2024-10-12(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best New Zealand winA somewhat gamey scenario with a lot of over design that restricts the players to a somewhat specific scripting. The Village fight plays second fiddle to the Set DC attempt. Dark and mud and too many overlays...just gum up the works. In our game, the British got armor to the T6 location and managed to break the German 3-3-8 as it attempted to place the DC in T6. The Carrier then moved into the T6 hex for the win.
2024-10-12(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins New Zealand win2.5 hrsThis scenario is over designed. Too many overlays. Dismantled support weapons and the dumbest set up instructions. All this combines to make this scenario a series of stupid movement and bad shooting. Do not play this scenario there is nothing fun and everything annoying about scenario design in it.
2021-01-21(D) Rob MacGinley vs Jean-Yves Tessier New Zealand winVery close game where the DC component was very important
