Overview:

As the British troops in Calais were preparing to defend the town, the Rifle Brigade received orders to escort a column of ten-ton lorries loaded with rations for the British at Dunkirk. A composite force of infantry and tanks was made up to handle this task. Unfortunately, by the time the convoy moved out at 0400 hours, units of the 1st Panzer Division were already present in strength in the area. Halfway between le Beau Marais and Marck, three miles outside of Calais, the column met a strong German blocking position, with infantry and anti-tank guns positioned in the houses and allotments.
Attacker: British (B Company, 1st Battalion, The Rifle Brigade/3rd Royal Tank Regiment)

2020-06-09(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best British winA very close game. The Germans needed to destroy one more tank to get the win, but the British were in the village shooting away and breaking the Germans. Germans destroyed two tanks with the AT guns and two with an LMG. The ATRs did not do anything. Some good Melee wins for the British secured good positions towards the end of the game. I recommend this one!
2020-06-09(D) Dan Best vs Dave Mareske British win
2020-02-08(A) Shane Pask vs British winStarted poorly for the poms with two tanks hit with CH. Luck improved when one was a dud. It still took the whole 6 turns and only just made it. Luckily units held in melee are not good order and SMC don't count for victory.
2019-07-01(A) Scott Sherer vs John Ferrell British winThe Brits managed to pull this one out despite a slow start that had the Germans blunting the initial assault. The big turning point in the game came when my Brits managed a CH in the hex where the second German AT was still hidden. This opened up options for VBM freeze for the Brits and they managed to fix the Germans in place and clear the road via CC.
