Overview:

The British Expeditionary Force was retreating across Belgium. The 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards reinforced by 18-pounder field guns served as a rear guard, deployed through the outskirts of Brussels. At noon German armored cars, motorcycle troops and a self-propelled gun raced past two tank troops and gained a road in the British rear area. The British cavalrymen found that the enemy was all around and now between them and their supporting artillery. . .

2022-11-05(D) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker German winTough scenario! Not in terms of balance, but for tactics and timings.

The British had a great start clearing out the initial town but it just felt like there were too many options for the Germans to exploit.- primarily due to my poor positioning to defend against them.

Good scenario but not one I’d be in a rush to play again.

2016-03-27(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs British win
2015-10-06(D) David Yllanes vs John Bays British winThis is a very original scenario, with both sides attacking and interesting forces selection. I lost too many tanks at the beginning to MG fire and it took me a while to understand what I wanted to do. I definitely want to replay this one.
2015-05-15(D) Michael Rodgers vs Will Willow German winI lost a tank in bidding for the British. Don't do that; play straight up. Will brought the reinforcements in slowly, including pushing a 37 onto the board. The on-board Germans gave the British a lot of trouble before going down. The Brits had some malfunctions and repairs. After five turns, it was obvious the Germans would win.
2015-05-11(D) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque British winBrits sent 5 carriers and one tank after the Germans on board, leaving 4 tanks and 2 ATR carriers to block the reinforcements. Smoke helped the Brits take on the Germans on board, but there were still a lot of infantry losses. After three turns of play, the German player felt he had too many losses to win.
2015-05-04(D) Will Willow vs David Lamb German winFTF
2015-04-13(A) Andy Beaton vs Jordan Kehrer German winGermans got a foothold in the woods on the edge of the victory area while their original on board force was being slaughtered. From there, lucky dice allowed the Germans to kill off the British trying to dislodge them.
2014-12-30(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wilson German win
2014-10-08(D) Kevin Killeen vs Derek Cox German winASLOK. A wild affair. Very Fluid. Great fun.
