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)
Defender: German (SS) (SS-Panzer Division 9)

| 2022-12-31 | (D) Jack Wilson | vs | Mark O. | Canadian win | Fun little scenario. Canadians have 9 SE trying to overwhelm the German SS 4.5 SE. Germans have to keep at least one unbroken MMC in the church building or lose automatically. The German fire was effective early and slowed the Canadian advance. But they eventually got into the building by T5, and it came down to several frantic CC. A lone German HS held out to the final CC on the final turn. Mark needed to roll a 7 or less to win the game, and rolled exactly a 7. C'est la vie! Fun game, and an excellent learning scenario: no vehicles, OBA, guns, etc. Although the Canuks had an LtMtr (malf'd and then eliminated early on) and a DC to play with. Worth a replay. | |
| 2022-11-16 | (D) David Ramsey | vs | Bill Durrant | German (SS) win | Germans hunkered down across many levels in the church but the one lone HS who broke, rallied and held up the Canadian flank attack was the star, despite berserk-charging to his death. | |
| 2022-10-09 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Slava Zipunov | German (SS) win (VASL Log) | British had bad times with fire rolls, so German defenders were able to hold the church and its approaches. | |
| 2022-06-10 | (D) Kevin Sanders | vs | Adam Barrie | German (SS) win | Really good game vs a newer player that played well. Got into the Church and almost won on last turn. |
