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.

2021-03-27	(A) Paul Works	vs	Tom Meier	Canadian win	I made my main attack along the left side, through the building lines on that side. I did keep a couple squads and leader on my right to keep him occupied. My mortar had no smoke (sigh..), so i was forced to do it the hard way. Tom played a nice, rotating defense; sleazing his troops back when he could. I was able to get the DC placed (!), but it had no effect. I was able to start breaking his troops which allowed me to get into the church. On the final turn, I had to rush up to the top floor to get one of units in CC while encircling his final squad on the first floor. To win, I had a 1:2 CC attack to kill that final squad. That CC was the last DR of the game and I rolled a "3" (!!). Crazy. Fun game with Tom.
2021-03-18	(A) Grant Linneberg	vs	Bruno Javanabal	German (SS) win	Looking good for the Canadians but they left the back door open. A german unit self-rallied and made it in that back door after surviving a 4-2 2mc. Fun scen. Hadn't played it in 20+ years.
2020-09-07	(D) Jason Nichols	vs	Eric Topp	German (SS) win	Canadians popped smoke on my concealed MMG on level two of church on turn one but malf'd the mortar on turn two. The German sniper took out a leader and the Canadians took a number of casualties for no loss to the Germans. Dice rolls were not kind to the Canadians and they resigned at end of turn two.
2020-09-01	(A) Dmitry Klyuykov	vs	Fedor Grachev	Canadian win
2020-07-24	(D) Mike Whittemore	vs	Sébastien	German (SS) win	Séb and I are still learning the system so don't make the greatest choices. Séb established a ring of Canadians in the buildings surrounding the church, and I had withdrawn all units into the church. I had a lucky route/rally allowing me to tie together a strong fire group that obliterated his main force. He decided he had too many broken units to continue and conceded. One thing we agreed is that he should have been using his mortar to drop heavy smoke in front of the church, instead of lugging it around like a suitcase. That's on me since I am both learning and teaching the game. Since this scenario is so simple we agreed to play it a few more times to try to get our chops.
