Battle of Ortona

[Monsoeren]

Games finished:

Gort (Allies) vs Monsoeren (Germans) - Germans win
Arctic (Allies) vs Monsoeren (Germans) - Germans win

Thank you gents.

Am just about to finish my last game with Gort and my last game in this little tourny. It is extremely close and can really go either way. Stay tuned for the result quite soon I think.

Mansoeren, you're on a roll in Ortona!!

kingt I'm sure you would be, but based off of your good idea does anyone else have an interest in opening up a Husky tourney when this one is completed?

I'd be interested in the Ambush scenario.

[Monsoeren]

Game finished:

Gort (Germans) vs Monsoeren (Allies)...................Allies win

Man, this was a close one. We had to go through at least ten rounds of flag capping with just a few units left each. At the end I had just a single scout unit left against a panther and an MG42. With zero turns remaining the agility of the scout defeated the raw power of the titans but what a fight! Gort, after our initial skirmishes I was ready to divide Ortona in two parts and live peacefully as neighbours. You completely halted my offense sir. Well done and great game.

[Monsoeren]

Mansoeren, you're on a roll in Ortona!!

Thanks GL and so it ends. However, at the time it was really uphill against Gort and too close to call. Absolutely nerve wrecking

Well spoken,.....you deserve the win,..even though it could have gone either way!

Thanks Gort and yes, it could have gone either way. I was fortunate to have infantry units left for the end game. While your Panther was a real pain during most of the game it wasn't worth much for capping flags on its own

Yes - I'd sign up for Husky.

[dickesKind]

Same here!

Game Finished: Reform (Allies) vs arcticpost (Germans) - Allies Win

Not even touch and go at the end, Reform beat me soundly with three superb final turns.

* And Reform, I would like to remind you that not only can I still send you to Siberia, but I'm more tempted than ever now.

And Monsoeren, the pride of Denmark, has taken the flag. Nice job sir. Three games still in progress and you can't be caught.

Also, in Scenario Design Amaris has updated his single player version of Ortona to use the Husky tiles and give it more of an Italian (Sicilian) look. Go take a look.

[Reform]

Congratulations and god aften Monsoeren - appreciate your time and effort 'teaching' me

[Monsoeren]

Godaften Reform and thanks. Believe me, the pleasure was all mine

So Husky it is? Count me in if there are still open slots.

[arcticpost]

Monsoeren, you're in. I'll add you in the Ambush thread.

[Monsoeren]

Thanks Arctic. Catch you in the other thread. Out.

[gortwillsaveus]

Games completed with Reform:

gortwillsaveus (Allies) vs Reform (Germans) - Allies Win
Reform (Allies) vs gortwillsaveus (Germans) - Allies Win

Once again,...I foolishly wasted my German troops and Reform took full advantage of my mistakes.
Good games Reform!

[Reform]

Gortwillsaveus I have really enjoyed crossing swords with you and you are both too kind to me and too tough on yourself. They were great games and having been taught by Mon, 88 and kingt (I still shudder at all those errors) I think I can honestly say that I fretted more playing you!

Artic (Comrade) you did enough simply by allowing JT to post himself as my 2-I-C and I have to keep him until we push the Germans back from Moscow? Too cruel of you. Again I cannot thank you enough for the games .... great play, and I'm awaiting your final go..........

[arcticpost]

Reform, too funny.

Our final game is pretty remarkable. I'll post later tonight.
