Games Played

Michael, Alex, Jim, Dave and Ben played Defenders of the Realm.  Chalk up another loss for the defenders.

Lionel and Dave played Tide of Iron.  Dave’s US forces made a successful assault on the not-that-heavily defended target zone in the intro scenario.  Lionel’s German defenders were outnumbered by the assaulting US squads and fell quickly.  This scenario may not have been overly balanced.
