Overview:
In the days following Operation Spring, the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division conducted several short but sharp engagements to improve their positions. One such position was the adjoining villages of St. Andre-sur-Orne and St. Martin-de-Fontenay. The Canadians held the southeast portion of St. Andre and all of St. Martin except the church on the southern outskirts. Brigadier H.A. Young wanted the church taken. He believed the objective could be taken by a company of infantry supported by engineers.Attacker: Canadian (Les Fusiliers Mount-Royal)

| 2022-03-10 | (D) Fedor Melnikov | vs | Alexey Kolleganov | German (SS) win (VASL Log) | A very intense and fast scenario. The German troops held their defenses until Turn 4, but eventually the Canadians broke through and the fighting was already ultra-short range. The outcome was unclear until the last roll! |

| 2022-01-30 | (D) David Garvin | vs | Nick Faryna | German (SS) win | What a barn-burner. Came to the final turn. I had a squad as the Germans and was locked in Melee. His CC roll failed to knock me out, so I won. Barely! |
| 2021-12-18 | (D) Steve Gibson | vs | David Wiesenhahn | German (SS) win | Canadians pushed hard on the left, but were delayed by a stubborn German squad, lmg, and hero gaurding the eastern approaches to the church. The Canadian HMG broke, then rolled a six on the repair to take it out of the fight. The Canadian killstack formed and was crushed by a really lucky roll, leading to a Canadian concession at the end of turn 4. The mortar only landed smoke on the front of the cathedral one time before rolling high and losing smoke ability, which also hurt the Canadian prospects. |
| 2021-12-17 | (A) Vilis Pavulans | vs | Omid Mashregh-Zamini | Canadian win | Canadians got smoke on MMG-leader in the church and managed to make good progress across the open space on turn one. A smaller force went the long way around. Few Canadian losses on first two turns but got a few good hits on the germans losing a whole squad early to fire and then soon a fateful rally accident which decimated more germans. Then it was a slow advance up the church to flush out the last defenders who managed to create a hero and that lone hero killed a Canadian squad and hero in CC just before the end but the Germans had to accept defeat in turn 5. |
