After attending the West Coast Rumble in Nov. 2016 I got a request to play a Vasla RB campaign versus Darren Kovacs. This is only my third Campaign Game and my first game on Vasla
Darren and I have played 4 games at various tournaments – my record against him is 0-4
Being the glutton for punishment that I am I accepted his challenge. On the proviso that I get the Germans. Darren did not hesitate.
My purchase for the first date was 2 Rifle Coy and Stukas . Fortunately for me both my given OB and my purchased were Full strength. So I start the Campaign with 48 squads and 3 tanks.
When it was time to roll for my Stukas I got them on my first try and I got 3.
By the end of the first date I had 3 wrecks, the Stuka really did no good and I had lost 21 squads and 5 leaders. The only really saving grace was that I had (in my humble opinion) gained a fair amount of terrain. I think that I had eliminated 18 Russian squad but no leaders
The Second day had me purchase 1 Rife Coy and 1 Sturm Rifle Coy (both Full) and Stukas. This time I only got 1 Stuka but it did a good job in showing that most of the Russian concealment counter in the Commissar’s House were just that Concealment Counters. By midway through this date my Sniper had been eliminated.
This date saw the Germans push in the L14 factory and near the end be summarily ejected by the Russians. I did push hard into O10 factory and forced the Russian out past the midway point
I was also able to capture part of the Commissars house in BB18 and both fortified levels in BB18
My slight foray to play in the Volga was beaten back but I did get to DD6 in the East and A24 in the
West.
On Oct 19th I felt that I needed to really make a big attack on the next CG date. With my on-board forces and the time that it may have taken me to get my purchased forces in place, I decide to take a chance that Darren would spend points to put squads on the board and not call an Attack of his own – I was correct and we start next on Oct 20th with another German attack. My purchase for the day will be posted after the day is played
