"Collect Call" from the latest Journal. A neat little puzzle, and a fun scenario.

Hungarian rocket launcher; used around Budapest in the Fall of '44.

When H.P. got underway, the "Finnish Guys" requested I submit "One Story Town" for inclusion in H.P., since it was an action that wasn't covered by any of their scenarios. I don't know why it wasn't included. I'm pleased to finally see it as an official scenario.

Hey Tom, you betcha! It's the scenario that spawned the "Finns armed only with sporks" story, as told by Roger Foss(R.I.P. The Raj). I'm happy to see it become an official scenario.

"War In The Ruins" by Longacre, has an account of the Americans and Germans duking it out in factories.

Pete, I wanna say there was a factory battle at Kharkov in '43.(I might be mis-remembering...)

Yeah. So, two of the cupolas are ok, and the one in J5 needs to be elsewhere. Like I said, it's been 20+ years! However, that was a big part of Sam's set up. It worked great.

I think this, or something similar, is how Sam set up his Armored Cupolas to prevent the Germans, who occupy the Victory Building at Game Start, from ever gaining concealment, and severely limiting rout paths. (Granted, it's been 20+years, so my memory is a little foggy.)

The Victory Building is not a rowhouse. The SSR means that "all multi-hex buildings" have only a Ground Level and a 1st Level. But that does not automatically make them rowhouses.

The way Sam set up the Russians, the German units in the Victory building never have/gain concealment. It was a really well thought out set up.

The Russian player sets up his fortifications around the victory building. Which, with units in them, prevents the German defenders from ever gaining concealment, and cutting their rout choices, making it MUCH easier for the Russians to take the victory building early in the game. Sam used...

The patented "Sam Belcher Defense"(RIP Sam, we miss ya!) used by the Russian player, is as close to a "sure thing" as I've ever seen in an ASL scenario.

Russians don't need the balance.

Just no.

If you believe that, purchase real precision dice. https://www.gammonvillage.com/backgammon-shop/backgammon-accessories/backgammon-precision-dice/ I began using these dice after a particularly awful string of "bad luck" DRs during a tournament in 2000. I stopped worrying about the dice, and...

Tip of the tail of the end of the war in Europe. Hungarian S.S. formation was basically just a "roadblock" to the Americans. The Hungarians, from the info I've been able to dig up, did knock out a couple of American vehicles with panzerfausts, and put up decent resistance, but were overrun and...

Actually, yes it did. 👍

Now, Americans vs Hungarians...🆒
