Sorry for the delay! Ernie, Chuck, I have sent you the data.
(Somehow, I have un-watched this thread and didn't get notifications.)
What is the completion date of round 2? Need to know so we can pick an appropriate scenario...

Tom Repetti and Larry Rohlfing squared off in Jungle Rats AP206. Some initial confusion about the British entry area (errata was not errata but a mistaken errata, the card is correct) and the Japanese reinforcements (the river is out of play and the IJA can enter on the entire eastern edge including where there is water that doesn't exist).

Tom had the Brits and I had the IJA. The dice bot hated Tom and the fall back defense worked. The Brits inflicted casualties in turn 2 but the IJA are trading blood for buildings. The Brits tossed in the towel after rolling three 9's on a MC/1MC for the FT HS in the top of 3.

I can't blame bad luck here - I'm rusty and it showed. More importantly, Larry's fallback defense forced the Brits to keep attacking a forward wall, and I just couldn't inflict enough casualties to counter my own. The IJA reinforcements were going to tip the balance of power in his favor, and that's not a prescription for success.

So ultimately I don't know what the Brits are supposed to do here against that kind of defense. I read AARs where they just trashed the at-start Japanese and I suspect those Japanese were in stand-and-die mode.

All credit to Larry for coming up with a solid plan and executing it well. There were a few opportunities for the IJA to break off a squad here and there to execute local PITA counterattack, but he stayed the course and it eventually added up to Game Over before IJA turn 3.

That Dang Larry :)

Hi ! I couldn't get access to the VASLeague web site. My opponent (Neal Ekengren) has conceded due to time constraints... We were playing AP3 (A Breezeless Day). I was the German attacker. Please update our play on the site to reflect this.
Thanks, Ernie Cameron

Did anyone get their email for round 3? My system claims to have sent them, but I didn't get my own, not even in the spam folder.

I got mine too, in the end, as should most of you (with probably 2-3 exceptions).
I was able to narrow down the list of reasons quite a bit and hope that for the last round there won't be any problems - except the usual classification as spam for some of you. Tell your email provider to whitelist me to further alleviate the problem.

Also: Please use the reporting link to report your results! I got quite a few reports by email last round, and while it isn't a lot of work for me to add one individual result to the system, it adds up.

Calling Jason Wert: my email to you is bouncing - do you have an alternative address?
-Andy B

edit: (never mind, the radio contact roll has succeeded)

I didn't get one, nor did it go to spam (first time ever for this).
I saw some chatter and went to your site, found my opponent (Rich Domovic) and sent him a note
but haven't heard back yet. If he doesn't have the reporting link, we'll let you know.
