Overview:

As Operation Yellow opened, the recon battalion of the SS Verfugungs Truppen (or “V Division”) was detailed to Kampfgruppe Grave. This battle group was assigned the task of seixing bridges across the Waal River at Nijmegen, Neersbosch, Hatert, Malden and Heuman. Only the bridge at Heuman could be taken intact. At Hatert, every man in the assault detachment was either wounded or killed. A wounded Oberscharfuhrer Franz Vogt led the remnants of his unit, 4 men, on to capture the damaged bridge against tenacious Dutch resistance. Vogt was awarded the Knight’s Cross for his bravery and determination.

2023-03-22(D) Jeff B vs Scott Sherer German (SS) win5.75 hrsDon't be fooled by the board images as the bridge should have little if any to do with actual gameplay. A nice little scenario, though perhaps too much will hinge on whether or not the Dutch get OBA. At first I thought it a luxury, but it will be a necessary part of their quest to stave off the German onslaught. Scott split his force, coming on exceptionally hard in the north, with the balance safely sticking to the southern woods and the HMG and 9-1 in the center on overwatch. I felt the greatest threat from them initially, and I was lucky enough to drop some full-strength OBA on their heads. The leader wounded and broke, but the squad shrugged it off and generated a hero in the process. Despite the dampness the woods next door caught fire, and would spread rather quickly later in the game, but it would be a non-factor in limiting the Germans. My MMG squad and 7-0 took their own hits when an AC busted them up, wounding the leader in the process. Turn 2 was rather costly for both sides, with each losing 1.5 squads, but the Dutch could ill-afford a trade-off of this nature. I continued to be scared off my MGs, with the HMG HS breaking and a LMG HS dying. I repositioned my OBA to confront the threatening northern force. I blew up one of the ACs in this manner, but I continued to be bullied back in the southern woods, and my men in the north had to retreat with their backs against the Waal. Turn 4 was rather quiet as Scott consolidated his men, with me shocking another AC with the OBA, only to have it bounce back. Every time I tried to do anything remotely aggressive my men paid the price. The rest of the game saw the German's inexorably squeeze me into the SW corner of the board, eventually breaking my last good order HS in their last AFPh. Good game.
