Got in a Face to Face game of Fireball Forward at the Dragon's Lair game store in Fort Myers. An old standby scenario my son and I have played a few times before. It is good one so almost certainly will play again.
 |
| The setup. The German Panthers come on at the road at the bottom. The German infantry within 6" of the road. Points are scored for controlling the buildings, destroying Panthers, or getting Panthers off the board. |
 |
| End of turn 1 (of 5). The Germans come on with Infantry to scout ahead. A few Americans are spotted. Nobody is harmed in the first batch of fire. |
 |
| End of Turn 2. Germans move up into position, still nobody is hurt even with many more units opening fire. |
 |
| End of Turn 3. The Americans get crushed by fire this turn and the Germans hardly hurt. The first building is cleared out and a rampaging Panther finishes off some routed US squads by overrun (top right just beyond the building). Further to the right a Panther is destroyed by an M10. To the left of the building two M10s are destroyed with no loss to the Germans in a shootout over there. |
 |
| End of turn 4 and the game. The remaining US infantry on the left break and run. A Panther is shocked by a hit from an M10 while the other Panthers move up on the US infantry to clear out the building. On the Right 3 M10s and 2 Panthers trade a bunch of shots. The Panthers miss and the M10 rounds bounce off the front armor of the panthers even at close range. The one M10 that probably could have killed a Panther (since it was at point blank) missed it's shot. |
Ending result was a German win. A lot of lucky results on firing in the third turn along with almost all the M10 shots being no effect sealed the game. Could easily have gone the other way.
