2019-09-11(A) Javier Rodrigo Ballesteros vs Carlos Fernández German win
2018-05-31(D) Tripp Killin vs Sebastian Killin German winMy son had the balance as the Americans, but it didn't help. The 8-1 and HMG in the last building made approaches to the other two very difficult. Americans have to time this perfectly.
2018-05-31(A) Tripp Killin vs Sebastian Killin German winWe switched sides and I played the Americans, and things went about the same. I was a bit more cautious than my son, but I just couldn't break a German MMC, despite the firepower advantage. The German HMG and 8-1 went on a spree, and mowed down squads spread out in the grain. I conceded on Turn 4.
2018-03-24(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe American chose to enter through the orchards in the North expecting higher resistance in the south. They easily captured the first building which was not defended. But the approach to the second building was heavily defended. Eventually, the GI's captured it and rushed to the last building but ended pinned just in front of it. A German victory.

2014-08-07(D) Russell Dewhurst vs Steve American win
2014-01-01(A) John Adair vs Matt American winThe Americans set up the bulk of the force on the south side, going through the grain toward building J7, keeping only a single squad/MG in A4 to engage potential units on the north side. Three German units had set up aggressively in the grain along row E, with one leader and one MG among them. The Americans survived the first volley, and quickly broke both the half squads, prompting a retreat. With the broken Germans taking cover in J7, the Americans eventually overwhelmed the Germans in J7 and J5, and surrounded G5 in turn four for the victory.
2013-04-14(D) O Ramaille vs German winThe germans decide to hide in the orchard and grain and not in the buildings. The american concentrated their forces in order to cross the orchard as the grain would slow them. Soon hidden machine guns fired and the HMG alone broke 3 US squads. The US troops took time to recover and their advance were met with MG fire. The americans managed to capture the first building but their attack was disrupted.
2012-12-05(A) O Ramaille vs American winAmerican forces were divided in 2 groups, one trying to reach the orchard losing one squad and the other one moving along the south board of the map trying to bypass possible hidden german forces and reach building J7. This group encountered minor resistance. The tougher fight occured when the americans tried to capture building G5 protected by a squad manning a HMG. A final assault from several different directions ended up in close combat in which americans succeeded.
2012-01-04(A) steve mackintosh vs Chris Hofland American winthis is a great little scenario and introduces HIP to starter kit rules which is really nice. map should consider expanding sk to include simple concealment like this as it's one of the best parts of full asl.

back to the scenario...early on the germans did well exposing and eliminating 2 half squads hiding in the grain fields either side of the buildings. and soon after german victory looked certain as they stormed one building and broke all americans units in a second. only a half squad with leader and MMG was left holding the south building. the germans got impatient and charged over open ground. the MMG opened fire and rolled snake eyes! bye bye american assault squad and with it the game at the end of turn 4.

would like to play this one again as the germans, it really is great fun.
2011-09-20(D) Stefan C vs osterhausm German winAmericans conceded on turn 3 with only 1 good order half squad left, all squads casualty or ELR unit substitution. German Dice average : 5.5
2010-12-22(A) Jonathan Davis vs Jason Henry American winGermans conceded on Turn 4 with zero GO units with the Americans already in 2 of the buildings.
2010-06-01(D) Gary Gardner vs American German winThe Americans concentrated their forces on the southern edge of the map moving through the slowing grain. This surprised me a little as in previous SK scenarios time had usually been a big factor for the attacking player. Playing the Germans, I was weaker on the southern edge, but the HIP worked to my advantage making the Americans cautious in their movement. Overall the scenario shift first one way and then the other, by the time we reached the last turn either player could still have won. Ultimately the Americans still had too much to do and ended up holding 1 of the 3 objective buildings in the end. Enjoyable scenario, we hope to play it again reversing sides
2010-02-13(D) Paul Messina vs David Hassler German win
2010-01-16(A) John Shingara vs erik tomlin American winPlayed as German and won. Glitch in drop dawn.
2010-01-15(D) Edward Fritz vs John Kruth In progressGerman win - the "Result" drop down menu has two options for an American win and no option for a German win. I played this scenario as a "teaching" scenario for a newer player. We talked through the scenario about maneuvers and strategies, so the win/loss may not be indicative of a "normal" playing.
