| 2021-05-30 | (A) Jason Nichols | vs | David Garvin | Japanese win (VASL Log) | Second round of IR Tournament. I played the Americans. David did well in sighting his hidden tanks and panjis. I lost one tank early and couldn't score a hit on the Japanese tanks. Hindrances, TEM and a burning wreck didn't help. The American infantry pushed through on the left flank and succeeded in killing off some of the defending infantry. By the time the Americans had killed off the two Japanese tanks and were able to push through in preparation for exiting it was turn 5 with only one movement phase remaining and still one hidden Japanese tank to deal with. The Americans needed everything to go well on the last turn to win. However the last Japanese tank was revealed when it ambushed my Sherman and set it ablaze, killing the riders as well. Game over! Well played David. Good luck with the next round. |
| 2021-05-30 | (D) David Garvin | vs | Jason Nichols | Japanese win | Duplicate reporting for my own personal record. I thought for sure that Jason had me, but my last tank (with AL) took out a Sherman at Point Blank, setting it ablaze and securing the win for me. |
| 2021-05-25 | (D) Richard Webb | vs | Morris Legge | American win | Round two of the Illuminating Rounds Tournament. I lost too a quad and a half early on, but pulled back into the game with an effective ambush killing 2 of the 3 tanks) Morris managed his infantry very well, and was picking me off a position at a time. Last turn was crazy, but too little too late. Well earned US Win. |
| 2021-05-15 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Dennis Dowd | Japanese win | This time the IJA set their tanks along the road and they were disposed of by the US tanks and INF, but ran out of time and came up 1 EVP short of the needed 16. |
| 2021-05-14 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Tom Repetti | Japanese win | Round two of the Scenario Archive Tournament. Tom had an impressive defense, setting the tanks in the rear forcing my tanks to run the gauntlet on infantry, ending up losing two tanks. The third fell to the first HIP tank. Ended up needing to take too many chances at the end forcing the victory going to the IJA. Fun scenario, learn lots about PTO and IJA capabilities; tough one on the Americans. |
