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.
Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Kampfgruppe Harder)

2022-04-03(D) Jonathan Plott vs Bill Ryder British winPlayed this against another relative newbie at the most excellent Where the Iron Crosses Grow Tournament this past weekend. The game was a very near run thing with Bill getting two of his Stugs and an officer SMC off the edge of the map for 15 VPs...but a last-second Pin of the one squad that was in a position to make it off the board secured the British win. 17 VPs needed for a SS victory and got 15. As the British, playing with your entire force HIP while FTF was a new experience for me (had been playing VASL exclusively for the past two years for obvious reasons). Thank heaven for iPhone cameras! Great game Bill!
2021-11-27(D) David Garvin vs Gary Olson British win
2021-09-06(A) Jonathan Plott vs Stephen Stewart British winBest laid plans...yadda yadda yadda. Entire force was going along the southern (lower) edges of the board. Attempted to push my infantry forward to screen the advance of my AFV's. Had to get at least two of them off the board to have even a chance of victory. For 2 turns, was doing well (I thought) until the T3 MPh and Stew's impeccably placed 6-pounders opened up on my moving StuGs and killed them all. Brit victory in two and half turns. I learned a lot...thanks for the game, Stew!
