2022-02-03(A) nathan wegener vs James Treu German winQuickly caused 12CVP on Germans and had both Matilda's across the bridge. Crew of the German 81MRT set one Matilda on fire (snakes in CC) then achieved 2 more CH hits to kill 6 CVP of Brits to win the game for the Germans
2017-03-30(D) Rich Weiley vs Dave Longworth German winHad to play this one after the recent issue of After the Battle with the main article featuring Matildas on Crete. My 81mm mortar did good execution on the enemy and was probably the difference between victory and defeat.
