Sometimes ASL is so flukey. I played FrF85 Junkers Junkyard winning because of one twist of fate. My friend played an excellent game as the Dutch but sometimes you can't overcome what fate offers. He quickly enveloped the overlay building by rolling snakes right out of the box to KIA one of my half squads. Moving the bulk of his force up forced me to skulk the other 1/2 squad back to the 9-1/5-4-8/MMG group in the rear building. I figured they'd hold for a turn or two or at least extract a pound of flesh along the way. The Dutch deftly moved a HMG behind a hedge to flank the building, rolled some sort of MC, and I promptly rolled two 12s in a row after the leader passed. The floodgates were open and I was on the ropes. I tried an ill advised FPF shot with another squad, rolled a 10, and lost him to FTR. If I lost the lone preassigned trench, I most likely would have succumbed to sheer numbers. Defending it was a squad and a MTR toting 1/2 squad. Here's where it got flukey - as if rolling two 12s in a row wasn't enough! The Dutch broke the 1/2 squad but the full squad survived. In the Dutch DFPh, my 1/2 squad, whom I kept in the trench, died by failing yet another MC. The full squad survived unscathed and picked up the now unpossesed MTR in the ensuing RPh. He then went on a serious rate tear with it as the Dutch came charging after him. Breaks and pins stopped the momentum and the rear area was secured. Had I not "lucked out" and lost that 1/2 squad, allowing the remaining squad to recover its now abandoned MTR, with two and 1/2 turns remaining, I have no doubt that the Dutch would have taken out the trench and streamed past it with enough force to probably break at least one of the two squads I had left next to the runway (I had one more that was far away from the battle due to constant routing earlier in the game). Fun for both sides but a bitter loss for the Dutch. No one outplayed each other, it just came down to one of those random things that makes ASL so exciting - and unpredictable. Recommended for either side but a little tough on the Dutch. Having to break almost all the Germans to win isn't that easy.
