2021-11-19(D) nathan wegener vs James Treu Commonwealth winGermans grabbed Maleme easily but stalled when a kill stack disintegrated on a low odds shot. Disrupted the timing of the attack and the German played it safe the rest of the game to avoid CG CVP.
2017-10-15(A) Ruben Rigillo vs Francesco Berucci Commonwealth winThird of Campaign
2015-03-18(D) fabrizio da pra vs Alessandro Cunego, Franco Merci Commonwealth winTwo turn played so far,
the German came down concentrated and quite far from the Commonwelth forces and took only light losses (2 squads).
They managed to rearm 60% of the forces on turn 2 while losing 1 squad and a couple of broky to a timid Commonwelth counterattak (better try to kill them while they are still 2-2-8).
A very nice scenario with a great historical feeling.
