DFTB: Tournament sized suggestions?

[Will Fleming]

Hope that says it all. Looking for some good ones that play relatively quickly. Any "Dispatches from the Bunker" scenarios that you played and loved?

DB035 A Hotly Contested Crossroads
DB083 Block to Bataan
DB036 First Crack at Hellzapoppin' Ridge

 

[Carln0130]

Gin Drinkers for sure.
Task Force to Cotignac [DB080]German5American5 In my opinion, perhaps the best scenario Dispatches ever carried. A little beefy for a tournament offering , but I have played it and seen it played at tourneys. Can't give a scenario a higher grade. Joe did a great job with it.

Riding the Coattails [DB040]Polish27Slovak30 Another fine selection
Third RTR in the Rain of course
A Hotly Contested Crossroads [DB035]German24Russian27
Another good one.
Takin' Eibertingen [DB116]American7German7
Very small, perhaps too small, but quite well balanced.
Prescription for the Kommissar [DB122]German5Russian6
Balanced fight on the RB mapboard
Death on the Eismeer Strasse [DB124]Russian10German9
Off Beat fight, right size and well balanced.
The Krinkelterwald [DB135]German4American4
All infantry, tourney sized fight. Balance should be spot on.
Personally would not go with Marche as I think it has some balance issues, if this is under consideration for a tourney.

For discussion and anyone who uses this in the future, a buddy (and much better gamer than me), put forth these:

DB112 "And so it Begins"
DB115 "Mopping up Kobayashi"

I remember playing and liking both.

Gotta get these on our Sat list huh?

I'll second Streets of Kharkov- excellent scen and easily possible to see a human wave in that scen.

Oh yes .. picked that one and was demolished by a Grofaz at Siem Reap ..

Decent balance, but not sure how much fun it is for the Japanese. As I recall, this is the rare PTO fight where the Japanese might consider Hari Kiri. Not to be confused with the late Cubs announcer.

Is the scenario really that bad? Oh wait, maybe you mean for units, not for the player.

Every time I am paired up to play Bob Bendis or Gary Fortenberry, Hara-Kiri does come to mind as an honourable exit.

Well yeah. there's that. Lose more people out of the hobby that way.

Dying of cardiac arrest at ASLOK after a rate tear. What a sad outcome it would be. Is the hotel fitted with a defibrilator?

With evermore aging ASLers and their being insane about their equipment, this should soon become part of the 'standard kit'.
