Great Battles of the American Revolution: Germantown second game day

 Played turns 4 and half of turn 5 (lots going on) in 3 hours today.  The Redcoats are on the backfoot.

The Rebels manage to capture a BUNCH of Redcoats by bad play on my part.  With a need to get 7vp just to get a draw (and not let the Rebels get any more VP even for that) I concede the game.  We made a few mistakes along the way rules wise but my tactical mistakes are what cost the game.  Tried to fight too far forward and that allowed units to get cut off and captured.  Asked for a restart and with more attention to detail (Run Away! Run Away!) in the early game it should be a more interesting contest.

ASL 244: Château De Quesnoy

 Just a quick note that I played this today.  Tycho is most likely going to kick my can.  This is the start of Allied turn 3 and the Germans have ONLY(!?) 12 turns left to take the big building.  They can only take 59CVP as well but I think they are well on their way to a win.  If you want to play a big honking scenario this is the one.
