Overview:

The British perimeter outside the city of Arnhem was steadily shrinking. Four days after dropping north of the Rhine, the paratroops and glidermen of the 1st Airbourne Division were running critically short of supplies and men. The Germans were massing their forces, and it seemed that they would crush the perimeter before 30 Corps, the ground portion of the market-Garden offensive, could reach them. With nowhere to go, the airborne troops did what they had been trained to do, defend the airhead. . . . A small group of British infantry, with two anti-tank guns, must hold off a German force supported by three armored assault guns. All of the British units may use hidden setup, so the German player will see nothing but a empty map as he begins his attack.

2021-04-12(A) Chris Anthony vs Craig Renier British win

(VASL Log)		A very well placed defense. The German northern arm was quickly reduced to a HS and wreck of the StuG. The main German force pushed up to the orchard road in the middle of town, but was thwarted when trying to cross. After a delay to rally most of the squads, the Germans were able to make it to the base of the two hills. Again the push stalled, but victory was still possible, if not likely. A dash to the exit failed when the first StuG was smoked by the last AT gun.
2021-04-11(D) Craig Renier vs Chris Anthony British winDespite losing a full squad to a CH shot from one StuH early, the British defense held its own, bolstered by eliminating one StuG with an AT gun on Turn 2. The German advance was deliberate leaving the British with few options for defensive fire, but the defense kept the advance from gaining too much ground. The British defense was also helped by below average IFT rolls followed by above average German MCs. On the final turn the German made a final push needing to use the road beneath both hills in order to reach the board edge. The second British AT gun had remained HIP and finally revealed adjacent to a moving AFV and successfully destroyed it.
2021-02-05(D) O Ramaille vs Gerard Vandervelden British winThe German entered the city and soon suffered some fire from a hidden British unit when some troops crossed an orchard road. The Stugs moved North but Johnny and his men suddenly jumped out from a house and destroyed on of them in CC. The British defended with ferocity preventing the Germans to move forward. Dave and his men first destroyed a halfsquad using their PIAT then moved in CC killing a German squad and its leader. The last two Panzers tried to escape but met the efficient fire from the AT gun. A full British victory.
2021-01-14(D) Jonathan Townsend vs Alberto British win
2020-12-18(D) Craig Renier vs Richard Vierra German (SS) winThe Germans directed their attack on the south side of the field, slowly advancing with infantry scouting for the British guns. One British squad positioned near the board edge was able to reduce the first squad to enter, but the remaining German force entered unscathed. At Turn 3 the Germans had advanced across half the board and entered into CC against the British MMC with the PIAT. The first British gun was set up on the North side with LOS down the road and had only 1 MF in LOS down the road when firing at the German tanks. The TH was lowered even more with the aide of a MMC laid smoke. Even though the Germans took heavy losses in CC, the British MMC and SMC were tied up in CC long enough for the German tanks to progress up the hill on the South side and move carefully towards West edge. On the last turn, the British had a faint hope, having won CC, by maneuvering the PIAT within striking distance and sending a HS into CC against a tank. But with the 2nd British gun emplaced in the brush on the North side, there was little hope of keeping at least two tanks from exiting. When the PIAT broke and CC failed, the Germans quickly exited the three tanks for a Victory.
