Overview:

Driven back by the relentless German onslaught, the 2nd Dorsetshires occupied Festubert to help the withdrawal of the 54th Brigade toward Dunkirk. The Boche launched an assault from the direction of Gorre supported by six medium and three light tanks. Company B, guarding the western approach, had little time to prepare for yet another round of a seemingly endless bout. . .

2024-12-15(D) Mark Thompson vs Dan Lepore German winMy British imprudently (and arrogantly) placed the Carrier’s forward to get first turn DFF opportunities and then abandoned them - with predictable results. The Germans destroyed 5 and the 6th was recalled (and hence outside the victory area). This was the margin in what otherwise turned out to be a very close game that went down to the last CC DR. The British managed to destroy 4 tanks (2 in first turn DFF ATR fire) and immobilize 2 more and kept the Germans to 9 buildings (the AT Guns were back in the village and took their toll on German tanks and infantry), but that’s just what they needed with the carrier bonfire. Lesson learned, ALWAYS keep the carriers back, and especially away from mortars….. My rationale was that every shot / CC against them was a shot foregone against my infantry and precious time spent doing some other than seizing buildings - almost worked, but the math caught up to me. A fun game that pitched back and forth - good scenario.
2024-12-13(A) David Garvin vs Martin Vicca British winI had a great time with this as the Attacker. That said, Martin was quite clever in his defence and in the end, great fun was had!
