Participants Hugmenot (AAR)

Language English
Scenario FaoF015

Let me be the first to say that this scenario should result in a German victory. The German tanks should be able to march across the boards and off without much of a problem. If they have to shoot at all it is a surprise.

In our play all of this changed due to two single shots. In both cases where I had a shot at a PzII I rolled "12s". This will happen roughly once out of 1,300 tries, therefore take nothing from this play as indicative of relative skill levels or the balance of the scenario. Having said that, Daniel still had sufficient force to win the game but I was able to roll another few 10s and 9s when needed. Indeed, very few French shots failed to hit during this play. Luckily it was quick. Unexpected executions such as this should always be quick.

I did not rush out to write up an AAR primarily as I was embarrassed by the luck that I had in the play. Again the Germans should win this one without much difficulty, even with the hidden French tanks. I give it a red-faced "3".
