2022-06-24(D) Paul Legg vs Stuart Brant German (SS) winDouible One 2022 - Mini Round 1
We rolled for sides and I got the Germans. This ended up being the theme, no matter who rolled or the selected criteria I ended up with the Axis side in all 6 games. I also got to move first in this one. This scenario is unusual in that both sides get dummies. I bought mine on in 3 lots of 2 whilst my opponent came on as one large stack and then grew 5 separate piles. With judicious use of leaders and double time I gained the large woods and significant strategic locations, some of which I held with dummies. The patrols finally met on the third turn. I nearly broke through on the final turns but settled for using my superior morale to take prisoners and won on the cvp conditions.
2020-09-11(D) Jeff B vs Shaun Andrews German (SS) winAmericans actually went first and came onboard quite casually, while the Germans raced to gain position. I used to think going first in this one was a big advantage; now I'm not so sure. The Americans have a slight edge on range, but the Germans' two LMGs, leadership, and 8ML more than makes up for this. The Americans that tested the middle of the board were soon stymied, while the Germans gained control of the eastern woods road. The Americans made an extremely bold move advancing a stack of concealed units next to a stack of Germans going into Germans Turn 3. At first this was disconcerting, but upon realizing my Germans had backup positioned in the west ready to reinforce should things go wrong, I decided to open fire and hope for the best. "The best" happened as I broke the stack to a man. I was then able to round up 14VP of prisoners and effectively clear the eastern edge of Americans. Since it would simply be a matter of my running these units off the board over the next couple Turns the Americans conceded. I still like the concept of this scenario, I just think it favors the Germans.
2020-04-22(A) Andrea Noia vs Andrea Mozzati American winStrange scenario where both players have to exit off map, Almost two different games in one map. German tried to outflank on the west of the sopraelevated road but was stopped by 3 squads rushed to stop them.
American used the big forest on the north for cover then was able to go out from the south since the German had a small defence in place. SS are deadly, but american has a bigger number of units and a longer range that is essential in open terrain.
2019-05-11(A) Simon Staniforth vs German (SS) win
2019-03-30(D) David Garvin vs Brian Scully American winOn the final turn, he rolled 1,1 in CC to gain 7 (SEVEN!) CVPs to win the game. Great match that could have easily gone either way.
