Open Tournament 2016 Quarter Final

tlangston28 v. Gonzo - QF Game 2

Gonzo (French) - 6 Banners
tlangston28 (Prussians) - 4 Banners



I have the log file here - Prussians couldn't break through anywhere. French luck bad early, Prussian luck bad late. Late Bayonet Charge for French almost sealed the deal and Prussian counter attack in center made it close. Final Attack center won it for French.

Good game and tournament - Thanks all for the good games and good luck the rest of the way.

Game 1
TLangston as French win 6-5 over Gonzo
Tight game with most of the action on the French left as the frequently healed Lt in the village gutted all the Prussian inf on that flank, never having a flag rolled against it. Final French cav charge killed an art and got final medal.
Game 2
Gonzo French over TLangston Prussians 6-4
Much closer than score. Early sniping on French left followed by a Prussian Cav charge against art got little. French bayonet charge in middle followed by elan put French up 5-2, but had several 1 pt units left when the Prussian Grenadiers joined the party. Prussians down 6-4 and pretty much guaranteed 2 banners the next turn. An inf forward leader card allowed French 1 pt LN and leader to pull up to 1 pt Prussian RI in woods and go for the 50-50 roll and got hit.
Excellent match and thanks to my opponent Tony. I am remodeling house and they broke pipes so Tony put up with a lot of distractions during the match.

French: sansmerci (5 banners)
Prussians: mantra (6 banners)
The long overdue matches finally were played. The match saw a lot of action in its earlier stages across the entire battle field with banners being matched evenly. In the middle game the French started to pull away with a lot of battle dice flying around the center and French left. The field was becoming very spent. In the last stage the banner count was 6-4 in the French favor and then is seemed the boys in blue lost all their momentum. The Prussians slowly started to erode the French unit base and were able to edge up the count to 6 even. A final Cavalry Charge gave the Prussians the win.

The game was well fought and very tense....the best way to play CCN.

Game 2
Fench : Mantra ( 2 banners)
Prussians: Sansmerci (6 banners)
Sorry for the delays getting these games in. We also had a 14 hour time difference too. The action was 90% on the French left with the Prussians slowly breaking down the French and taking the town Klein Gorshen. Atimely rally card and a reform tactics really helped the Prussians. A Prussian LT must have been targeted 15 times and took 8 hits to kill after rallies and reforms. A French bayonet charge got the two banners for Chris but the Prussians got the 6th banner with a CA9 attack. Thanks to Chris for a very intense 1st game, then the vassel dice did him in on the second game.

Do you have a log file from the second game? Having created this scenario, I love watching people play it

Game 1 was very exciting!

We both forgot to do it. I remembered with about 4 or 5 turns left so its just his bayonet charge and then my combined arms attack to get the 6th banner. The first one was the good one, had him 5 to 3 at one time but couldn't get cards or rolls to end it and he came back to win very intense game. Sorry

Tarheel,

Always delighted to hear that new Epic scenarios are on the cards. Has anybody contemplated an epic Rolica scenario?
