Rahamy and I have finished our first moves ... ces malheureux Francais!

On turn 6 now, chugging right along...

John and I have completed one match with my French forces getting a very hard fought minor win against the hard pressed Viet Minh.
We are commencing the reserve match now.

Kudos to John as very enjoyable opponent both on battlefield and banter in the emails as well

Great gaming experience

cheers Laz

Pretty impressive there Laza...so far my French have been getting hit pretty hard...

Interesting Rich, after initial onslaught my view is the French have the box seat in regards to Victory conditions.

Will watch with interest to see how results tally up

We're only on turn 7, so we'll see how things play out...the French are making progress in both games - but the initial losses were extremely high, at least for my froggies. ;-)

I picked this scenario for Round 2 based on a couple of factors. I first asked several veterans who have played a lot of DBP for some suggestions for scenarios. I then compiled that list and looked at some of the scenario data on the Blitz and GS, as well as looking at some of the games I've played. This one scored high having been chosen by at least 2 people as an interesting scenario and the score card being somewhat balanced so far in the PBEM games.

As always, it's not always easy to pick 100% balanced scenarios. I simply tried to pick solid ones that folks would like. We shall see.

Rich, keep in mind that you're playing a guy that has actually beaten Oz this year (one of three). Any difficulty you're running into might be for that very reason!
