ASL 139: The Weigh In

 Played this one today up to turn 3.  Germans were cautious moving into position.  Three turns done.

ASL 138: Battle of Sabers (finish)

 Finished this one up (started on January 28).  MUCH more fun in the last two turns.

Turn 6 was fairly standard except for the fact that Heavy Rain started.  Shots were doing mostly nothing.  Only a single HS was broken and ran (Polish guy at the bottom)

Overview of turn 7.  Germans at the top probably should have tried to get into CC with a couple of the Poles but that would have required moving in the open (even with the rain that would be risky) and the Poles could break and run from CC...

Down to the wire.  The Germans (with the help and hindrance of the rain) manage to get three stacks into CC.  The 9-2 and squad with it were attacked in C9 and B8 and bad rolls meant no damage.  Return fire pinned the squad shooting at them.  In CC they got it down to a HS.  The 548 killed the squad it jumped into CC with.  The LMG toting squads (D6) managed to get ambush by the ATR toting Pole and the Poles decided to run away.  If the final CC phase (Polish) goes as expected the final Tally would be +7cvp for the Germans and they lose by 1.  I concede the game at this point since the Poles will not move into combat range otherwise.  A great ending to an otherwise kinda boring game.

Already have ASL 139 setup for next week.  LOTS of tanks versus lots of guns and a couple of tanks for the defenders.
