2026-06-28(A) David Ramsey vs Michael Urquhart Canadian win1.33 hrsLearned from my first attempt and was a little more subtle and careful in the approach. Michael conceded before his reinforcements arrived on the basis that my Canadians had taken the buildings and were able to begin the withdrawal unimpeded.
2026-06-28(A) Andy Bagley vs Matt Ellis Canadian winSecond playing of this interesting scenario, with unusual VCs that require the Canadians to move into 2+ buildings then run back to defend their base. I had the better DRs early on so achieved the first part without much trouble, and just managed to get the required 7VPs back by my last turn. Even so, the Germans could have snatched victory had their tank managed to get into my hex to put my units in melee (hence not good order). But a last-ditch PIAT shot denied them.
2026-06-28(A) Paul Legg vs Peter Burbery Canadian winDouble One 2026 Main Tournament Round 3

my second playing of this, again as the Canadians. we did select sides randomly.
Peter unfortunately left the woods path/road open which meant I was able to charge round for the back most victory building and from there push for the solitary building at the back of the enclosed farmyard. That group also include both piats to be in position to intercept the reinforcing tank. I was able to withdraw enough forces and when the afv fell to a piat peter conceded.
2026-06-28(D) Tim Reade vs Martin Barker German winMartin managed to get into the Farmyard, but failed (just) to get enough CVP worth of Canadians back into the victory area. It was a close run thing and relied on the MkIV breaking a lone half squad in bounding fire.
