OT2021 Round 2

Game 2
EZPickins (Allies)  6 banners
Kandras78 (French)  3 banners

Most of the action took place on the French right flank. Andras with help from the center pushed my Allies back but had difficulty getting kills. I was able to shift some cavalry from my.  own center and counterattack forcing the French back and getting five banners in the process. He had some success in the center trying to battle back but didn't pull it off. It was closer  than the score indicates and I had some good luck and timely cards. Andras did a great job with what he had.

Thank you sou1st for the forfeit and points. I would have liked to play the round, even just for the experience.
I hope to get a chance to play you in the future. Cheers.

OT2021 round 2 - Lindenau

Mike (scipio1zama) – French – 6 banners

Danill (FoxK) – Allies – 4 banners

There were three phases to this game (played on October 24.).

Phase 1 - Early fighting saw each side lose 2 LN on the left side of the board. This consumed 13 turns (1-13).

Phase 2 – Maneuver and cutting units down in size. No units were lost (except a Cossack.) This consumed 12 turns (14-25).

Phase 3 – Destroying weakened units, mostly in the center. This took just 3 turns.

Turn 26 – a French LC destroyed a 1-block Austrian FA and a 2-block Austrian LC.

Turn 27 – an Austrian inf unit in square destroyed a French 1-block HC via melee; an Austrian LN destroyed a 1-block French LT in the town of Leutzsch with ranged fire; an Austrian LC was destroyed by a French LC during a battle back (and an Austrian leader ran off the board.)

Turn 28 – A French Take Command Left card was used to order a single LC in the center to attack a 1-block Austrian GRZ in square. The GRZ didn’t get the Bounce Flag – and the LC’s one die was a blue infantry symbol which produced the sixth banner and the win.

A long, tight, tense game against a worthy opponent – you can’t ask for more than that.

 

Someone please tell my why this #%&!!@$ messaging system won't show my message with the spacing as I originally wrote it up, instead of taking out all my original paragraph spacing and making it much harder to read. I had the spaces between lines in there for a reason.

To RiverWanderer - thanks for the tip - Edit seems to have worked.

Seems to be a bug with edit. Editing again to put the white space back usually fixes the post but is frustrating nonetheless.  

Two games a month is not an overly burdensome schedule. People just need to respond to messages in a timely way, and manage time better.

OT2021 round 2 - Lindenau Game 1

Jim Fardette – French – 4 banners (25 losses)

Steve – Allies – 6 banners (20 losses)

Unable to get out of their own way, the French stumbled forwards only to be mowed down by counterattacking Austrians. An Allied victory that wasn't as close as the final score. French received 4 reinforcements during the game, 3 infantry and 1 light infantry.

Jim Fardette – Allies - 6 banners (32 losses)

Steve – French – 5 banners (27 losses)

A very seesaw affair, with Steve's French missing a single die 50-50 roll to end the game against a lone block along the back row, then the Austrians finishing with a line command against a HC & Leader who had strayed too far forward and into a town they could not effectively attack out of and were surrounded. The loss of the cavalry and leader in the subsequent attacks decided the fight for the Austrians. French received 6 reinforcements during the game, including 1 heavy cavalry, 1 foot artillery, 3 infantry and 1 light infantry.

If someone can help me out, I can't seem to figure out how to attach the log files.

OT2021 round 2 - Lindenau Game 1

Burnabybob (Allies): 1 banner 
Giulio (French): 6 banners

This game was mainly decided by the French cavalry action in the center. One French cavalry unit was lost but the Austrians lost 4 units and one leader. As the French player, I enjoyed a constant flow of reinforcements.

Longer game. I tried to start aggressive with the Austrian but the combined warfare in the center-right did not work well. I was behind two medals but I had a card in my sleeve... when the French advanced on the left they succumbed to a tremendous stationary fire. This changed the flow of the game and the Austrians retook the initiative. My opponent received minimal support from reinforcements. Good units overall but they arrived late.
