2022-12-04(D) Vic Lauterbach vs Jim Miller British winI drew the British in this small, urban scrap which has VC that encourage boring tactics.
I expected Jim to keep his ELAS Partisans concealed and skulk until the last half turn then rush
into buildings next to the road for VP. To foil that, I occupied the most likely buildings he'd
try for to block him and force CC. To my surprise, Jim attacked two buildings, but his 7 ML
partisans broke while my 7 ML troops held. Then the skulking began! In the end, the ELAS never
found their tomato cans in CC, and the 5 SAN only broke one squad, while the Sherman and Staghound
relentlessly hammered any 337 in LOS. Broken Partisans struggled to rally, and I held on for a solid
win (31 VP to 25). I'd give the Partisans the balance. Jim's comments: Attacking the British infantry
is a bad idea. High MC, Rally DRs and high ambush and ATMM drs doomed my effort. Skulking preserves MMC but makes this short scenario dull for both players and the ELAS must kill one AFV to win;
