That was indeed intense game. Todd's dices were really hot, while my machine guns went silent (for example 20 rolls, zero hits in one of the turns). Also, he did not hesitated and attacked boldly. My 3 recon cards gave me 3 VB, but thinking now, did not allow me to respond to events on board. Always some trade-off.

Would be really hard to win as British but I will do my best on Wednesday :)

Finals Round 2 - 007 - Loos (Renewed British Offensive) - 13-14 October 1915
plainscape (German): 2 Banners won; 23 figures lost
MichalK (British): 6 Banners won; 11 figures lost

When I was starting game I was sure nothing can save poor British. No man's land shelling almost avoided left section (closest to trenches) allowing passage only via central one. I started to build my hand for assault - long process, but finally with Assault Centre, Infantry Advance, Orders from HQ and Ambush in hand, I started. Very helpful was artillery shelling, although Todd's units partially recovered. Then we had some problem with rules (solved by dice roll in Todd favour) and some mistakes in HQ (against Todd favour :( ).

Of course, the Germans had their Machine Gun Barrage and rolled 0 hits on 12 dices (almost as good as I in first game - 1 hit on 20d). Then there was short supply which removed my bomber from standing close to brit his mortar, but Storm of Fire managed to finish weakened MG and finish the game.
Really tense and interesting game – big thanks to my opponent for organizing plays with such short notice and great play!
And here it is - first TGW tournament behind us. MT02 already planned - with as it seems more flexible scenarios and less trenches!

EDIT: And now witg log.

Congratulations, Michal.

My forces were no match for your might this time. But, hopefully there will be another!

While I still remember, just compiled couple of questions / remarks occuered during our final game:
  1. For tournament purposes, should we not agree to play with the same no man's shelling - at least in final and semi-final?
  2. Does Advance over the top allows to move after entering wire?
  3. The British forces are racing against time. The German player may take a Victory Medal, instead of taking two command cards, when playing a “Recon” command card. Does Germans get VB when playing COunterattack?

Thanks for answers / comments!

My first responses are
1. I think each playing is unique, and this is too much bother. None of the other die rolls in the game are equalised, why these ones? I want 8 hits on my Box barrage too! ;)
2. I say no, Wire stops movement
3. Yes, counterattack acts as the mirror of the card, not the actions.

So we played 2 correctly :)

And yes, 8 hits on box barrage will be a thing to remember :)

Congratulations, Michal and a big thank you to Mark who organised the tournament. This was my first experience of VASSAL and playing online and it was very enjoyable.
