Overview:

On D-Day, the 1st Special Service Brigade landed under fire on Sword Beach at H+90 and made the long trek to cross the Orne River Bridge (Pegasus Bridge) at Benouville and establish a defensive perimeter against counterattack on the far eastern flank of the beachhead. Central to the defense of the area was the town of Amfreville, situated on a low ridge which afforded a dominating view up and down the flat coastline. On the morning of 0 +2, 6 Troop, defending the road junction leading north from Ranville to Sallenellas and west to Bas de Breville, sighted troops approaching up the latter road. 6 Troop had been hit hard during the landings and was grossly understrength, although they were bolstered by a detachment from the heavy weapons platoon. Lt. John Alderson decided not to wait and launched an attack of his own, intending to catch the approaching Germans on their flank and to drive into their rear.
Attacker: British (6 Troop, 3 Commando, 1st Special Service Brigade)

2025-04-29(D) Mark Peak vs Dan Leader In progressBoy I was smoked on this one. Had to concede in Turn 6. British did not break much and I broke like crazy. No place to rally and Dan did a great job keeping my guys DM. My setup probably was the problem but it was such a bloodbath, I'm not sure much would have changed if I had set up differently.
2025-03-13(D) Craig Renier vs Boyce British winClose game. Brits had exceptional luck with smoke and WP while the Germans kept failing MCs and ELR to include the squad with the MMG. Germans used broken units to restrict the British advance. British had exactly 9 VPs. The Germans tried Prep on the last turn in an attempt to break one MMC without luck. The better action probably would have been to attempt to get into CC against a HS, but that required crossing open ground.
2024-11-25(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win2 hrs
2024-11-25(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German win2 hrsMy British couldn't get the rolls with 24 factor shots and the Germans plastered me with 2's, 3's, and 4's. German victory.
