ASL Action Pack 108: Yes Sir!

 Just played this one with Tycho and there is something funny with the Random.org dice roller too!


The US has six turns to capture 3 of the buildings in the red lined area.  Germans get 2 Squad Eqvuialents HIP.  I choose Half Squads and a squad with an LMG and another with a Shreck.  One more hanging out in the grain to be a nuisance too.

Second shot and first blood.  The US armor leader's tank is CE and promptly gets stunned for it.  Adding insult to injury the LMG got rate.

Next is a 2-2 shot and I roll a 1,2 while laying down a Firelane.  The SSR for the US having 10ML on turn 1 is not helping them since they just die.

End of US turn 1.  By the end a SNiper popped the US leader and two squads were KIA.  The scond one was from a 2-2 shot where I rolled snakes ending up a 0 on the 1 table.  The US return fire only resulted in a MC for the Germans that got one leader pinned and also caused the Sniper Check that killed the 9-1 leader.
End of German turn 1.  The German MMG and leader wounded the US 9-1 leader and fire from the gun (or the MMG again) broke the squad under the one tank.  The 238 shot at a US squad and leader and broke both of them too.  When they routed I revealed 238 in the grain, maybe should have waited and got them in CC but with the dice roller shining on me today it didn't matter.
First shot of German Defensive Fire Phase in US turn 2 and game over.  First shot is another 4fp shot where I rolled a 1,2 breaking another US squad.  At this point they were down to 2 unbroken squads and 5 total versus an unharmed German side (8 squads).  The tanks never got smoke and the Germans only suffered a single Pin result (maybe a second when it didn't matter, during a US Advancing fire phase).  

 

The VASL die roller gets slammed a lot (I'm one of the slammers) for odd streaks - this is the third game in a row where Random.orgs results have been consistently high for one side and consistently low for the other.  In this case low (very low) for me and high (very high) for Tycho.  Perhaps it is time to use a camera focused on a dice glass...
