the Americans I never really got started in this one (my High Ambition proved too high!). The Germans defended the bocage line South of the road, using skulking to maintain concealment and set up fire lanes with their MGs. I should probably have tried to use Smoke more, but numbers with the AFVs are low so it's far from guaranteed. As it was I only managed to get a foothold on the South side of the road by Turn 4, and hadn't even found the German INF Gun by then. Clearly too late for any chance of victory, so I concede at this point. Even if the Americans get lucky with Smoke this seems a very tough scenario for them - a long way to go in only 5.5 turns.

Ultimate Treachery		Bongiovanni
The Bitwoded Gamble	Predawn human wave out of the north wadi took 2 of the 3 buildings thanks to the LV. Took the 3rd building the next turn and waited for reinforcements to arrive, when the north hillock was surrounded and overwhelmed.	Guru Bob
Counterattack		Danno
Counterattack	German attack came up the middle through the Orchard. OBA stalled the attack and forced the Germans to either flank. German flamethrower rolled an 11 on the first shot and was gone. Bazooka shocked the 75L STUG, but it recovered and a later round immobilized it. The German 9-2 kept breaking and then was KIA'd by the Sniper. Germans were down to 2 x 8-3-8's, a 6+1 and 2 x 4-4-7's and the STUG 105 going into Turn 6. There was no path to victory, so the Germans gave the concession. ARTY was key to the American win.	grumblejones
Pavlov's House	Both German tanks were destroyed in turn 1, but it was a close thing in the end, coming down to CC on the last turn. If the Russians had remembered to withdraw, they would have won the VC. Unfortunately, they remained in melee, not in good order, and the Germans won the VC. The Russians had lost both leaders and would have been defeated in (theoretical) subsequent turns, however.	tpdorsey
Carrefour Dangereux	The Attacker needs to Control 11Q3 (Single Hex Wooden Building) and 11I6 (Single Hex Stone Building). As the defender, I completely ignored the Q3 Building - a Location I consider indefensible, and set up all4 of my 8-3-8s in and outside Building I6, knowing it would take him at least 3 turns to really threaten it. During that time, all the squads outside the Buildings - and all of my nearby Italian flunkies - tried to dig Foxholes and were, for the most part, successful. Once Houlie came in range, it was a real beehive. However, Houlie was very wise with his Smoke placement, allowing him to come right adjacent to the VC Building for 3 consecutive turns, but was, fortunately for me, blocked from entering by a combination of my good MC rolls and the fact that once his MMC would break, they essentially had nowhere to go. The Olive Groves, strangely, serve as Rout Terrain, but not Rally Terrain. In an all-out effort to take the Building he rushed it with armor and I was able to take out one of his AFV with my last remaining Semovente for the win, since by that time he had lost 30 CVP. It was a very tense game. But - because the British are so mobile and the Axis so stationary - there's not a lot of fire and maneuver. It's more like praying your opponent doesn't cause and MC on you and - if he does - that you pass the MC, because there's nowhere to rout. Hence, the game was tense, but really dicey, and I had the lion's share of good rolls. As always, Houlie was a great opponent, and playing against him really tested my knowledge of the rules, so - whether either of us wins or loses - our knowledge of the system always improves. That's one thing I really appreciate about Houlie and already look forward to our next game!	Chuck

Killean's Red		jgarlic79@gmail.com
The Valley of Glory	Russian plan to HW towards the Buildings never happened , the Germans were able to continually break up the HW set up. KIA;s and rates decimated the Russians during the first Russian turns. The Germans were able to kill out right 4 squads buy turn 2 and the Commissars ended up Killing 2 squads of his own troops Rules allow for the Russians to pick 2 commissars (Did not help). The game came down to 2 close combats in two buildings. The Germans were able to ambush are with draw to an open building to stop the Russians from winning.	slunts
Diversionary Attack		Danno
Diversionary Attack	Tough scenario for the Germans. The American firepower wrestled the Germans out of the stone buildings and the Shermans pushed the survivors to the edge of the draw. The 40LL AT Gun was positioned in X13 and managed to Shock a Sherman, which was knocked out on Turn 6 after going to Unconfirmed kill. The Americans would end with 30+ VP in the victory locations at game end.	grumblejones
Blick's Balk		asloser
Never On Time	Germans got off to a good start with plenty of dispensed smoke and reached the edge of the hill unscathed. They were slowed down too much by stubborn dummies and in the end weren’t aggressive enough when the hill was crested. British lost the firefly but a piat took out a PzIV and the stone buildings weren’t troubled so a few wooden buildings won it for the British.	Dave

First Crisis at Army Group North		fefa
Breakthrough	Nice small scenario.	prevot
Bridging the Wu	Dice were good to the Red Army. Double MMG on the hill swept the front of the cliffs clear enough for the bridge to be built in 3 turns. The Chinese 6+1 leader died to fate and the sniper got the 8-0 leader. With no leaders it was just a matter of chipping away at the defenders, and the DR were very good for that.	Guru Bob
Luchs on the Lookout	Friday Night Fight Seems hard on the Germans as they done have strong AT capability despite the 5 Lynx and an atr. I had one BA -6 behind a wall with Dave only hitting the turret a few times out of many shots with the shell glancing of when it did hit. Eventually 4 tanks fell, one with the 8-1 armour leader thereby breaching the cvp cap.	Paul Legg
Trying the Right Flank		Danno
Trying the Right Flank	Yep, my second time losing this one as the Americans. I managed to take the M14 building and was in Melee in M15 at game end, but this another very hard ask for the Americans.	grumblejones
Hot Tigers		asloser
Lions and Tin Men	Lost by 1 point after 6 squads all failed their MC or PTCs on the last push off the board. I got the tank as one of the groups which I was happy with but looking back it really is all about the squads.	Dave
Rally Point		chasncinti
Simple Equation		Eduardordz
Raiders of the Chaco	Bolivians swept around the left flank, sending the cavalry further around to the 3N1 building. Six squads pushed up towards the roadblock to keep the HMG and trench defenders locked in place. They eventually cleared the roadblock, and snuck the 7-0 leader and a hs to torch the house on the west hill. The cavalry forced the surrender of 3 squads in the 3N1 building and torched it., giving them the CVP for the win.	Guru Bob

Melting Pot	The Brits attacked the German left flank. Progress was fast the first two turns, but they momentarily forgot about pf's, giving up one AFV. On Turn 3 the Germans rolled exceptionally well, breaking 2 leaders and 5 MMCs. Brit Rally Phase failed to help. With the British left flank crushed and the right flank stalled, the Brits conceded by Turn 4.	Heloanjin

Refuse to Retire	My Americans did well...but this scenario is nigh impossible. I managed to get into the gully...but it's impossible to get through the brush covered hexes and exit. I only managed to exit 5 VP. Really...really disheartening. I played my heart out in this one and it was a waste of time as the Americans have no chance in this one. I'm sure the revised PHD will rectify this, but it's easier to just get beat upfront instead of being teased at the end and still not get there. Frustrating.	grumblejones
Sheep in Wolf's Clothing	Very demanding scenario for the German player, because of the amount of pain that he must stand in front of the Paras... Finished at the last AFP of the last turn of the british, when the germans were already celebrating victory, with an exceptional performance by the 8-1 of the 7th king's own scottish borderers, that errupted into a last charge withstanding a 6-2 on the IFT in his MPh and also upgrading himself into a Hero (and 9-1), to lead a HS of paras against the last germans defenders, breaking then with a [1,2] shoot.... I love this game!	Lluison
Return to the Rock	Japanese have the easier go in this one. The key is "where" does the US player make his paradrops??? In the middle of the parade grounds is the "easiest" in terms of making sure they all land on board, but it is also an invite to the slaughterhouse. Move them to one side or the other and you will definitely lose some off board to drift. It seemed to us that the latter is the risk to take if the American player is to have any chance at all. Will play this one again sometime when we get the paradrop mechanics down a little better. (VASL Log)	mdhs2k
Hill 621	Went down to the last turn - Russian captured 6 hill hexes but could not hold onto them for the German. A great back and forth game, with the highlight being a berserk Russian HS charging 12 hexes (taking 2 turns to get there) to take out the crew of the 75L ATG. This is one every ASL needs to play once to have the experience.	bleyaert62
Armored Samurai	Japanese sniper took out final HMG and the Japanese surrounded the final victory building. One tank was still in good order, but missed out on the final party due to slow speed.	Guru Bob

First, Do No Harm	The Japanese defence gave nothing much away. I focussed my attack on the Science building in the south. The 9-2 and HMGs sat away in assumption college to hit the western face of the Hospital if necessary – it wasn’t and they did very little the entire game, but did keep the Japanese away from the front of the hospital. In the North west I had two crews with MMGs and a light mortar to discourage movement of units to the threatened buildings. I was very lucky with my civilian intelligence roll, which stripped concealment from all of the defenders of the science building and unHipped a couple of half squads. I was allowed easy entry into the science building by my opponent not filling his fortified location with enough to stop entry. We rolled up a stop to the rain and heavy winds in, I think, turn two that made the blazes spread like crazy (after a few turns we just stopped rolling for them as they were moving away from the action, and, well, flame spread is the least attractive aspect of ASL. This did not stop me trying to roll for smoke a thousand times. A half track moved to the right to unload a MMG squad a leader and eventually to allow the crew to abandon with the 50cal. This stack took up position in the second floor of the Ermita apartments and did a good job of discouraging and punishing any Japanese along Taft Avenue. One HT recalled, one immobilised by dodgy American engineering – although the crew would abandon later to add a third 50 cal to the FLs that the Japanese would have to banzai through. Massed US fire groups and FT in the science building pushed the defenders back through the trenches he had leading to the Hospital. My opponent had misplaced the trenches as they did not connect to any buildings. (Why the rule here is “connect to cellars” not “connect to buildings/rubble” is a small irritation). The Japanese reinforcements came on in the centre of the North edge but moved very slowly v- they could have made a much faster advance as I had very little in the North, however there was a menacing 50 cal in the Ermita Apartments that meant and move had to be carefully examined to avoid. My opponent made a newbie error in leaving two towed guns in tow and vulnerable to my reinforcements. This was actually a well planned pro gamer move that cost me two AFV in an AT gun ambush. My reinforcements came on mainly in the top left save a small platoon that entered on the middle of the left edge and spent 4 turns running into action. Turn 6 saw my reinforcements jumping off into Rizal Hall and the south of the hospital, finding that the staircases were fortified (of course). I positioned 3 MGs, a mortar and two HT to interdict his reinforcements from crossing Padre Faure Street and a tank and the 50 cal covered Taft Avenue. After a turn of THH shenanigans and dashing most of the Japanese troops made it into the block to the east of the hospital. However in my turn I massed 3 50 cals, an MMG to FL all along Taft Avenue to block the reinforcements and had a tank ready to push a wreck out of existence to ensure sweet FFMO shots against the banzai. In the hospital it took the work of 7 squads to encircle, smoke, breach and advance into CC to kill the entire Japanese stack guarding the Southern stairwell. At this point my opponent conceded. Rizal Hall was mine bar mopping up, The Science Building was taken and The Hospital, now that I had access to the first floor would have fallen in the remaining time. We enjoyed the scenario. From the attackers POV there are many options, not just to attack but how to interdict the Japanese on and off board forces. The technical aspect of cracking Japanese in fortified stairwells is appealing, the size of the map and the surfeit of transport give a lot of options to the Americans and reinforcing Japanese. 8/10 would recommend.

Red Dragon Stalking Polar Bears	The US setup as dictated, but with an eye for the initial defence not where they should be on turn five. On each flank I attacked with grenadiers and dummies. Each flank had a sole 6+1. The onboard groups setup tucked away in corners so as to avoid an instant SS burst. The group attacking Love company moved very slowly, leading with the 317s in the hope of looting BH. They encroached just far enough forward to keep the US honest. The right hand group of grenadiers pushed up the VC hill but stayed hopefully out of LOS of the mortar observers. The main attacks were from the offboard groups that piled down the left hand road and picked a rout through the slopes in front of King company’s position. The left hand road group consisted of 12 squads, 6 LMG and moved 10 hexes down the ploughed road spurred on by a single 6+1, the King company attack was a similar group. By turn 4 I had 19 squads over or on the bridge approaching the supply column. The majority of Love company had fallen back to the base of their PDP. King Company had 8 stacks face with 24 concealed CPVA attacking stacks. I think that in the first 4 turns I did not fire a single SS and did not make a single fire attack. Now I’m doubtful if I even made a CC attack during that period. It was just movement forward, quickly when dark, slowly when illuminated. IPM is unbelievably powerful at night in good terrain. I intended to push back Love company just far enough away form the VC hex and to occupy the right most hill but not to push forward with the grenadiers. The real attacks were to be in King company and the bridges. The plan worked, again, really well and by the end of Allied Turn 7 we called the game. Love company had been pushed completely out of their PDP and had lost their mortar pit, they were prevented from retaking the hill by a company of grenadiers and blocked from reinforcing the bridge battle by another. King and Item had retreated from their PDPs and were in the unenviable position of moving back across OG with the few CPVA LMGs shotting them from the high ground. All of the supply trucks had been captured and the CPVA were massing and gaining concealment for an attack on the last gun positions. At this point I had taken 2 mortar pits (12CVP) 33 CVP of truck supplies and 27 CVP of regular casualties (mostly prisoners). As we were about to break for a week we decided to call it there rather than leave it as game to finish later. It was not however a true representation of the balance of the scenario. I have played it in PT and since published at least 4 times winning as both sides. I’m very familiar with the CPVA and the map so my attacks are well practiced. Conversely my opponent has never played on this map before and whilst very experienced at night has only played against the CPVA. He did a good job of saving his forces and falling back to the gun positions but failed to interdict the columns of CPVA running to the bridges. Spoilers The Americans have a fairly rigid setup and are constrained by the PDPs. This is how they fought historically. But historically they lost. To win, the US needs to plan where they will fight. Love Company is pretty screwed. They are facing close range CPVA in concealment terrain. The best they can do is to interdict the road, protect their mortar pit and possibly even setup to get off the Hill and into the main perimeter as quickly as possible. King company have the potential to cause significant casualties to the CPVA, they have good LOS to OG that the Chinese need to cross. Item company are in a tough spot facing CPVA with good cover. Some (most) of the best positions for SW are out with the PDPs and the US player should be planning to get his SW moving into better positions from T1. Whilst extreme winter is in effect, a 12 results in a B result, not an X, so don’t be frightened of FLs. The heavy weapon platoon are very important, especially the mortars with their IR. The Katusa across the perimeter should be moved out of the NTC zone as quickly as possible. If they fail the 1TC (most likely) they will disappear and award CVP. The supply column is vital, I gained 33VP just from those trucks. They start with no leaders and are in dire need of recombination and support. The CPVA have the luxury of time. They should be able to get to the supply column in force. Then they are faced with a swath of open ground where it’s hard for them to regain concealment. They don’t have the firepower or SW to supress the guns and the interdictory mortar fire is too inaccurate and too scarce. If the US can amass enough FP around the guns, it can make the CPVA bleed heavily. I love this scenario. It has time and manoeuvre, it paints a historical picture and it leans heavily on advanced rules. The US are in a desperate situation and only a better commander than that historically in place will succeed. The more experienced player should take the US as their task is greater, but in my experience the more experienced player is normally the one introducing the CPVA so the US task becomes harder. I hazard that when played this scenario will initially be pro CPVA until defending players get a better understanding of the Chinese abilities. A final word. A recent review opined that this pack was possibly not value for money. Since publication I have played this scenario twice over 4 days of game time. The module cost is 45 Euros. So that makes the cost of the time I’ve played on just this scenario €1.4 an hour. If I were to split the cost of the module with my opponent, then it would drop to 70c an hour. All the cool kids IPM.	Ibncalb
Taking Some Flak		Lluison
King and Love	The Americans started off with mortar WP rate shots and a CH against the German concealed StugIII. The Stug ended up as burning wreck and 3 German MMCs were broken, one in a stone building, leaving the defense on his back foot right out of the gate. Later on the German right, a fortunate hit against an American Sherman followed by breaking two MMC and a leader shattered the American flanking attack provided much needed relief. The German pzks both broke on their initial TH and any successful pf roll resulted in a miss. But the German core defense remained resolute. On the final American turn, one American AFV bogged in wire and another was stunned, leaving the Americans unable to capture more than 8 building hexes.	Heloanjin
Shoot or Shovel	A very tense game until the last CC. The entrenched US marines resisted the Japanese assault during 2 turns. But the right wing was collapsing, and the marines had to withdraw in the jungle. The Japanese despite losses forced their way into the jungle. The marines resisted till the end. In the last CC, the Japanese ambushed and killed the defenders of the remaining key objective hex.	lt_steiner
