Overview:

Quite unexpectedly, the British launched a major counterattack from Arras against the extended spearheads of Rommel’s breakthrough. The Germans were able to stop the foot soldiers but the British armor pushed on unsupported – deep into the German lines. Desperate, Rommel used elements of the nearby 6th Motorized Rifle Brigade and any guns he could commandeer to throw together a makeshift defense outside the village of Beaurains.
Attacker: British (4th Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment)
Defender: German (Panzer Division 7)

2021-01-02(D) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval British winAlthough the British AFV moved painfully slowly, the Germans just could not do enough damage. By the end, the British only had to exit one AFV for the win, which finally happened on turn 14.
2021-01-01(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval British winBritish steady forward movement & constant CVP gains eeked out a victory in the end by only needing 4 exit CVP. Only two AFV left in play was enough.
2020-10-28(D) Dan Best vs Paul Works British win
2020-10-28(A) Paul Works vs Daniel Best British winAlthough I found this scenario to be a fast-moving, fun one as the British - I know it had to be frustrating for Dan as the Germans. The Matilda IIs are nearly invulnerable to all the German weapons. As long as they don't stop (and why would they, with red MPs), a Deliberate Immobilization shot takes a "2" or "3" To Hit DR (and the "3" DR requires a "1" on the white die) - so only two chances out of 36. If the Germans can somehow get an OBA attack on the Matildas (as Dan did in our game... oops on my part), they could do some damage; but the Brits can avoid most such opportunities by staying somewhat out of LOS of the observer. In most games, the British Matilda IIs can exit before the German 88s get on the map. Even if they don't, the 88s will likely only get a couple shots. Not sure why the scenario is 16 turns long - should never get there.
2009-01-26(A) James Lowry vs Patch Bunny British win
2007-07-15(A) Keith Colins vs JD Sullivan British winI'm not sure how the Germans win this one if the 88's don't come on early.
2007-07-14(D) Jeremy Sullivan vs Keith Collins British win
