GCACW: McClellan's Opportunity

Played this over VASSAL yesterday with my normal FTF opponent.  Since I'm away for over a month it was the only way to get some game time in.  After getting VASSAL and Skype up and running we only had a couple hours of game time.  There are lots of counters to move around in this one too.

ASL Scenario DB 132: One Last Victory

Played this with Tycho on VASL - so disgusted with the VASL Dire (typo - but I'll keep it in the blog) roller that I conceeded at the end of turn 4 instead of finishing up.  8ML Germans almost always breaking or dying when attacked at 2-2 or 2-1 (and I HAD to take those types of attacks in order to get to the victory hexes in time - stopping for a firefight was not an option) while having 8 straight shots do squat against 6ML troops over half the time gets old after a bit.

Germans have to take at least one building in the Red shaded area to the left in addition to ten total buildings including another stone one IIRC.  By the end of turn 4 the Germans had only gotten to the leftmost stars and there was still a solid line of US troops in the way.  The stars on the right are where the first shots were fired and most of the Germans in those hexes broke or died.
