Overview:

In the opening phase of OPERATION MARTLET, Company D of the Hallamshire Battalion was to occupy positions on Phase Line Queen, otherwise known as the River Bordel, on the western most section of Fontenay. The company advanced through heavy mist and established positions near the river. The battalion’s 6-Pounder anti-tank guns had not been in position long before the inevitable German counterattack started. The commanding general had offered a £5 prize for the first Panther tank knocked out.

2024-06-14(A) Mark Thompson vs Herbert Heyman German (SS) winSave for three forward squads in victory buildings P9 and X8, the British favored rearward defense, positioning the AT Guns in J2 and L3. The German plan - which envisioned entering from the South, seizing and holding the Southern 8 Buildings (P9, N8, P7, X8, W9, V6, U7, and U6), and forcing the British to counteract - worked seamlessly due to VERY opportune DRs.
2022-08-05(A) Stephen dedier vs Eban Johnson British winI came on and pushed through the British defense completely on the West side of the stream. Managed to have my tanks avoid his AT guns but the infantry took significant damage from the constant 2 flat shots.
Germans used smoke heavily to take the last building by turn 3 and hold it into turn 4.
British got into CC with a tank freezing the infantry from shooting. Germans managed to roll a 6 with the Brits a 1 on the ambush and the Brits took the building back.
Fun scenario and any one that comes to the last CC is a must play.
2022-06-18(D) John Garlic vs Paul Works British win[Imported from ROAR]
2022-06-18(A) Paul Works vs John Garlic British winJohn's always a tough opponent. His very well-placed 57L AT Gun really inhibited my tank maneuver. I had a slight chance on the last turn to get into a needed building by covering my infantry charge with smoke, but... to no avail.
2021-02-01(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dave Mareske British winI expected to lose this one and I did. Thirty seconds into Turn 1 movement phase and my first MKIV was knocked out in a bore sight hex. It was downhill from there. British swarmed onto my flanks and that was all she wrote. It’s a fun scenario, but unforgiving if you take too much damage early.
