2021-09-13 | (D) Steve Boro | vs | Craig Renier | German win | The Germans made good use of the FlaK 36, hiding it in the grain at the edge of the hill, and scoring a hit with the special HEAT round on an adjacent M4A1, slowing the American advance. The German PZIVf2 was shocked by a solid 37LL shot upon entry, recovered but was them immobilized by the same M5A1. The M5A1 was later destroyed by the PZIV, but that was the only contribution by German armor. The American firepower started breaking the German infantry and the Americans skillfully captured many building hexes on the last couple of turns. A single German squad was able to re-capture one of the lost building hexes forcing the final turn CC's, in which the Germans barely hung on to the last building hex needed. | |
2021-09-13 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Steve Boro | German win | The initial American assault was stymied when one tank was lost to Heat from the German Gun. The German defense would not break significantly slowing the American advance. With reinforcements, the American used his tanks to shove his way into the village and finally make progress. But the initial delay left the Americans with little time. In the final CCPh, the Americans could only CR a German MMC leaving the Americans one building hex shy of a victory. | |
2020-11-24 | (A) Scott Fischbein | vs | Craig Renier | American win | Fun scenario with an appropriate title. I used my tanks to shove Craig's forces back, and his tank wasn't able to do much to shove back... especially after it malf'd it's gun in turn 4. As always, enjoyed playing with Craig. | |
2020-11-12 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Scott Fischbein | American win | The Americans drove decisively on the German left. The Germans held their fire too long and let the Americans get too close. When the German finally revealed his gun, it was too late to make any great impact. When the German tank entered the fray, it was able to cause some damage, but too much had been lost. A one sided American victory. | |
2020-10-23 | (A) Kermit Mullins | vs | Scott Waites | American win | My Americans struggled in the early part of the game to make any progress. Managed to slide around to the south and gain buildings there. I was stalled in the north as I kept pinning, breaking and ELR'ing for good measure. German Stug took out a Sherman and a Stuart. But by Turn 5, I had 13 building hexes and my opponent called it as his infantry were too broken up to take back the locations. | |
2020-07-26 | (A) Chris Anthony | vs | Brent Griffin | American win | Close game until the last turn and a half. Americans were able to overwhelm the Germans with three tanks and more units. Timely rally on turn 5 saved the American push for the center of the map. | |
2020-06-27 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Grachev | American win | ||
2020-06-23 | (A) Macari Samuel | vs | G. | American win | The Americans were first delayed by the effectiveness of Germans fire. But the destruction of the Gun and the aggressiveness of the attackers allowed them to control the buildings necessary for victory. The scenario is balanced and allows to bring together infantry, Guns and AFV. | |
2019-03-28 | (A) Marco Pasquini | vs | Galloni Davide | American win | ||
2019-03-28 | (D) davide galloni | vs | Marco Pasquini | American win | ||
2018-03-15 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | American win | The German defense broke the first American assault and destroyed a light tank. The Sherman suffered a lot of hits from the Flak gun and MG fire, but finally silenced the gun before being the Panzer IV coming to reinforce. The American regrouped and pushed back the German infantry. Many buildings were still in German control in the last turn but their firepower was lacking. The last assault of the American infantry overwhelmed the Germans to get the control of 13 building hexes and win the battle. | ||
2013-09-04 | (A) Martà Cabré | vs | Solo | Draw | I placed the Germans in forward positions and they were blasted by American fire. The AA gun could not blast a tank and it was destroyed by advancing fire. The Americans received few reinforcements as they advanced slow, but the combination of good/bad rolls made that no German squad ever rallied while the Americans rallied everything. On turn 4 there was only the German tank defending the town and the infantry was in Melee or broken. Then, with only one American tank left and all broken infantry there was no defense and the German conceded the game. |
