We've only got one turn most likely left, I'll hold on the pictures until than.
Interesting observations from my POV.
Everytime I try something he gets the exact roll he needs. He did roll a bunch of 12s today but boo-hoo, one of 3 planes went home...
I moved up a concealed 37* inf gun that he didn't know about (advantage of only playing on weekends) but had to assemble it in the final fire phase. No problem right? all his mortars either prepped or didn't fire.
OK one that didn't fire rolls the 5 (with rate just in case) to hit in the advance fire phase and than rolls 1,1 to kill him outright......
All I wanted was ONE Prep fire shot at the loaded trucks with all the pontoons... but noooooo that's too much to ask!!
I have a few more guys that are one hex back from the ridge contemplating their existence and if they should try even concealed to do anything.....
But right now the planes have them all stymied in place pretty much anyway....
Given that I annihilated most of his boats and he still has tons of guys across and I've lost outright too many guys trying to challenge the rest of the crossing I'm depressed about my chances... not sure how to balance the French rear defense vs. the river defense.
Anyone who has played me knows I don't see the "solution" from looking at the card. I would definitely do things different but this is a struggle.
If the German doesn't buy all the Mortars they can and get them setup on level 3 they are missing out. They are ridiculous. I should have maybe counter battery fired and once I had the SR near one of them and probably should have dropped it on him (would have interdicted the back alleys too...)
Oh well... it is up and down and something new to play.
