2025-02-14(D) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalA DrawDid not finish ... too tedious and congested ... too many SSR to keep double checking with limited freedom of options.
2025-01-19(A) Richard Jenulis vs Brent Morris German (SS) winNot a beginners scenario. With Night, HASL rules, OBA, and chrome, there is a lot of rule dives. The Convoy rules on the narrow roads is cool, but tedious. Bad luck with the American OBA resulted in nothing more than a SR on board (malfunction, red card, broken observer). Skorzeny's SS took out a Firefly and made it into the Notre Dame De Dinant. Turn 7 the Germans mopped up the church and flooded the building with troops. The Americans did not have enough to evict the Germans and called the game on the bottom of turn 7. Defiantly worth playing.
