2021-03-05(A) Craig Renier vs Dave Mareske American winThe American assault started out well by breaking one squad with mortar fire and a half squad manning the German HMG. The Americans advanced slowly using the advantage of time. The Germans slowly withdrew to building 24V4/U4, unable to withdraw with the American overwatch in Building 1X2. When the American mortars broke and the 9-2 leader, HS, and MMG moved downstairs, the Germans made a dash for the board edge. However, the Americans were able to exact enough casualties that the Germans had to return or accept a loss. With enough CVPs for the win, the Americans fell back and the German conceded.

2021-03-02(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Craig Renier American winIt looked as if the german victory was won at turn 4. It turned out though that the german officer had misread the B...y, f...ng SSRs and VCs. After realising that, the retreating germans har to turn back into the enemy and now everything looked bleak, especially since german officers started taking stupid risks. The american tendency to roll 4 on every IFT roll also made the german victory crumble into defeat.
2021-03-02(A) Craig Renier vs Vilis Pavulans American winThe American player made a number of significant mistakes early on which resulted in early American casualties. Struggling from behind, the American advance was able to make some gains, but the Germans began a quick withdrawal leaving a few broken squads behind. However, after a late review of the VCs, the German player realized he left too many units behind and reversed course. The Americans were able to maneuver into good position causing enough German casualties leaving the German player with little choice but to concede.
2021-03-01(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier American winAfter a good couple first turns of American progress, the Americans hit a wall with some good active sniper hits and IFT results by the Germans made it a much closer game. The Germans made a break with some of their squads but they ended up broken and the squads in the building V3 finally broke and we finally called it in Turn 6. The Americans put their 9-2 and both MMGs on level 2 on board 1...a risk that paid off as they go a fair amount of ROF. Great game, ready to play again.
