The Ladder had forty-nine completed games for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Twenty-four Squad Leader, Twenty Cross of Iron, four Crescendo of Doom and one G.I.: Anvil of Victory games were reported. Scenarios included ‘The Streets of Stalingrad’ (6), ‘Counterattack on the Vistula’ (4, a play along for the 2018 SQLA tournament), ‘Rehearsal for Crete’ (2) and ‘A Belated Christmas’. Pete Pollard’s Mortain Campaign also received a play-through..

Twenty-two of the games were recorded by Jack Munchkin and Chacal and included their games since they started playing last year. Thank you both for reporting them to the Ladder.
