We just finished our game with Jay (FT171 Getting your bell rung) .
The game was balanced until turn 4 with moderate losses on both sides. But my germans found several panzerfaust and managed to burn 2 shermans that were trying to outflank them and the turn afte the British 9-2 rolled a 12 on a MC. It was a German win in a good and hard fought game. Thanks Jay.

Jay and I played J157 "Rage Against The Machine" as our 2nd round game.
The dice gave me the defending Germans, and they held on to 2 of the 3 VC objectives, winning the game for me.
The game went up and down; in turn 2 my 75L gun malfed on the first shot - aiming at a stationary ISU 122's rear end
and Jays 9-1 Battle Hardened to a 9-2 on a 2+0 IFt shot - but in the next two turn's my conscripts behaved like supermen, killing 3 russian squads in CC creating two 8-1 leaders and eliminated 1 more for FtR. I had a 467 in a Stone Builing (42D5) who held out until German turn 4, delaying Jays main attack into the 3a village.
The bridge was firmly in Jays hands in turn 5, and I held the Crossroads - so the endgame evolved around the Headquater Building; 3a M8. Jay threw everything against my defenders, overrunning, freezing, placing DC's and Bounding Fired his remaining tanks.... but an 8-1 Leader on First Level remained untouched, and we stopped the game before resolving the CC's at each Ground Level locations.
A fun and exciting game, with a well played attack by Jay - ASL when it is best

DM? Chuck H2O in his face
Rich Domovic's North Koreans defeated Brian Wiersma's South Koreans in J218 - A Promotion Fight.
My sniper took out one of his 8-1 leaders on an early turn one shot to set the tone.
It unfolded as a strange game. My North Koreans shot as if cross-eyed, his South Koreans could not pass a MC.
Luckily for me, the HTH CCs went very well, causing VC casualties to mount into the mid teens, which made me the winner.

I'm glad I rechecked this, I thought it was 11 July and was starting to panic.

With Rich we will finish our game Wednesday at the latest. Is it possible to extend the deadline by 2-3 days (always hard to arrange game during the summer especially with a 7 hours time difference between us). Lionel

We just finished our game. With Rich, we played J70 Just an illusion. My French prevailed after a hard fought game against Rich's Thais.
It is always a pleasure to play with Rich, thanks for the game. Lionel

That's the email address in my system. Did you receive an email for round 3? If I just send you an email again, results will probably not vary.
Some email providers consider me a spammer because I send a lot of email over a very short time, and they all contain "suspicious looking" links - check your spam folder and ask your email provider to whitelist me.

I checked my spam folder. I had just deleted a bunch of spam before I saw that you had sent out the round 4 info. I may have inadvertently deleted your email. Please send again.

When does round 4 end?
After this round's game is completed I wish to withdraw from the league as I find the lack of responsiveness unacceptable. It should not take multiple emails and weeks of waiting to get a single game completed, much less to even get started.

Round 4 ends 27 October.
The VASLeague is a slow paced league, you have 8+ weeks to complete one game, and many players need that time. Busy schedules and different time zones make it difficult to arrange games. So multiple weeks to complete a game is to be expected.
But I also expect players to respond to their opponents in a relatively timely manner. Not getting a response is frustrating. Even a quick email with "I'm busy right now, I'll respond next week" helps.
Send me an email and I'll remove you from next year's league.
