2026-05-19(D) Jeff B vs Scott Sherer German win3.25 hrsScott was very aggressive with his ACs on Turn 1, and by the end of the turn I had knocked out two of them (including the far superior PSW 222). With lots of open ground to cover and little time I thought this game was all but over. So I didn't blame him when he scurried his remaining AC to cover and very cautiously approached on Turns 2-3. Meanwhile I just sat in my stone buildings with about 2/3 of my force yet concealed, as skulking was very difficult with these tiny starter kit buildings. Turn 4 saw him reach the doorstep of the first building, in the process losing a HS and breaking the MA of his newly arrived tank. Turn 5 he of course made a bolder push, in the process losing two squads to my crew and HS. But what baffled me a bit was him driving both vehicles into the center of town. This of course was just another possible way to win the scenario, as there was little chance of him uncovering my three squads stoutly guarding the fort, and credit to him for catching that (and even more sporting of him to point it out to me). His tank was useless with its broken gun, so his AC is what got all of my attention. When shooting failed, needing only a 9 or less to eliminate it in CC, I rolled a 12. Well done. This one plays very fast, which is nice for a quick sit-down session, but overall way too dicey.
2026-03-27(D) Diane Spangler vs Lawrence SpanglerD German win
2025-12-11(D) Peter Veenstra vs Marten Jan Ringers German winEverything went wrong for the Danes. Both my AT guns malfed (turn 1 and turn 2). That really took away the threat for the German tanks.
We liked the game though.
2025-11-09(A) Jason Wert vs Cliff Welsh German win
2025-11-09(A) Allen Evenson vs Jim Rudek German win2025 West Coast Rumble, Round 4. Luck late CC (5 CC's at 1-1 won last two turns) by the Germans carried the day.
