2020-11-15(D) Chris Anthony vs Will Willow German winThe French cleared the north side of the fjord quickly taking the single squad prisoner. Their attack was bogged down by the Germans above the bridge. It was very difficult to get anything across even with strong covering fire just above the bridge. The game was called once the CVP reached 5 during the middle of Turn 6.
2020-05-27(A) Dan Best vs Paul Works German win
2020-05-27(D) Paul Works vs Daniel Best German winI set up my Germans in entrenchments, on the far side from the French setup/entry area, along the length of the stream; left one HS (in a foxhole after being reminded by Dan...) on the near side of the stream. Dan's on-board troops moved into overwatch and flanking positions along the near ridge line. During the French attempt to slip past the stream on the board edges, only one HS made it across without breaking. The German HS on the near side of the stream killed a French HS in CC and then was able to rout to safety across the bridge. A MC vs. a French HS resulted in Casualty Reduction. As the French reinforcements entered, the German sniper (SAN 5) killed the French 9-1 leader, then broke another squad. A French squad manning a MMG went berserk, and at the start of the French Turn 3 MPh had to charge into the stream to take an 18-1 shot (resulting in a KIA). That brought the French to 6 CVP of losses and the end of the game. This is a tough one for the French. The LC Hindrance has the French shooting at typically +3 (or minimally +2) against the Germans in foxholes and trenches, with the Germans shooting back at +2 (or +1, or +0 with the hero). At some point the French have to get across the stream to use their DCs and attempt to force the pillbox/bunker.
