We don't use the extended Rules as many haven't bought them and they are not available online. So, we stick to the original rules that everybody is familiar with: Use the AAM units database for units for which you don't have the cards. Alternatively you can use hordelings, bgg, or even better here. Notice that: The German SS-Panzergrenadiers and the American Ranger units cost 7, instead of 5. The Map for the first round (you deploy along the top and bottom hex row):

PM sent, ready to roll.

PM sent. This should be interesting. | ||
| The Mighty A |
What do you want to do about rolling for set up? | ||
| Cpt. John Miller |
High roll chooses side and sets up.
Setup Roll Rolls: (2d6)  
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
You will probably win the setup roll. You can also choose to defer if you do. | ||
| NeuralDream |
Gentlemen, good luck  .
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Whoever wins the setup roll chooses side or defers(most likely you).
The player who chooses side places obstacles. Then the other player places obstacles. Then the first player sets up. Then the second player sets up. Then we roll initiative. Cool? |
||
| The Mighty A |
Sounds cool.
Roll for setup: Rolls: (2d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
I will setup first and choose the bottom row (K row).

That's cool. So your T-34 is in F7.
My assault Vickers is feeling shy, so he will stay put. My T-34 will shoot at your T-34 at medium range Rolls: (11d6) 
|
||

Disrupted and Damaged. | ||
| Cpt. John Miller |
sorry I haven't done my movement yet,

||
| The Mighty A |
No problem. I got excited because your tank was in the clear and I could see it. So, I shot at it.
In that case, my T-34 will make a backward advance to K10. Vickers stands as I said. My initiative roll stays as is. |

Your Assault Phase. Your Para is intimidated by my Cossack Captain and only hits on 5s and 6s. |
||
| The Mighty A |

|
||
| The Mighty A |
As long as my attack rolls are good, I couldn't care less about my initiative rolls (which is a good thing with my initiative rolls  ).
Everything stays put. |
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Me too, shoot. 
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Still intimidated, my paratrooper shoots at the Char.
Rolls: (8d6)
|

|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
I don't think I can win but let's play it out just for fun.
You can repeat the process. |
||
| The Mighty A |
All right so my people stay put.
Paratrooper at Char: Rolls: (8d6)

|
||

You realize that we will finish our game before anyone else starts? | ||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Char:
Rolls: (7d6)
T-34: Rolls: (7d6)
Minefields to G12 and F13(I almost forgot these, wouldn't be the first time) As for finishing early, I ended my first round the same way, I guess I just love this game too much. By the way, nice choice of build construct. I just HAD to miss that movement roll!
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Yay! Disrupted Para!
Initiative turn 7: Rolls: (2d6) +2
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Do I go first? | ||
| Cpt. John Miller |
I will go first this time or you will win on points, and we can't have that! 
T-34 to F7. Your move. |
||
| The Mighty A |
Remember point decision is not made until the end of turn 10. If the objective is contested by both players at the end of turn 7 we play until turn 10 checking at the end of each turn to see if anybody controls the objective.
If you decide you want to go second that is fine. Otherwise, my move: T-34 to objective space Defiant2 and Defiant3 to G10 Vickers to H11 |
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
That's what I meant, really I did!
Char on guess who: Rolls: (7d6)
T-34 on his twin brother: Rolls: (13d6)
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Doubled up your Tank so face down destroyed! That's huge!
Redisrupted your Para 1! Maybe too little too late though. |
||
| The Mighty A |
Bummer.

|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
You go. | ||
| The Mighty A |
with 20/20 hindsight, I see the move that I should have made on turn 6. Would you like to go back and let me make it?
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
As if. 
|
||
| The Mighty A |
I hate to say this, but you are wrong. Your Char did not disrupt my paratrooper. It killed it (my paratrooper was disrupted). I know you must be heartbroken over this mistake.
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Vickers stays put
Paratroopers to space with your T-34 |
