2023-11-04(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winExceedingly tough game for me and my Russians. Dan's Germans simply knocked the snot out of me. 9 Tanks vs. 6 AT Guns, 5 of which can't kill a Tiger makes for a dismal ASL experience. The placement of the Orchard Overlay in the middle of the grain field, which blocks the 1st level of the stone building out front seems petty and pernicious. I went with a rear defense and tried to maintain my concealment. Didn't work, Dan's dice were simply too hot and he carved me up in Advancing Fire against concealed Russians. My AT Guns did nothing and three would MALF. At the end of Turn 2, I gave up, I only had 4 squads unbroken and both machine guns were out of action. My 76L' s had both been destroyed. My 57LL AT was MALF'd with a Tiger next to it and my 45L's were pea shooters. My dice were cold and this really killed any chance I might have had. I took a rear shot at a stopped Tiger...9 to hit...rolled an 11. Between my bad rolls and the scenario itself...I checked out. Not fun.
