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	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

Player	Date	Notes
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.

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.
Chris Larkin	2024-12-29	Canadians were able to RoF smoke between the gun and the MTR to mask all the pillbox approaches on the first turn. Germans could not do anything for two turns. Perhaps if the Canadians did not have the option to move in behind the pillboxes from offboard to the east/west it would be easier to have more opportunities to defend as the Germans by not having to cover so many approaches. This one seems to hinge entirely on how successful the Canadians are with smoke on the early turns.
