Overview:

The mission of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market-Garden was to secure the 15 miles of highway stretching from Eindhoven north to Veghel. The Screaming Eagles faced almost no opposition until the paratroopers reached the northern outskirts of the village of Zon. As the 1st Battalion entered the village with A Company in the vanguard, they were fired upon by a concealed heavy AA piece – the fabled German 88, one of several in place to protect the bridge from Allied bombers.
Attacker: American (1st and 2nd Batt., 506th PIR, 101st Airborne)
Defender: German (Selbstaendige FlaK Batterie, Flieger Division 7)

DateReporterOpponentResultComments
2020-09-20(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon American winLoic had a pretty good set up, though maybe I would have had the 88s in a different spot. Still, a dice roll one way or the other and he wins.
2020-09-13(A) Craig Renier vs Bill Burtt German winAmericans made steady progress, but began to break in Turn 4. The German 88s were emplaced on woods hexes on the exit side. On the final turn one 88 retained rate and was able to break enough of the American force to attain a win.
2020-09-10(A) Jonathan Plott vs Craig Renier German winThe Americans had significant issues just getting on to the board; my opponent Craig R did a great job of breaking a number of my units as they tried to get organized in their assembly areas, and my DRs (today, at least) were such that units broken in Turn 1 in some cases stayed broken until turn 3. The Yanks tried forcing the center, and got rebuffed; they tried forcing the western flank and got stalled. By the time the Americans were able to reorganize a force of any strength, it was already turn 3. By Turn 4, the paratroopers were able to get some movement to the south, but it was too little, too late...the German defenses were able to completely stop any Americans reaching the victory conditions. Congratulations, Craig!
2020-09-01(D) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier German winSwitched sides and played again. 88s had some good hits and the Americans could not dislodge one 4-6-7 and his LMG, which became a problem in exiting. Highlight was an American CH with a BZK on one of the 88s!
2020-08-21(A) Dave Mareske vs Craig Renier American winThe Americans moved in on the west side, got some key SMOKE placements and made some early key morale checks. Able to easily avoid one of the 88s and the other one MALFed on turn four giving the victory to the Americans.
2020-08-16(A) David Garvin vs Brian McKinley American win
2020-06-21(D) Kevin Sanders vs Jon Plott German winVery good luck on 1st set of roles by Germans caught both US leaders and a few squads on the 1st 2 turns.
Not much luck for the US, stalled advance ended in an early concede,,,,Germans were lucky
2020-06-11(A) Kevin Sanders vs Seb Vitry American winSlug fest that the US was loosing due to great 88 coverage and rate. Finally US gets a break on last couple turn and have exactly enough VPs to try for exit in range...no more or less. Winning VPs survived 2 shot attempts (1 miss, 1 intensive fire hit) from 88 to exit and force the last turn, last shot win....lucky but will take it. Well played German defense.
2020-06-01(D) Macari Samuel vs Seb Vitry German winAfter a catastrophic first round, the Americans found themselves grouped together, trapped in the buildings, with no other possibility than to try to escape enemy fire. An clear victory for the Germans who suffered no loss.
2020-05-29(D) Kevin Sanders vs Seb Vitry German winGreat scenario. Poor looses for US early cost the game. Did go to the last turn and the US almost squeaked out the VPs needed but pinned 1 hex away.
2020-04-12(A) Kevin Sanders vs Derek Dunn American winWhen to the last trun - US units running like made to try for the exits - 88s pounding away leaving 8 Residual all over the exits. Death of a US unit to 2 RFP....good game lots learnt
2020-03-18(A) O Ramaille vs Macari Samuel German winAn excellent German setup and shot performance hampered the pincer-like American attack. The 88s revealed very soon and were efficient in disorganizing the Americans. Despite good leaders, MMG fire was unable to silent those guns. The Geman defenders withdraw efficiently and broke several US squads. With the few forces left, the Americans tried a dash to the exit but were cut down by the strong German firepower left.
2020-03-18(D) Macari Samuel vs O Ramaille German winA really good scenario.
2019-12-21(D) Jacob Elmqvist vs Ingemar Gardell German win
2019-12-11(A) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Fedor Grachev German winLooks like balanced scenario, our games was decided at the very last roll, which for me means, it's a good one.
2019-10-20(A) Pascal Boileau vs Philippe Briaux German win
2019-10-12(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Cusick, John American win
2019-10-12(A) David Garvin vs Ray Saulnier American win
2019-10-12(A) Vilis Pavulans vs Steven Steward German winVery intense game. Is recorded on YouTube among VASLing with Stews videos. Painful ending..
2019-07-13(D) JP Laurio vs Peter German win
2019-01-01(A) davide galloni vs Alle American win
2018-11-05(D) Tom Abromaitis vs Travis Crowe German winToo much prep fire meant the Americans had too much to do on the last turn.
2018-05-29(D) David Garvin vs Amanda Boles German win
2018-02-24(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Cohen, Dave American win
2017-12-01(A) Jeff B vs Andrea Rhoss American winAmericans did their best to completely avoid both 88s and approached in force from the northwest. By the end of Turn 3 all German infantry (except the two crews) were either broken or dead. Turn 4 saw the Americans bravely scatter to take on the one 88 that stood between them and victory, but the Germans must have felt further defense was futile at this point as they threw up the white flag.
2017-09-24(A) Vic Lauterbach vs EL American winThis is ZON WITH THE WIND without concealment, snipers or trenches but a good defensive tutorial and fun for both sides. The up front defense didn't work as one US platoon took out both crews while the 9-2 directed squad with MMG broke the key German positions on GT5 allowing the 8-1 and three squads to exit. The 88s need to cover the exit hexes from H1 and J1. You can play this one twice in an afternoon. As always in an SK scenario, several HoB DRs went unused!
2017-07-25(D) Louis Langdeau vs Reid C German winPhew! Close one. My 88s didn't do much in this. One had the crew get murdered by a good shot early on, and the other malfed on its second shot of the game and never recovered. That being said, the rest of my troops performed admirably, falling back to lock Reid's troops out of the exit. Reid had a few bad melees as well that went on for far too long, and I managed to brick him on the last turn.
2017-07-09(A) Seumas Hoskins vs Dean American winDean setup his 88s a bit too far forward on the hills and didnt realize the Americans enter at two different points on the map. Americans zipped under the LOS of the guns and rushed into the exit point.
2017-06-15(A) Greg Krane vs Solo German winWinters wounded on the first turn! O the Drama!
2017-06-06(A) Greg Krane vs Solo German winLast minute 1FP resid fire snake eyes broke the last American half squad I needed to obtain the needed VP's. Great small scenario!!
2017-01-04(A) David Garvin vs Craig Stark American win
2016-11-19(D) Colin Emerson vs Michael Dorosh German winPlayed this SK scenario using concealment, which really threw the balance off, probably slowed the Americans down by 3 turns. Was also fortunate enough to have 2 squads really slow down the 2nd American group. Last turn saw Americans trying to run through my goal line stand. German win. Our unbalancing made the scenario too short for the Americans.
2016-11-19(A) Michael Dorosh vs Colin Emerson German winTried this one with full ASL rules (less SAN, EC, etc.) German benefited from setting up concealed, so probably didn't play out fully as it would in ASLSK. Still, lots of shooting and hidden gun action.
2016-09-17(D) Tom Abromaitis vs American win
2016-07-01(D) Tom Abromaitis vs Michael Gower German win
2015-10-04(D) Alberto Griffa vs Roberto Alesse American win

2015-07-19(A) leo zhu vs AraKalLek German winIt's a face to face game, teaching AraKalLek to use Gun.He have good luck to fire 88 Gun, 9 hit in 10 try.
2015-03-21(A) O Ramaille vs Valkiem American winThe first american forces entered up hill and soon discovered a german 88 AA gun waiting for them. They quickly silenced it and attract the german fires to them. Meanwhile, the major force crossed the village and dislodged the week german resistance. The major german forces were up hill and theratened by some american fires. they were unable to prevent the US paratroopers to exit the map and win the game.
2015-03-16(A) O Ramaille vs German American winThe US advance was slow in the village with scattered German troops defending. At the exit of the village, the 88s fired and destroyed a few units. The Americans then rushed to exit the city as one of the gun was malfunctioning. Several paratroopers were pinned or routed but eventually thye US leader, one squad and two half-squads exited safely, just enough to win the game.
2015-03-16(D) Angelo Brugnoli vs Lorenzo Panarello American win
2015-01-11(D) Aaron Sibley vs John Bubb German winJohns second game of ASL.He played well until a critical with an 88 KIA his 9-2 and a squad and broke two others. He has learned the downside of stacking!

2014-02-13(A) Michael Focht vs David Garber German win
2014-01-17(D) Michael Focht vs Joel Covey German win
2012-10-27(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe 88s remain hidden in the woods south of town whereas the german soldiers were scattered in town to slow the US progression. This tactic proved a success as the US get only 1 turn to exit and get VPs. But, at this time the 88s awoke and prevent the paratroopers to exit. Only one squad was successful because one of the gun malfunctioned.
2012-08-26(A) David Ramsey vs John T American winClose game but the US must push continually.
2012-08-24(A) Jeff Coleman vs Brandon Coleman German win
2011-09-13(D) robert wilson vs R Clow German winsecond time I won with a Half squad holding off the US paras, last turn he KIA a squad, pinned another then FPF and breaks their 9-2 leader
2011-02-23(A) O Ramaille vs American winPlayed 88s at Zon twice. Twice the american won. There is not much placement availability for the guns. They are exposed fairly quickly. Precise shots from the paratroopers can silent the guns definetely.
2010-09-22(A) Kermit Mullins vs Scott Waites German win
2010-06-24(D) Miikka Sohlman vs Matti Holsti German win
