2021-05-31(D) John Garlic vs Greg Barsness French win[Imported from ROAR]
2019-11-07(A) X von Marwitz vs Marten Ringers German winInteresting early war action with plenty of German tanks, French ATGs and Char2 Bis behemoths. The scenario gives room for maneuver for both sides. The Germans are well advised not to lose time. As the German tanks are rather thin-skinned and the three French ATGs can really cause some harm. Time did not allow to play this scenario through to the end but by the end of German turn 3, I had eliminated/caputred all French infantry on the German right except for a HS&8+1 which were held in Melee. On the German left, the 9-2 and support were kind of a disappointment. The French had lost some infantry there, too, but held on until the French tanks arrived and made life difficult for the Germans. At the time my opponend conceded and we stopped, it looked as if the Germans had better chances for a win, but it was not a sure thing at that point.
2019-07-22(A) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall French winI went all in on the German left, with a couple of units guarding the seam between the two boards. Stubborn French resistance near the bridge held up some German units for too long. The ATG on that board destroyed three Pz2 before going down. Still had a chance to win on the last turn by trying to melee all the French near the road, but a French ambush avoided a German win.
2019-06-02(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Antti Westerlund German win[Imported from ROAR]
2016-10-01(D) Michael Rodgers vs George Tournemire German winMy ATG managed to kill two tanks and immobilize two others, but I lost too much infantry. After the fourth German turn, I conceded. Very interesting early war action.
