Greetings ASL Fans;
The Red Barricades Project met yesterday with a full compliment of commanders: Dan Plachta, Stephan Tourville and Mike Cirrincione leading the Germans against me, Henry DeVries and newcomer Jim Cotugno commanding the Reds.
We completed the opening 10-17-42 scenario, AKA “The CG date that wouldn’t end†when it went out to the full 8 turns. When the board was cleared, the front line ran from the CC3 gully up to the rubble in U6, across to a toe-hold in the O6 factory, to a toe-hold in the L10 factory and diagonally up to the B13 building. The final casualty count was a total of 35.5 squads; 14.5 German squads v 21 Russian; fairly light considering the length of the scenario.
From the Russian perspective, we felt we’d turned in a pretty good performance considering the length of the CG date (we lost 5 squads and a 45L Gun on the German half of turn
and the fact that we got a total of one fire mission from our two OBA modules (one module was retained.) Plus we retained all of our leaders but one.I’m pleased to report that The Red Barricades Project is turning out to be exactly what we hoped it would be. If we continue to attract more players, we have the space and equipment to set up a second CG game (yes, I really do have that many counters.)
Remember, the O.C. Game Day at The Realm is on hiatus; there will be no meeting next Saturday. Our next Club event will be West Coast Melee XIV to following week. I’ll see you there!
