Overview:

The German 5th Panzer Division, under the command of Rommel, was attacking the British east of the La Basee Canal. The 2nd Battalion of the Dorsetshire Regiment pulled back from the village of Gorre and set up their defenses in the town of Festubert. “D” Company was in the northern end of town. A few stragglers from the battalion’s armored transport had returned to Festubert after a German tank platoon had smashed the fleeing British column. Following up the few vehicles which had managed to return to the perimeter, the panzers appeared on the northern outskirts of the village. . .

2026-03-02(A) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett British winA decisive victory for the British as the Germans tanks missed over 95% of their shots, and had their numbers reduced by 2 from a single ATR and its manning squad. A daring dash by a carrier trapped a group of Germans who were eliminated for failure to rout, and many other mishaps meant that the Germans never posed a threat to the objective after Game Turn 2. Hard to judge based on the results I had, although I'd appreciate the Germans getting a DC or something to tackle all the Stone buildings and rowhouses they need to capture.
2022-02-20(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German winDicey but fun to play with the small German tanks and smoke dispensers. Came up the left flank against the defense and made slow and steady progress. Brits rolled 2 12's on MCs causing some CRs and greatly affecting his defense.
