Under the "They can't all be winners" label will have to go Race for the Meuse. The map is a work of art and the situation is interesting. The German attack through the Ardennes in 1940 instead of the Bulge battle in 44. The problem is the forces are too small in ASL terms to be interesting considering the map size. Basically two platoons on each side facing off on a single campaign map. Way too much ground to cover.

| Tycho had the Germans and I had the defending Belgians. Most of the forces for the entire first CG day are on the board, each of us had lost about 3 squads. All of the Belgian units are Half Squads and many of the German ones are as well. The Germans at the top got the worst of it, losing their leader early to a MTR shot (I think) while down below the Belgians got the worst of it overall. This is turn 6 and the Germans had just broken the 10-2 Belgian leader and HS with him (with a lousy 6+2 shot no less) and the 10-2 has nowhere to rout I think. By this point we were both bored of it anyway and called it. ASL was meant to handle slightly larger forces then a platoon vs a platoon in concrete buildings. Or maybe just not our thing. |
