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.
2018-09-13(D) Louis Langdeau vs Andrew S German winGermans win by CVP cap on German Turn 5.

Andy had a bit of a tricky time starting off, and I managed to slap back his initial wave and break a good amount of his starting troops. After the shock of that wore off, he quickly redeployed a lot of his troops to my right flank, and brought up his INF gun to start shelling foxholes and my bunker. The INF gun did great work breaking up one of my MMG hexes and wounding a leader, and his flanking move ended up breaking my defenses on the right and getting onto the hill. Things were looking good, when my MMGs went on a ridiculous rate tear, along with my SAN 5 sniper going rambo on quite a few of his units. After a few big shots and sniper activations, I had 5 more CVP than Andy did, and the game ended. Definitely a fun scenario for a quick bash though, and one I'm sure we'll play again.
2013-05-26(D) Scott Fischbein vs Bryant Henley French winGreat game against Bryant, as usual. Was looking pretty good for the Germans, but after the French scored two leaders from sniper kills, and then finished off a conscript squad in CC on the last roll of the game - it was all over. Great scenario with lots of interesting tactical decisions and funky LOS.
