September 5th Game Day AAR

Ok, it’s the Saturday before the Burning Wreck Barbecue, *and* its Labor Day weekend, but the September L.A. Game Day *still* managed to draw 12 Club members.

Eric Visnowski’s Brits defeated Mike Soffa’s Germans in a very close playing of “The Five Pound Prize”.

Stephan Tourville’s Poles battled Glenn Sellar’s Germans to mutual exhaustion (a draw) in “Into the Fray”.

Candice Juliano’s Brits defeated Mike Cirrincione’s Germans in the classic “Cold Crocodiles”.

My Germans beat Geoff Coward’s Americans in an extremely close playing of “WN 63” from Dispatches.

Dave Rosner’s Germans fell to Rob Stai’s Brits in that oldie but goodie “Hill of Death”.

Hank W.’s Germans defeated Dan Plachta’s Americans in “Speed Over Caution”.

Robert Hammond made a cameo appearance with copies of the new scenario pack “Into the Rubble 4”. It was nice to see Robert looking well after a long illness.

And of course we adjourned for our usual mid-afternoon lunch break for take-out pizza. As always, it was an enjoyable day for all. On a personal note, I want to compliment Geoff on a very well-played and exciting game. It was one of those games where, going into the final half-turn, Geoff and I shook hands and agreed that regardless of the outcome we were both winners; our game was ASL at its best.
