Overview:

Many Axis soldiers in Arbuzov arose on a bitterly cold Christmas Day to discover that they had been abandoned. The main force had apparently continued on their retreat without rounding up all the soldiers in the column from their scattered nighttime resting places. The abandoned soldiers, about 1500 in number, mostly Italians, believed they were doomed and decided to sell their lives dearly. Soon they heard the sounds of approaching Soviet troops. . .

2022-12-08(D) mark Ruggiero vs russian Axis winAs I am reentering ASL I have played off and on since release in the 80s. I had fun playing my Italians and barely won. I love ASL for all the John wayne moments and My Conscripts performed above and beyond. The Germans Broke and ran. Full of wild moments.
2022-10-04(A) Owen Edwards vs Axis winInteresting situation, though the Blazes both ended up on the east end of the village, with the rest of the village upwind - so Smoke was a fairly minor part of this game. The T-70 got CHed by the Italian MG, which was a fringe result - but the T-70 probably isn't the absolute crux of Soviet hopes (when close up it's really only IFE4). The Soviets mostly just failed MCs in clumps, and progressed too slowly - though technically they got everyone into CC at the end of the game (albeit on bad odds in some cases), so could have won it.
2022-09-10(A) Shane Pask vs Russian winProgress was slow through the smoke shrouded centre of town but it all came down to the last CC of the game. I had saved my HtH CC for this and needed it. I attacked the last (wounded) squad and wounded 9-2 with 2:1 odds and rolled 9 for the win. Pretty boring for the Axis as their options are limited.
2020-05-24(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske Russian win
