Overview:

The British Calais perimeter was quickly shrinking under the increasing pressure from advancing German forces. The 1st Panzer Division was moving east to gain the N 43 highway for its final drive on Calais. First, the division had to seize control of the Canal de Calais bridge. The British 1st Searchlight Regiment, under Second Lieutenant R.J. Barr, had orders to hold the bridge as long as possible. Without armored support, Barr started preparing for the defense by blocking the bridge approaches with an abandoned truck and a bus. At 1400 hours, German light tanks began the assault. . .

2022-06-09(A) Paul Works vs Tom Meier German winUsed GER balance (adding a 7-0 to German OB); this allowed the other two leaders to be more aggressive. Malf'd all three of my Pz IIAs' MAs - sigh; used them afterwards to drop smoke and to limit rout paths (well,except for the Pz IIA that was immobilized with a disabled MA; that one I abandoned). I pushed hard starting on turn three and got some SD smoke on the road and the bridge that allowed me to get across the canal with enough time to chase down all the British.
2021-11-11(D) Dave Mareske vs Stephen Smith British winThis is a tough fight for the Germans. Need to get smoke. The British ATRs also got a couple CHs so that did not help the Germans. The British 9-2 caused a fair amount of damage to the infantry as well.
2020-10-25(D) wayne baumber vs Joel British winVery tough for the German's I feel.
2019-09-22(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Wallace British winMy first VASL game in about 8 years.
2008-11-04(D) Bill Brodie vs Stephen Mugford British winPulled out a 3 on the last CC for a win !!
