Just finished a cracking game with my long term VASSAL opponent Ian. We try to get together once a week for a couple of hours or so using VASL and Skype.
This was the situation on the final Canadian turn. I was the Canadian player and had to ensure that there were no good order German MMC on or East of hexrow P.
the mmg in the road is manned by an SMC who single handed succeeded in breaking 3 of my squads last turn, 2 of whom were in stone buildings and one who was 9 morale fanatic. They are in the black circled location.
Under the German 9-1 is an mmg and a 4-6-8. The German lmg is manned by a 4-3-6
The melee is between a broken Canadian HS and a prisoner squad.
the German unit in R4 is broken
There is a real unit in P0.
During the Rally phase none of the broken units rallied.
Prep fire.
The Sherman in U3 smokes R1.
The following shot is taken at the start of the CC phase
The broken HS in melee was eliminated during a 1 sniper attack, the prisoner automatically rearmed. 4 CC attacks to resolve. on the 3rd the 4-3-6 rolled snakes after the Canadian squad failed to get any result. We rolled the 4th just see what the result would have been and it was a melee.
A win for German, 4 or less would have done it. But what a final move to get my units into a position to contest all the remaining German squads. I had a fortnight to think about how I could possibly manage it, without being annihilated, whilst Ian was on holiday. One of the most satisfying moves I have ever carried out in an ASL game. Cracking scenario.
Cheers
