Overview:

The 2/6th Queen's battalion under Lt. Col. Keighley from the 169th Brigade was assigned the task of securing the Montecorvino airfield. Facing them were the men from the 2nd Battalion, 10th Panzer Grenadier Regiments. Unfortunately, the Shermans from 'C' Squadron Royal Scots Greys assigned to support the Queen's were delayed at the beaches, forcing the men from the Queen's to attack across open terrain. That attack failed. Now supported by the tanks, the Queen's infantry tried again. The well dug in panzer grenadiers has their own armor support, some now hidden among the wreckage of burning planes.
Attacker: British (2nd/6th Queen's Royal Regiment, 169th Brigade and C Squadron, Scots Greys)
Defender: German (Bataillon II, Panzergrenadier-Regiment 10)

2022-01-01(D) Vilis Pavulans vs Omid Mashregh-Zamini German winLearning AFVs on the british side. Pretty good advance in the first turn but the the infantry got a bit halted in the central woods by pinning. The british Shermans went the left side to take care of the mortar in the woods and to encircle the german infantry in the buildings. Good plan until the StuG unhipped from the right side and advanced towards the first british AFV which failed to kill it. Next turn it was destroyed by a critical hit. By that time the second AFV was also in LOS and another hit turned the second Sherman into a blaze. Since it was AFV practice, we ended the game in order to restart.

2020-03-21(D) O Ramaille vs Javanabal Radjah British winA lesser than average German setup associated with incridibly awful die rolls allowed the British an easy walk to the airfield destroying both the hidden gun and the Stug III in the process. The remaining defenders were more heroic and counterattacked to get the main building back. They stepped in but were not able to gain control of it. A British victory.
