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)

2023-12-19(D) Ian Mann vs Ashley Tennant German winVery good game, a Sherman managed to flank and destroy the Stug, but German infantry got very lucky in CC getting their revenge upon the aforementioned British tank.
2023-06-25(D) Andy Bagley vs Indy Lagu British winA very nice short scenario, although a bit dicey just because it's short. I set up close to the VC buildings with just a couple of half-squads in front to screen the approach. The British opted for a head-on frontal assault and quickly brushed aside the screen, going through the orchards and woods including one tank forcing a trail-break. My StuG attempted to take on the Shermans, got one but fell victim to the second - although this was later immobilised by my AA gun. Despite these setbacks the British infantry pushed on relentlessly and was able to force me out off the main VC building and two others, leaving me with insufficient for any counter-attack. Conceded on turn 4.
2023-06-25(A) Indy Lagu vs Andy Bagley British winAndy gives a good account of our playing.

I'll add that I think he was caught a bit off guard with
my decision to go straight up the middle with everyone
(including the Shermans).

Andy had a bit of bad luck; he immobilized a Sherman
(which was not bad luck), but in a position that was rather
useful to me (hence the bad luck). Next turn, the Sherman
fired HE at his gun crew and scored a K. No more AA Gun
after that.

The German key was perhaps a 548 with LMG. When that
fellow finally broke, I was able to keep him under DM. When
he finally rallied (on British 4), I smoked him with a MTR.

On German 4, the Brits had three buildings in force and the
German did not have enough to retake and hold two of them.

Worth playing again. Perhaps the Germans should get the balance
(one fewer 457 for the Brits)?
2023-06-25(A) Paul Legg vs Tim Bunce German winDouble One 2023 - Main Round 3 - Earlier in this tournament I diced my opponent, this scenario it was my turn to dice myself. I had 5 or 6 boxcars on MCs and rally attempts. Only the little mortar had any real effect and that broke as well
2023-06-18(D) Miikka Sohlman vs Shinji Inaba British win
