2022-03-25(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval German winTough scenario for the French to win..... A bit of a dog in my opinion.
2022-02-23(D) JP Laurio vs Ron German winFrench were having a difficult time but rolled several Berserkers which made the end interesting.
2020-03-18(A) Shane Pask vs French winOn setup I did not realise how hard it was to cross the creek. I ended up crossing on the extreme East edge and over the central bridge right under the pillbox - twilight helped. In the end, French won on turn 5 after a couple of critical hits on the pillbox with the small INF and the sniper breaking the last German foxhole occupant on the east flank to let the French flood in.
2020-03-07(A) Paul Legg vs Stuart Brant French win
2019-07-20(A) Richard Jenulis vs Greg Barsness French winThe French captured a couple conscript German half-squads north of the stream putting the Germans on the offensive. The Germans capitulated end of turn 3.
