Semper Paratus | Germans (Heloanjin) | Canadian | 2022-07-14 | Won | 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. | 8 |
Zon with the Wind | German (Not Sure) | American | 2022-05-04 | Lost | German victory. After shaking off a few dents when entering, the two wings of the American attack advanced as mutually supporting columns down the gully and West side of the village and reached the approaches to the exit hexes relatively unscathed. The Germans skillfully retreated to delay the columns, but were unable to hold them back and lost one 88L to AFph and CC/Melee. However, the American's concentrated push in the West failed to cover one 4-4-7/LMG in the East moving to block one of the exit hexes. On the American's final turn, 14 Exit VP were in reach of exiting - and victory seemed assured when the one remaining 88L rolled boxcars - but 8 VPs (including the 9-2 leader) were unable to push through the FF, SFF, FPF and the wall of residual thrown by the one blocking 4-4-7/LMG, all failing MCs., leaving the Americans with 1 VP short of the 7 required to win. A very thin margin that ultimately went to the German's skillful defense and the American's inexplicable failure to drop smoke on one the blocking 4-4-7's hex to lessen the effect of its Defensive Fire. Good game @NotSure | 8 |
Zon with the Wind | Americans (Squire of Gothos) | German | 2022-04-20 | Won | German victory. In this intense, seesawing scrap, the Americans were pinned and badly attritted in their entry hexes in Turns 1 and 2 through a combination of smiling Dice Gods and FTR. Payback came in Turns 3 and 4 in the form of a devastating American sniper attack (KIA on German 8-1/break 4-6-7 via LLMC), which sent the Germans scurrying back to their "Alamo" entrenchments with 88Ls near exit hexes with 2 GO squads (some others cut-off when caught in over-zealous route cutting attempts). The tide swung back to the Germans with a sniper attack (KIA on HoB-generated hero/break Baz 44 toting 7-4-7) and 88L hits on another 7-4-7 in bypass and a 9-2/7-4-7 stack caught in the open with a risky intensive fire. This proved to be decisive as these units had the best prospects of exit. Tough scenarios if Germans use forward defense and get good early rolls and Americans fail multiple smoke attempts..... | 8 |
