Ken Young’s Germans won the day against Ed Beekman’s French in J183 A Real Barn Burner.
In a close, down to the last DR match that saw …
- A German turn 3 DFPh that rolled 3 boxes on 6 rolls. Resulting in 2 broken LMG and a broken ATG.
- A last turn snakes while laying a fire lane which removed the target but cowered the shot, negating the fire lane.
- A German sniper attack that pinned a French MMC that could have won the game in the last MPh.
- And most importantly the best show of sportsmanship, that I have seen in years. When Ed move his last stack towards victory. I intensive fired my ATG, securing a hit but with no effect. Seeing no other shots that I could take to prevent his units getting adjacent to the Victory Building. Than could have advanced in for the win. I conceded the game. But Ed pointed out a pinned 247 under a wall advantage counter, that was unmarked. He allowed to take the 1 down 2 shot. A DR of 3, wounded the leaded and pinned his MMC. Giving me the game.
Thanks Ed, may your next match be a victory. You deserve the win. And made a large deposit in the good karma bank.
