Overview:

The evening of June 24, Infantry-Regiment 505 was established within 12 km of Liepaja in Latvia. The following day, jointly with Kriegsmarine commandos led by Lieutenant-Commander Schenke, the 505th attempted to take the maritime fortress by surprise but the attack had failed. On the 27th, the men of the 505th got a foothold in the southern part of the fortress. The following day, a bloody street battle was engaged against the particularly combative Russian defenders.

2022-05-22(A) Tony Fermendzin vs Ben German winThe Germans sure do have lots of toys in this one. However they seem to need all of them to take the building in the end.

The Germans forced their way through the town to the fortified building as the Russians did their best to delay them. The Germans were able to kill/capture most of the Russian forces that defended the town preventing them from getting back into the fortified building.

Once the Germans were able to get into the fortified building the fight was epic, with the Germans slowly forcing Russians back into a corner of the building on the last turn. With some lucky breaks they were able to pin the Russians down, breach their final location with a DC, and finish them off in CC on the last turn.
2022-04-18(D) Jonathan Plott vs Steve Boro German winAn improper set-up by the Russian player (me) discovered after the match began led to this becoming a training opportunity where Steve patiently walked me through a number of the differences between SK and ASL IRT to urban fights in large multi-level fortified buildings. My third opportunity to "sit down across the (VASL) table" with a live opponent to play full-rules ASL, and it has been a blast....multiple DC attacks on your positions will do that for you. Many thanks for the patient tutelage, Steve!
2022-03-23(A) David Garvin vs Dan Janezick Russian winWow, what a match. In the end, he had one squad in one fortified location that in spite of an IFT 24 DRM 0 FT attack, and many other attacks, would not even pin! Great match!
2022-03-19(D) Dave Mareske vs Matt Zajac German winMarch Madness 2022, round 3. Came down to the last CC. Very Fun!
2021-11-05(D) Jacob Elmqvist vs Ingemar Gardell Russian win
