Fireball Forward: Stiffening Resistance

 Played this one today with Jeff and my son.  The Brits did not get to the VC conditions in time (mainly due to my messing up the vehicle terrain crossings with hills not applying).  Germans were doing great till turn 4 when the Brits took out half of their force).

Overview at game end.  The Brits needed to get the two buildings at the bottom on the picture and needed another turn just to reach them.  The tank on the left could have made it off the board but would have needed to use an initiative chit to do so (they brits had one chit left and no chance to get more).

ASL 139: The Weigh in (Finish)

 One turn slaughter!  German tanks swarmed my defenses and I failed to use spray fire or cover all approaches with resid.  The resulting stroll finished off the Poles in one turn.  It didn't help that the Germans with those tanks rolled snakes to kill off the Polish 9-1 leader and HMG and then did the same to the other MMG.
