2022-05-04(D) Dave Mareske vs Steve Anderson British winGermans advanced up the right side (east). The Sherman II wrecked two STUGs that came into view and forced the Germans to continue north to the canal and then move west. By then the Brits had the way blocked with both infantry and armor support. The DTF scenarios have been pretty good and would recommend their play.
2022-02-03(A) Jeff B vs Magnus Rimvall German winGerman plan was to send a few HS ahead to scout for HIPsters and maybe strip some concealment. while the rest of the force bided their time waiting for the armor to position themselves for some armored assaulting. Since theoretically the Germans could almost just AM/advance each turn and make it to the goal line this seemed like a sound plan. Of course plans never fulfill entirely as expected, and when over the next couple turns the Irish snipers went bonkers - braining the 10-2 and recalling two CE tanks - you would think I would've had cause for pause. But being that I was already on the doorstep of Board 79 with the majority of my force (laden with three DCs), I wasn't overly concerned. The first British vehicle was lost on Turn 4 when the AC got a bit too close for comfort and got fried by a PSK, but that was only the start of what would prove to be a hot finish. Turn 5 saw the Stuart baking but not burned after it had parked in what it thought was a blind spot, but the motion Achilles managed to escape certain death after the StuH that went after it broke its gun. The Germans then lost their remaining three AFVs as they moved into the victory circle trying to provide some cover for their all-important infantry. Would this prove to be too great a loss? I thought it would be, but the Achilles was torched by a PSK, and the Staghound by a captured PIAT. Going into Turn 6 the Germans just needed to survive a 4+3 on a stack worth 6VPs to win, which they did. An existing melee also went their way, granting them another 4VP (including the only 2VP coming from DCs). I was probably too overconfident going into this, but considering the damages the Irish snipers wreaked I think I'm justified to say that I'd want the Germans every time in this one.
2022-01-07(D) Andy Beaton vs Jeff Wasserman German win
2021-12-28(D) nathan wegener vs Rob Schmitt German winThe Stugs got several rolls on pivoting shots and were deadly to the Brit armor. Not enough left at the end to stem the tide.
2021-12-04(D) Simon Staniforth vs German winFun to play. As the Brits you get 6 AFVs all different. The Germans have limited infantry but a strong 10-2 leader and StuGs with lots of Smoke potential. Our game came down to the last CC the 10-2 proving the key, despite a number of MCs against him he breezed through them all to move into the victory area T6 and win the crucial CC
