Overview:

After their epic 20-day stand at Hill 112 and the breakout from the Falaise pocket, the men of SS-Panzer Detachment 102 were afoot when they reached Rouen. The surviving crewmen and mechanics had abandoned their last Tigers on the banks of the Seine before they crossed over to continue the retreat. But during the night of 30 August, their commander ordered lieutenants Fey and Baral to take a mixed force of tankers and mechanics back across the river to destroy a number of heavy tanks left intact. Wehrmacht stragglers relayed that two Panthers sat immobile a few blocks away. But when they arrived they found the tanks no longer abandoned! Maquisards were rotating the turrets and test-firing the machineguns. The lieutenants discussed the situation, and determined to put an end to this foolishness. More than enough panzerfausts to do the job were lying about along the shore.

2018-07-25(A) Scott Sherer vs Jeff B. Partisan (BCRA) winPlayed FtF vs Jeff in Wisconsin. Enjoyable scenario that came down the the next to last turn. Jeff got a couple of good rolls on a MA shot with one of the captured Panthers and the subsequent effects roll and broke my 9-2 leader, crew and squad which were the last ones to have a decent shot at hitting and killing the last Panther. He then moved into their rear and killed them by failure to rout, pretty much locking up the game. Took out one of the tanks, just couldn't get the other.

2017-03-17(A) Kermit Mullins vs Colman Quill German (SS) winFast and dirty game of hide and seek as I sent my Germans scurrying forward with a plethora of Panzerfausts. Colman and I used the old SL & COI Panzerfaust Counters to create some wild stacks. My Germans managed to get two Advancing Fire shots and both Panthers went up in flames.
2017-03-07(A) Martí Cabré vs Eoin Corrigan Partisan (BCRA) winI pushed with the Germans and managed to burn a Panther with a Panzerfaust but Eoin did good moves that perfectly covered the second one. On the last turn I had to move everyone on the street to get a shot on the second Panther and all my units were broken by Partisan fire.
