Overview:

On the day that General Martel received orders to prepare for a counter-offensive around Arras, his 25th Brigade had already begun to fall back from its forward positions on the high ground overlooking the River Dendre. As the infantry regiments marched off, their rear and flanks were covered by a screen of their own Carriers and the light tanks of the cavalry regiment supporting the 50th Infantry Division. As was to happen many times in the days ahead, the mobile rearguard had to fight a spirited action in an exposed and difficult position.
Attacker: German (Lead elements of the 6th Army)
Defender: British (25th Brigade, 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers, and 2nd Essex with 50th Division's Cavalry Light Tanks)

2021-04-06(A) Simon Staniforth vs German winA mobile battle in our playing as the Germans hunt down the CVP required to win whilst also trying to retain the exit VP option. Brit Mk VI powerful in the OVR on the counter attack but 2 lost to the ATG / LMG shot plus 3 Carriers KO secured the win on CVP
2020-10-20(D) wayne baumber vs Joel German winDisappointing scenario, although an interesting situation, in play the British forces are out gunned and easily out manoeuvred by the mobile German forces. Lost of 2 FP shots from the Brits and cycles make the game just a little too bitty IMHO. Germans won comfortable by GT6.
2020-05-11(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna British winCame to the final turn. Those little bitty Brit tanks were actually pretty good in this one!
2020-01-10(A) Shane Pask vs German winI hate carriers so thought i would drive straight down the road and accept any losses. Residual fp and a mk vi stopped that. Still managed 29 exit vp and 11 cvp. 2 carriers recalled, 1 stolen by a german 8-0, 1 destroyed. At game end, no Pom afv had working guns (1 disabled, 2 malf, 1 stolen, 1 scrounged, 2 recalled, 2 destroyed). 1 mk vi was immobilised twice, shocked twice and finally destroyed with ch.
