Overview:

During the destruction of Army Group Center, the German front became pierced at many points. As the battlefield situation became more fluid, reliable information was of crucial importance to both sides. In the midst of the fighting an unusual clash occured on the outskirts of Lepel— unusual in that both recon forces were commanded by seasoned, aggressive leaders. Although the primary responsibility of both groups was to avoid contact and obtain battlefield intelligence, the aggressive nature of both commanders prevailed. A vicious firefight ensued. . .

2021-06-12(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon German winWow, what a game? Loic is learning ASL and we are going through Beyond Valor. Before going into ASL 6 Red Packets, we did this gem.
Loic is a very fast learner. This game also showed that you can do the right thing and still lose. I swarmed a Puma with my forces. Loic didn't take the bait of the hull-down T 70. He did fire at the fleeting T 70 with at
least a net +6 TH DRM and got him nevertheless with a critical hit; but that just gave me a Russian Smoke Screen. LOL
I continued to swarm until I had 3 T 70s facing him from front and both sides. Loic had wisely popped an sD to protect his Puma and then I simply shot to acquire. I expected to lose one T 70 and sure enough, Loic tried for APCR (failed) so went with AP and hit with rate. That was to be expected. He then turned the turret 2 hex spines and fired against the hull down T 70 (miss, rate. Rate was going to kill me!), then hit, rate and set me on fire. Finally shot the last one, hit (no rate), but again, set me on fire.
That Puma got 4 (four) of my T 70s and that was game on turn 2. Still lots of fun!
2021-03-13(A) James Forrest vs In progress
2021-01-03(A) Jacob Elmqvist vs David Elmqvist Russian win
2020-08-30(A) Stephane Renaudin vs Melvin Falk German win
2020-05-10(D) Kai Glanz vs Erik A. Russian winIt was short but nice. Erik managed to kill one of my ACs which was sitting helpless with a broken MA on a road. Shortly after that he grilled one other AC with a critical hit and the scenario was over after T3.
