2023-04-01 | (A) Eric Partizan Eric | vs | | | German win | |
2023-03-18 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Mark Sockwell | | British win | The Germans had a strong up-front defense which the Brits were able to get behind and find their way into the buildings. The Crocodile was able to flame some squads and a tank causing the reinforcements to have little effect. |
2023-03-03 | (D) Asad Rustum | vs | Olav Heie | | British win | Played this at ASO2023. I bid B0. Some initial success with surprises for the Brits but a too front-heavy German defence, especially with the guns, was no match for Olav's Germans. |
2023-03-03 | (A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås | vs | Olivier | | German win | ASL Scandinavian Open round 1. The Crocodile fired 5 shots without affecting his enemies much, then became immobilized by the PaK40 which was positioned in front of the church, making it impossible to take the church. Great opponent. |
2023-03-02 | (A) Jim Bishop | vs | Magnus Rimvall | | British win | Played at ASO. I bid A1, allowing the defender to exchange 2X4-6-7s for 2X4-6-8s. Crocodile never really gets into the game as it moves too slowly. The defender had some early success slowing the attack but once the Brit's reached usable TEM, the tide turned decisively. One interesting piece was 2Xhs moving into CC with the 76L crew and 1X4-6-8. The hs won the ambush, eliminated the Gun crew, and survived the attack back. In the next round, the hs eliminate the 4-6-8, survive, capture and re-crew the Gun. In the next Prep Fire phase, the hs turn the gun and eliminate the German half track parked near by. Magnus conceded at 12 buildings plus the church when it was clear I was going to have no problems taking the rest of the buildings needed for the win. |

2022-12-12 | (D) Andy Bagley | vs | Gordon Jupp | | German win | That Churchill Crocodile is pretty terrifying, but the British weakness is lack of infantry - 13 squads vs 10 once the German reinforcements arrive. So my plan with the Germans was to fall back fairly quickly and avoid losses until my reinforcements arrived, then punch it out at close quarters. This worked fairly well, although the Brits made good use of smoke early on to advance steadily.
I had all three MGs and the StuG's MA malfunction (only the HMG recovered) but the Iron Cross went to a squad that knocked out both the non-FT Churchills with a PSK, braving the backblast on both occasions. Whilst our average dice were pretty even, the Brits suffered some MC failures at crucial moments, and as a result found themselves unable to take the church (P3) on their last turn against German troops in all three levels of it. A good scenario and a tense, exciting game. |
2022-12-12 | (A) Grant Linneberg | vs | Jerry Proudfoot | | German win | Gusts on the first turn made smoke a non-starter for the first turn. On the second turn, 4 of 5 smoke capable Brit units depleted their smoke without getting any. So it was slow going grinding forward. However, a pair of snake eyes and a sniper attack even the tables once more. Then the German got his own back to back ones to get two PFs in a row and elimed a Churchill and the Croc. After that, The Brits didn't look to have enough to take P3 AND 9 more locations. Conceded turn 6. |
2022-10-15 | (A) Eric Partizan Eric | vs | | | German win | |
2022-08-05 | (D) Stephen dedier | vs | Chuck Payne | | British win | British smoke helped clear the way for the advance and the German AT guns couldn't cause any damage to the Churchills. Germans couldn't hold the line anywhere and all original units were eliminated or broken by the time reinforcements came on. |
2022-07-29 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Scott Martin | | British win | Good use out of smoke assets and was able to push aggressively to village edge. Got a couple timely rolls and was in the back on turn 3 with clear path to use the croc to full effect. StL2022 |
2022-05-07 | (A) Rich Weiley | vs | Dave Wilson | | British win | Attacked down the British left flank where my opponent's defence looked a little thin in front of the P3 victory building. Eliminated the 50L in an ambush position in one of the board edge woods hexes without loss and pushed on to clear the P3 building by turn 4, taking out the 9-1, HMG and 468 in CC on the way. Only substantial loss was the Crocodile to a critical hit from the panzerschreck, but as this was a rear hull hit I now think this would have only eliminated the trailer and left me with a functioning gun tank. In turn 4 when my defensive fire broke the 8-1, MMG ,468 in P5 leaving them with limited rout options, my opponent surrendered. |
2022-03-03 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Scott Mullins | | British win | My plan is to SMOKE the front line of defense and move straight up the middle, push towards P3, but my main force will take the buildings north of the main road. The plan worked well, though my Brits kept failing their MCs on Turn one. By Turn 3, the Crocodile started weighing in, killing two squads and a leader, then staying a thorn in the German side on the left flank. By Turn 6 the Brits had most of the buildings north of the road, P3 and were moving through the tangle of buildings behind P3. The Germans conceded on their turn 6. Scott had a very good up-front defense. |

2022-03-01 | (A) Simon Staniforth | vs | | | Draw | Had to call the game as ran out of time. The Germans were still holding the church with the 75ATG in there and the Croc had gone down to a PF so it was too close to call. Fun to play scenario. |
2022-03-01 | (A) Ian Morris | vs | Simon Staniforth | | Draw | Actually, game abandoned rather than a draw : it was after midnight and we were both tired and making mistakes. Very entertaining up to that point, however. |
2022-02-23 | (D) Jeff B | vs | Steve Etzelmueller | | German win | For once a HazMo scenario that didn't go to the very end. Unfortunately it was no better than any of the others I'd played. This one felt extremely similar to HazMo1 due to the constrictive nature of the board. The plan was the same - deploy, block the way with bodies, break and rally back with 8ML, replace with fresh (mostly concealed) bodies, rinse and repeat. The plan worked beautifully, helped along by my sniper braining first the 9-1, then the 7-0. When the first FT shot from the Croc X12'd my opponent threw in the towel on Turn 5. Boring. |
2021-12-11 | (A) nathan wegener | vs | Wes Vaughn | | German win | Rocked the smoke early but stuffed by well placed up front defense. |
2021-12-08 | (A) Simon Staniforth | vs | | | British win | My opponent has already submitted a write up and yes I breezed past the ATG traps helped by a dud and 75mm Malfing on an IF shot. I felt behind the curve for most of the game but you get a lot of time and eventually roaming HS got behind the defence and caused encirclement ultimately sealing the fate of the church occupants. With 5 Locations to Control, not a scenario where the Brits should declare NQ. Croc did it’s job taking out key defensive units - I think the worst result it achieved was a 3 MC. Second one I’ve played from the HazMo pack, enjoyed them both and would happily play this one again as either side |
2021-12-08 | (D) Ian Morris | vs | Simon | | British win | Very enjoyable scenario, British victory achieved on turn 7 when the last Germans broke in the church. Woe, woe and thrice woe, as every trap I set for my opponent failed to work. And not a single ‘Faust for the entire game ! Nevertheless, very close until the end. |
2021-12-04 | (D) Michael Rodgers | vs | George Young | | German win | British need to get smoke or stay out of the open. |
