Overview:

VASL setup under User Files. . . . Following the spectacular success of the parachute drop on the fortress of Eben Emael, it was feared the Germans would attempt a similar raid to seize Queen Wilhelmina, infant crown Princess Beatrix, and other members of the Dutch Royal Family. Fearing the Germans would strike at any moment, it was decided to move the Royal Family from Huis ten Bosch Palace to the Palace of Noordeinde deep in the Hague. Dutch fears were well founded, as an elite element of the 22nd Luftlande Division had been brought in to stage such a raid. The mission had been well prepared, with accurate maps and up to date intelligence information regarding the Queen's movements. The raid was scrubbed however when the Ju-52s carrying the group crashed during landing.
Attacker: German (Special Raid Detachment, Grenadier Regiment 16)

2023-07-04(A) Shane Pask vs Dutch winLast time I played this it was close. This time not at all. The Dutch 9-2 killed the German 10-2 turn 1, the 10-3 turn 2 and the 9-2 on turn 4. The reinforcements arrived on turn 5 and the Germans conceded with just the 9-1 and 2 squads (no MG) facing 4 leaders, 6 LMG and 14 squads. The Royal family was never revealed.
2015-10-22(A) Martí Cabré vs Eoin Corrigan Dutch winI assaulted frontally against the Dutch positions with some success. I got adjacent to the Royal Family and the Dutch had to go back in a hurry, but then the Dutch reinforcements appeared on the first possible turn and screened the Royal Family quite well. I used my higher morale units to risk some deadly fire with mixed success, but then I missed some CC attacks that made me lose initiative. The Dutch took away the Queen leaving many squads behind to protect her and I was unable to get across the troops on open ground. I guess once the opportunity was lost in the second turn and the reinforcements arrived it was really hard to get a success.
