after action report

AP143 Late For Chow - AAR Edit: I was made aware that we have used incorrect setup areas for the Americans in our game: SSR 2 forces the Americans to set up in hexes numbered => 4, not =< 4 In this 1944 Bocage action, a dozen of tough 548 Fallschirmjäger squads lead by four leaders with...

SP253 De Zwarte Duivels - AAR Early war west-front action which pits German defenders vs. Dutch elite attackers. The Germans have to gain more VP basically by holding building(s) on the 'dutch' side of a canal while remaining Good Order and in LOS to it. They can attempt to reinforce their...

DB099 The Gin Drinker's Line - AAR Set in December 1941 close to Hong Kong, this scenario pits a Japanese Infantry force against British (Indian) Infantry defenders. At this time, No Quarter is not in effect per default as we are normally used to in PTO. PTO Terrain is not in effect in this...

J175 Bedburg Bite - AAR In this late war 1945 shoot out a tough British force of Elite infantry supported by three Chruchill tanks, a flame throwing Badger and three Kangaroo APCs have to take on a village which is well defended by a capable German infantry force it is dangerous to get close...

FrF93 Wiener Walzer - AAR This scenario pits a mechanized German force reinforced by a number of tanks against defending Russians set up for ambush reinforced by some dreaded T-34s in 1941. The Germans will have no alternative than to run the gauntlet which will lead to some losses. This...

J94 Kempf At Melikhovo - AAR A quick 4 1/2 turn scenario set in Russia, July 1943. The Russians Guards unit has to defend some village buildings with some infantry aided by a 45LL ATR. A KV-1 M41 will appear to reinforce either turn 1-4 based on a dr. The Germans have the same number of squads...

RPT105 Flaming Star - AAR In this small 5.5 Turn 1945 late-war shoot-out, the Russians need to rush quite some distance forward to capture more than half of the given building hexes. They are supported by 6 bad-ass IS-2 tanks. The Germans have not enough infantry to cover too much ground and...

HP#17 Down Radio Road - AAR Played this game as the attacking Japanese vs. my regular opponent David Wallace commanding the Marines. Set in June 1944, we are looking at a short 5.5 Turn action in which a Japanese force of 50% Elite and 50% First line infantry supported by 4 tanks have to punch...

FT81 Dubrovka I have played this recently at Grenadier as the Germans and lost to Francois Boudrenghien in an exiting and eventful game. Now I have played it again with my long-time opponent from Australia, David Wallace - this time as the Russian defender. When looking at the scenario card...

DB035 A Hotly Contested Crossroads - AAR Sharp 1945 Eastern Front action with an Elite Guards force with strong armor support attacking a village held by quality Germans supported by 2 Hetzers and a few ht-toys. The Germans have to hold on to a certain number of buildings. Problems for the...

SP202 Fiery Finale – AAR This is an unusual (very) late war scenario by Mike Augustine covering a situation, in which historically, the Russians have stealthily created a small bridgehead for a carefully prepared attack. Then, the Russian company commander – absent in the rear for weeks –...

FrF86 Belgian Tigers - AAR A quite fast playing scenario set in early war Belgium. The Belgians defend on the far side of a canal with some infantry, 2x MMG and a 75L AA Gun and will receive reinforcements in the form of a radioless tank platoon and later 4 squads plus leader. The Germans...

Hart Attack (J167) - AAR This scenario has some interesting things in it: A German 40LL ATG is rarely seen in ASL, 5x US M3 tanks are nice to play with. And the victory conditions make this scenario special. You need to figure out quite well what you are planning to achieve and how to allot...

BFP-97 Renewed Pressure - AAR: My opponent proposed this scenario that has seen quite some play over the years. ROAR has it 31:20 pro German (Jan. 2018) with a rather high Exitement Rating of 6.95 out of 9. I have played it before back in 2012 as the Germans and lost. This time, I would have...

BFP-48 Ninth Tanks - AAR I had played this one before a couple of years ago as the US and remembered it being a fun scenario, so I gladly played it again when proposed by one of my opponents. This time as the Japanese. Note: The Mild Breeze must go into the opposite direction. I conceded...

SP276 Triumphant Return - AAR A short 5 Turn one-board PTO action pitting a mostly first line force of Americans vs a mostly first line Japanese force with two Trenches and two Pillboxes (with Tunnels), these Fortifications having to set up in a more restricted area than the rest of the...

Lenin's Sons (J103) - AAR Situation at the start of the game: A much played infantry only scenario which pits a crack German force vs. a crack Russian one. I had the Germans in this one. With regard to the general tactic, there's no magic in this one: Woods on the German left flank, open...

FrF89 Red Tears Shed On Gray - AAR Note that Hexrow R is NOT in play - it was added because otherwise the LOS tool of VASL was offset. An early East front scenario that pits the Romanians vs. the Russians. The Romanians have a pretty good force of 16 squads, 4 of which are Assault Engineers...
