Congratulations to Nicholas Gyore for winning Second Place, and a Premium Loth Medium Panzer Walker, at the Regional event in Olympia last weekend!! A great representation of our small, but dominating presence in the DUST World!
Our return to league play found us without a Local Gaming Store!! Knightfall Games in Beaverton has closed it's doors. Many thanks to Christopher Slovick for being such a great host and providing the birthplace for the PDX Dust League. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
Additionally we were short a player, but were still able to get 3 games completed in 3 hours at Red Castle Games in SE Portland. We hope that this will be a new home for our league. The staff are very accommodating and the store supports a great diversity of gaming.

Once again turn 3 is where the action began and the Allies took heavy losses. The BBQ Rangers, OZZ and his Grim Reapers, the Mickey, and a squad of Recon Boys all fell. The Axis player was able to figure out the Allied strategy and struck quickly with devastating results. Granted the Allies did score a great amount of damage in return, but just not enough to eliminate enough units and punch a hole in the defensive line. The Allies made a bold move in Turn 3 and positioned Priest and his BBQ Squad in position to potentially eliminate 2 full squads of Axis units. After winning the turn 4 initiative the Allied player struck and was able to eliminate a squad of Zombies, severely damage Grenadier X, and fully eliminate Manfred and his Recon Grenadiers. Lara and her Heavy Recon Grenadiers retaliated and split their fire to eliminate Priest and his BBQ Squad as well as the second squad of Recon Boys. Turn 5 saw a little Allied revenge in the form of the elimination of the second squad of Recon Grenadiers before the Corps Officers and Bazooka Joe met their end. This was actually a great game and even though it looks like the Axis just walked over the Allies it actually played out in a completely different way. The Axis took enough damage in round 3 to cause concern and a little doubt on who might win the scenario. If just one or two dice fell differently for the Allies the game would have gone a completely different direction. One of the aspects that I absolutely love about this game!

This is a difficult battle for an Attacker to win. The objective was to escape units of the Defenders side of the board, however the Defender has excellent placement options to counter the Attackers progress. The is very little cover for the Attacker to use on their approach and the only cover elements available to place are 2 Ammo Crates. The Attacker gains points for kills and double points for escaping a unit, which can allow for massive points provided the Attacker has units that not only score kills, but also have the survivability to escape the map.
The action was off to a quick start as a Mickey was able to eliminate the Axis Gorillas and severely wound Markus in the first turn. Turn 2 saw a quick end to OZZ and his Grim Reapers at the Hands of Totenmeister and her undead soldiers. The Allies were able to counter with a quick attack from a Mickey to finish off Markus and wear down Manfred and his Recon Grenadiers. By the end of turn 2 the Allies were able to finish off Manfred and his Recon Grenadiers, eliminate a squad of Zombies, wound Totenmeister, and score some wounds on Grenadier X and his Zombies, who were hiding in a smoke mortar cloud to avoid fire from the Mickey's and Wildfire. Turn 3 was the bloodiest of the scenario with the Axis loosing their Sniper Grenadiers, Totenmeister, the solo Recon Grenadiers, the Beobachters, Lara, and Grenadier X along with his undead soldiers. The Axis spent turns 4 and 5 attempting to advance towards the objective tiles, while the Allies were positioning to finish off the remaining Axis units. The Axis were able to eliminate a Wildfire in Turn 6, but the Allies were able to counter and finish off the Heavy Recon Grenadiers and Heavy Kommandotrupp to gain the victory.
