[Arontje]

Good luck both of you.

If you want I am willing to post the armies of you two when you send it to me.

And in case you find it annoying that I posted here, then I will delete the message.

OE, good luck going against one of the best gamers here. You gonna need it.

Dont shoot the way like I did in one of our turns, use LIVE ammo ;)

[OE_]

Thanks! I do feel I need the luck. I have already sent my army to him, but thank you for the offer.

I enjoyed our matchup and I wish you good luck in your next match.

I've supplied the ary I sent onto the battlefield with plenty of ammo. And not blanks, like you used half of the rounds ;)

[tragicmishap]

Ok. I sent you my army. Don't worry I didn't look at yours before :). Anyway, it'll be an interesting game. Never seen an army like yours before.

[OE_]

Tragicmishap:
8X SS-PG
Arisaka
Imp Sgt
Brummbar
Werm Sniper
SS-Haup
Grizzled Vet

vs.

OE:
3 X Polish Cavalrymen (=12)
2 X PPSh-41 SMG (=6)
2 X Soviet Grenadiers (=8)
1 X Cossack Cavalrymen (=4)
1 X Fanatical Sniper (=8)
1 X Hero of the Soviet Union (=8)
1 X Cossack Captain (=9)
1 X BM-13 Katyusha Rocket Launcher (=12)
1 X KV-1 (=32)
2 X Barbed Wire (=1)

Tragicmishap wins the coin toss and sets up on Able-Baker side. You can let me know where you want your troops and I'll put all troops in the map.

PS. I hope it is a good thing you never saw an army like mine?

[tragicmishap]

PS. I hope it is a good thing you never saw an army like mine?

I don't know. We'll see I guess. I do like the fact that I have a Brummbar in there against your KV-1. I'll be able to hit a transported unit with Blast.

You actually need to place your Barbed Wire first. Obstacles go before normal units.

[OE_]

Oh right. Sorry. I place them in the South East edges of hexes B7 and C7:

Your assault.

Everything else stays.

[OE_]

Ok, weekend's over. Let's get this show on the road!

Before I start shooting at your units:

1. Your SS-PG shooting at my cavalry only has 8 dice, you rolled 10.
2. Your SS-PGs moving from C6 to C7 have to make movement rolls in order to pass the Barbed Wire

[tragicmishap]

I'll reroll it when I get home. As for the movement. They are moving from C6-D6, not C7. There's no Barbed Wire preventing that.

I also forgot to do the facing on my Brummbar. It's facing C9, the hex with the Katyusha in it.

[tragicmishap]

Okay, I rerolled: 6/6/4/4/4/3/3/2 - destroyed.

[tragicmishap]

Actually, there are four there. AARRGGGH! I meant the two in D6 to move to C7, not D7. I'll change it.

The BB is not an ideal 'lone ranger' and those Heroes are just too easy to forget.

Initiative: 5/1+2=8

[tragicmishap]

Ah, dumb. I forgot to roll my initiative. I don't have any dice at work. I'll do it later.

So I was looking at a map of Skane and it looks like a great place. What's that huge lake right beside it?

[OE_]

Of the South and East coast of Skåne there is the Baltic sea (is called the East sea here), on the West there is the bridge between the cities Malmö and Copenhagen, which connects the countries Sweden and Denmark. North of that sea the water is called Kattegat and Skagerrak. To the West of Denmark it's called North Sea.
These are all salt water bodies connected to each other.
I moved to Skåne about a year ago, and I must say it is a nice place.
Did you take a look with Google-Earth? You can zoom in quite a bit on the place/area I live (Lund).

You're more than welcome to come and play A&AM in our local game store. :)

When I don't have dice I usually use this site:
http://www.irony.com/java/igedb/

No hurry. I have been enjoying our play-by-post. A shame we are coming toward the end (of my KV-1).

[tragicmishap]

Eh, maybe. I'll need some help from the dice. It's far from a sure thing. Sweden's a little far for me. I'm gonna go ahead and say that probably won't happen :). I'll check it out on google though.

ooh. Coming down to the wire. At least for me. I'm running out of options here.

CHARGE!!

GV Banzai Charges KV-1: 6/4/3/3/2/1/1/1 - miss. ouch.
dead PG same - 6/6/4/3/3/3/1 - miss

IS to C8
AR Banzai Charges HSU. I'm assuming you want to take the DF since there's no reason not to, but you should decide which hex it takes place in. The outcome of this will determine some other moves, so I'll have to wait until this is resolved.

[OE_]

Stay! Bad Arisaka, Stay!

I choose to do my def fire while AR is still in C8: 6/5/4/4/3/2/2/2/2: hit - face up disrupted marker on AR a he stays in C8.

Stay! Bad Arisaka, Stay!

I choose to do my def fire while AR is still in C8: 6/5/4/4/3/2/2/2/2: hit - face up disrupted marker on AR a he stays in C8.

He can make a cover roll. If he succeeds then the little fellow may still move. I love doing provoking defensive fire in cover, still 50% chance of not being openly disrupted.

[OE_]

Yeah, that's right. You can roll the cover yourself, I'll check the result tomorrow

[tragicmishap]

cover roll for AR: 5. So now the AR is Banzai Charging the HSU:

6/6/6/5/5/5/3/3/3/2/1/1 - destroyed. No cover roll. You can roll for Endurance.

[tragicmishap]

oh man. At this point I'm willing to concede, but let's play it out anyway. At least I won't get KOed. After I lost the Brummbar you were in control. You played very well and I didn't get a couple rolls that I needed. Definitely a good game. You are an excellent player. We should play again sometime after the clan match.

[OE_]

Thank you for your compliments!

You're right, a couple of rolls my way decided this otherwise very close battle. I was afraid you would win initiative last round and get me with the Headshot-banzai combination. In my opinion that roll decided the outcome of this match.
As I expected, you are very tough to beat, and I feel lucky to escape with a win on points. I would be very interested in a rematch (after the clan match) against such a skilled player. Changes sides then? (I guess it'll be Rangers instead of SS-PGs next time around)
Of course we can play it out, it's your turn for initiative roll.

[tragicmishap]

You go first.

HSU will only use defensive fire on WES, you are free to move all other units without provoking defensive fire from him. If you move WES, HSU will use defensive fire before WES moves out of hex

Have mercy on a poor old man! The game is yours. There is no reason for the suffering to cont...AAAAHHHHHH!

[zkraut]

Sorry to intrude... But tragic!? Your giving up!? I think you can continue this fight! It has really been interesting lately!

[tragicmishap]

This is turn 10. All that's left is his assault, then the game's over. He has more points than I do. I was sort of being sarcastic anyway. I fully expect him to do his assault phase.

[OE_]

A few rolls going my way decided this battle in my favor. Thanks for a great match, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yes. Good game. Congratulations to you. This is only the third time ever that I've lost an AAM game, in any variant.

Perhaps we could have another go after the clan match.
