Overview:

In their attempts to stem the German advance to Calais and other port cities, the British dispatched the 3rd Royal Tank Brigade, composed of the 2nd king's Royal Rifles and the 1st Queen's Victoria Rifles. On 23 May, these units sallied aggressively out of Calais, attempting to breach the German line and, under a heavy rain, hit the 10th Panzer Division in the flank. In Guines, elements of a recon unit had already taken up positions with the support of an anti-tank gun. The British attempted to clear this force and continue their drive east.
Attacker: British (1st Queen's Victoria Rifles/3rd Royal Tank Regiment)
Defender: German (Panzer Auflärung Abteilung 5, Panzer Division 10/Panzer Regiment 4)

2025-04-23(D) Johan Vrijdaghs vs Adrian Carter British win
2025-03-23(A) Dave B vs Joseph L DiCamillo British winA question arising out of this one led to a long discussion on Boardgamegeek (search for "Smoke TH DRM at CAFP from adjacent Wreck Blaze while in Stationary Bypass"). It was a fun scenario, and I'd definitely play it again. My British tanks managed to get most of their hits converted to kills just a wee bit faster and more frequently than my opponent, leading to the win.
2025-03-08(A) Jon Jaramillo vs Dan P German win2 hrsWe played this at a game day as the finals of the Tommy Mini from West Coast Melee 2025. I rolled for the attacking Brits and thought I had a decent plan. My plan was derailed by me getting a little too frisky with my AFVs and Dan rolling a lot of 4s and 5s. This one was never really in doubt, as Dan is an expert player and was set up with a solid defense. I conceded in turn 4 or 5 when I IFed and broke the MA on the last AFV I had that was functional.
