Overview:

The Grebbe Line was the principal defensive position into Fortress Holland from the east. Following a preparatory bombardment, the outpost line was attacked at sunrise on 11 May and the defenders slowly fell back to the trenches on the hill. The front line proper was penetrated by the Germans on the afternoon of 12 May, setting the stage for the final assault the next day. . .
Attacker: German (Bataillon 1, Infanterie-Regiment 322, Infanterie-Division 207)

2023-05-19(A) Jack Wilson vs Mark Thompson Dutch winMark Played a flawless defense. Although the ACs the Germans get are cool, they can only enter the battle space through a narrow opening, unless you want to risk a bunch of bog checks. That HMG directed by the 9-2 leader hunkered down in the stone building with a couple of MMCs was impervious to all fire. If I were to play this one again, I would avoid going up that mini-kill stack.
2022-11-16(A) Simon Staniforth vs Gary Norman German winProbed with the infantry and kept the ACs back until the Dutch revealed their MGs as didn’t want to risk them too early. Once fire was drawn they moved in and I got lucky with a 4FP BFF shot breaking the 9-2/HMG combo and was thereafter able to mop up the rest of the defence
2021-06-12(A) Jeff Waldon vs Hank Burkhalter Dutch winVASL - Atlanta ASL
2019-05-21(A) Jeff B vs David Murray German winVery meat and potatoes scenario with the Germans coming straight up the gut. Not much the Dutch can do to stand up to them (unless they want to risk some MGs at the start) as the frontline units will either be broken or frozen by the ACs. Dutch had some extraordinarily bad luck at the end of Turn 2 losing their HMG for good. The Germans got a bit hasty Turn 3 though, losing both ACs (one to CC reaction, one to a MG), and it was looking a bit grim for them. This is pretty much how this one boils down: Germans without ACs will have it rough/Dutch without HMG will have it rough. At this point momentum swung back and forth like the small, dicey scenario it is. At the end of Turn 4 the Germans managed to win the melee in E5. Then on Turn 5 this same group busted both the two squads and 9-2 in E3, and a squad in C4. With only 1.5 GO squads left the Dutch surrendered.
2019-05-11(D) Raoul Duke vs Big Noodle German winGreat fun despite terrible dice (never rallied once; cowered a lot on First Fire shots preventing Subsequent First Fire). Defense was a light screen in front, backed by LMGs and leaders, with the HMG as a backstop. Was able to fall back for the first two turns, before everything totally fell apart. By the end of turn 3, I'd taken over 50% losses. By the end of turn 4, I had one squad remaining. At that point, I conceded.
