2023-07-23(D) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. German winA rare scenario that both my friend and I thought was fun and balanced. Both sides are forced to attack and defend which makes for a tense and demanding scenario.

I thought I had the game won when I finally finished off the last of the US forces near the bridge and reinforced the church. My friend pointed out that building was too far away from the bridge forcing me to put my men back into the line of fire.

The game ended suddenly on the bottom of turn 7 when I took out the last Sherman with one of my StuG's. My friend said that was game since he didn't have enough forces to fulfill the first part of the VC's. I was so focused on the building part of the VC's that I had forgotten about the 25 VP requirement the Americans needed to meet as well. A sudden and surprising end to a very enjoyable scenario.
2020-04-14(A) Maurizio Mai vs Sgt. Essig American winVery nice scenario. Both players attacking and defending at the same time. In our case it was quite dicey for the AFVs, out of 7 AFVs one American break down for ESB failure at first turn, 3 (one German) had MA half, one was killed with a TH9 and +6DRM. The hidden HS with PSK did not manage to "surprise" the American AFVs, while the American HMG did not kept one single ROF. Ended at Turn 7.
