Overview:

During Operation Market Garden, the 7th Somersets, the lead battalion of the 214th Brigade was to push through Oosterhaut and link up with Polish paratroopers at Driel. Traffic chaos in the city resulted in a planned pre-dawn attack being delayed. Nevertheless, the link-up could not be delayed, for the British across the Rhine were in desperate straits by then. In full light the Germans, bolstered during the night with a headquarters infantry battalion and a company of Panthers, were prepared to give them a bloody time of it.

2021-12-31(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Omid Mashregh-Zamini German winGood first turn of the brits, advancing all over the line. Then they started braking and their shooting went bad. The southern front more or less collapsed because of a few lucky germans shots which first broke and then reduced a whole stack of brits in the building near the bridge. The Panther was initially placed in the south part, by the bridge. The PIATs advancing in the south also got a beating. At turn 4 the only potential threat was the eastern front where quite a few brits along with the 9-2 leader advanced. Well placed resid around the bridge halted the advance and then the Panther could be brought up, stopping the whole british advance. On turn 6 there was no real chance to get VPs for the brits and still no real casualties for the germans.

(VASL Log)		Used German balance. British made two separate flanking groups that both aggressively keeping contact with enemy. German AFV was drawn out and dispatched with very lucky rear shot with PIAT fairly early in the engagement which only strengthened the British boldness in eventually overwhelming one strong-point and diluting the other defender's focus. Submitted log file with last couple of turns.
