The Niscemi-Biscari Highway | Craig Renier | American | 2022-01-15 | Won | The Americans held off the German advance, taking out the armored car as it came up out of the gully. Keeping concealment and limiting the German fire is key. The mines ended up being well-placed slowing the advance even further. | 9 |
The Niscemi-Biscari Highway | Craig Renier | German | 2022-01-05 | Won | Slow advance up the gully side of the map proved to catch the Americans slightly out of position. The armored car got an open ground overrun attack on a squad and a leader proving to be a turning point in the game. The Germans eventually broke the two of the American positions and leaving very little forces to make an effective counter-attack. | 8 |
The Governor | Dennis Dowd | Australian | 2021-05-24 | Lost | A bloody fight down to the final HtH CC in the Victory building. The Aussies have been beaten on their CCs throughout the game, but blew the final 2-1 HtH by rolling an 11. Good game Dennis, well played as he kept enough Vichy forces to secure the Victory building. | 8 |
An Uncommon Occurrence | Dennis Dowd | German | 2021-01-29 | Won | Dennis lined up the Polish tanks but missed the shots as the German armor rolled up. The Germans got a couple key bounding fire shots that crippled the Polish east flank. By the end of turn 2 the Poles had lost 4 of their 37Ls and the Germans had only one Stunned PZ1. Talking through the next turn Dennis conceded the game. This is a great game to learn some armor basics. For the Scenario of the Month, tried to do a VASL log, but did not hit the right button...sorry. Still trying to learn the VASL ways. | 8 |
Monstir Gap | Dan Best | German (SS) | 2020-12-06 | Won | After the Greeks folded like a cheap tent in turn three, the Germans were able to set up defensively to meet the British Reinforcements. The British were unable to mount an effective counter attack. | 8 |
The Dead of Winter | Dennis Dowd | Russian | 2020-11-23 | Won | Playing of the Scenario of the Month. The Germans eliminated their MA on the dug in tank on the first shot. The Germans had a clustered defense and the Russians came right at them, avoiding the bore-sighted hexes. A failed attempt at placement of a DC and the AT getting Xed on another "12" sealed the Russian win with nothing left to stop the tanks from moving off. vlog attached. Enjoy. | 8 |

Craig Renier | 2022-07-14 | The Germans clustered the pillboxes against the pond in the center so there was no approach outside of any CA. The Canadian MTR and captured AT gun failed to get smoke on the first turn, making any approach hazardous. The attack was pressed on one side with the defenders having good luck. However, a few Canadians managed to get through the residual and FL so they could enter CC at favorable odds. Once one pillbox was breached, the remaining pillboxes had little recourse. We made a few mistakes on pillbox rules which may have swayed the result. Overall, well played by both sides. A fun short, albeit somewhat one sided scenario. | |
Mark Thompson | 2022-07-14 | The Canadians depleted smoke on both the 51 MTR and captured 75L AT Gun in their first shots and initially bungled their close approach to the German's tight-knit bunker system, but eventually pushed through to engage in CC with each of the bunker occupants without having to cross the bunker CAs. The Germans severely bruised the Canadians with an effective fire lane and other residual and, although the Canadians prevailed in all CCs, several were achieved through a mutual misinterpretation of ambush rules in the Canadians favor, so a draw best captures this neat little scrap. A good primer on Pillboxes. | |
Allen Evenson | 2022-11-12 | I had chances at CC against Pill Boxes early but didn't get the rolls. Should have used smoke more. | |

Stephane Nolet | 2024-10-20 | The Canadians missed the victory by a turn. The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry eliminated all but one German squad, but was only controlling one Pillbox at the end of turn 4. The Pak 40 performed poorly being broken on turn 2 (B#10 and TH Red numbers and +2 TH DRM for a capured Ordnance) The Canucks were unable to repair the PAK 40 the squad manning it broked and had to rout. Fortunately the 51 mm Mortar layed some SMOKE to cover the attack. The Canadians were lucky with 3 SAN resulting ine three broken squads that were easily defeated in CC thereafter and they also rolled 2 Heat of Battle resulting in a Hero Creation and a Berserk squad that eliminated a 8-0 and a squad in CC. With another movement phase the Canadians would have controlled 4 Pillboxes but instead they only were controlling one Pillbox at game's end resulting in a German Win. |
