Ad Hoc at Chef-Du-Pont | Richard Matheson | German | 2020-10-30 | Won | Richard made great early progress across the board, and was in good position to potentially exit a few squads and leaders... Sadly, I was also pretty well positioned to defend the exit hex, with one 467/LMG adjacent and the 9-1/467/MMG combo covering from a few hexes away. He was within striking distance of the end zone when he got hit with a 8 down 2 shot and I rolled a 5 for a K/2, CR-ing his last squad that could have made it off and sealing the fate of the doomed Germans. | 8 |
Once the Americans were able to mass their (massive) FP along the river on either side of the footbridge, those two FGs were soon DMd and the route to victory was open.
This scenario is the SK version of a couple of ASL scenarios, one of which is in the mini HASL "Hell's Corner." IIRC, both of the ASL versions are difficult for the Americans to win. However, IMO this SK version is tilted noticeably in favor of the Americans.
That imbalance, coupled with unlucky dice, was more than Bob could overcome.
