2025-05-13	(A) Justin DiSabatino	vs		German win	The Dutch set up in the treeline in order to decimate the Germans as they entered the board. The plan was solid but the Germans passed every single MC to pressure the Dutch. AdFire broke some of the Dutch, and they ended up on the back foot by Turn 2, particularly when the German AFV circled around into the village and caused from failure to rout. The Germans controlled the remainder of the scenario,; the Dutch reinforcements almost grabbed a building on their last turn, but a snake eyes wiped them out. Fun, quick scenario.
2021-09-20	(A) César Moreno	vs	Juno29	German win	Gano en el último turno, por los pelos, gracias a que elimino al alemán en dos melees. Una partida muy igualada e interesante, donde los dos estabamos seguros de que no teníamos ninguna posibilidad de ganar :)
2021-01-02	(D) Tony Fermendzin	vs	Jon Plott	Dutch win	See Jon's excellent AAR. The Dutch set up forward in the woods line with the plan to make the Germans pay as much as possible to get across the open ground and then to fall back into the village. The Germans nearly broke the Dutch defense on the second turn, however, the Dutch rolled well on their Defensive Fire shots throughout the game and were able to bloody the Germans enough that by the time they got into the village they did not have enough resources/time left to take all the take all of the buildings. A lucky MG shot that took out the German AFV on the first turn helped! Jon played the Germans well, the Dutch just rolled better when it counted, proving once again that it is better to be lucky than good!
2021-01-02	(A) Jonathan Plott	vs	Tony Fermendzin	Dutch win	As the attacker with the sole AFV on the board, I attempted a coup-de-main by entering the village from the east while my infantry attacked from the west, and assaulting his defensive line from the rear, cutting off his rout paths and interdicting his reinforcements. Great plan that did not survive first contact with the enemy, as Dutch MG fire destroyed my Pz IIA on the first turn...didn't get a single shot off with it...even using the smoke dispenser (sD6) failed. What came after that was an infantry slog with the Germans crossing a lot of open ground and leaving too many broken units in bad locations. The final attack did not have enough firepower to force the defenders from the village, Well played, Tony!
2020-10-25	(A) Macari Samuel	vs	C. Hofland	German win
