2025-01-08(D) Eric Partizan Eric vs Pierre Proust American win
2024-11-25(D) Chris Gregg vs Nate Gregg American winFun scenario. The Americans scored some early casualties by putting their 60mm mortar on top of the hill. The German tanks and mortar caused havoc during mid game. The Americans lost one Sherman, but then bagged a MkIV with a bazooka. The Germans then broke almost all of the remaining American squads and the Panther was running around in the backfield DM'ing the broken squads. Then an American half squad with a bazooka self-rallied at range 3 from the Panther which was left in motion. Bazooka hits the Panther and results in a kill, the squad does not survive which makes 19 CVP. Earlier in the game a Sherman hit the Panther twice with deliberate immobilization shots which required TH of 5 or less only to get turret hits and then miss with the 3rd shot. Lots of wild swings, all in only 4 turns!.
