2021-10-21(A) Eric Topp vs John Fedoriw German winThis was my first game using the Dinant map. Not wanting to think too much I rolled randomly for the German Entry Areas. My AC and MTR entered in the north and everything else entered in the south. In hindsight, I think that the Germans should enter much closer to the bridge i.e. Entry Areas 2 and 3.

The Belgian rearguard tied up my German infantry for most of the game. Finally on turn 7, my German MG were in position to fire on the bridge. The last wagons Galloped (D12.4) towards the west edge but were cut down and John conceded.

This looks tough for the Allies as that 28 VP total is hard to achieve.
2021-02-15(D) Chuck Dye vs DD Belgian / French win
2020-07-25(A) Richard Jenulis vs Brent Morris German winVASL: I'm not sure how the Belgium player is expected to win this scenario. This was over before the reinforcements arrived. The only German losses were an Armored Car (over aggressive play on my part), and a squad to CC. The Belgium lost nearly everything. My first play on the DN map.
2020-06-25(A) patrick palma vs Jack Boyle German win
2020-04-09(D) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler German winI made a mistake (as the Belgians) and didn't leave enough of a covering force for the wagons. Also, I tried to set a DC a bit too soon.

Rob, as always, made me pay dearly for mistakes. His attack was methodical as always.

I'd certainly give this one another
go.
