Overview:

While refueling and reloading shells expended during the raid on Arras, a tank crew belonging to Lt. Harold McGreggor was brewing tea when they were alerted to the presence of a German column advancing along the road into the rear areas north of Arras. McGreggor quickly organized the Security and Supply Company into fire teams while his crew finished loading the last of the 40mm shells into their racks. As McGreggor mounted his tank, the sounds of approaching motorcycles could be heard. A cloud of dust and roar of engine noise announced their arrival as dozens of motorcycles appeared at the end of the street. McGreggor lowered his head through the hatch and ordered his Matilda into motion.

2025-02-21(D) Jon Jaramillo vs Gene T British win2 hrs2nd round of WCM 2025. My opponent Gene rolled for and got the Germans. Instead of setting it up for a bug hunt, I hipped my leader, MMC and hmg upstairs on the corner of the big building overlooking the entry area. The Matilda was underneath them, hull down. My opponent made a push even along the board edge with the AFVs concentrated on winding their way through the rowhouses. I waited and sprang the HMG out in prep and broke a few of his units then the Matilda got into the action and killed an AFV. By the time the dust had settled, the Matilda had demolished everything in sight, a lowly HS had gotten a leader and 3 MMC on the board edge for FTR and the German last charge to clear the building came up short. Fun scenario, my opponent and I both agree this would be fun to set up anytime.

2024-11-08(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne DuvalA British winGerman AFV quickly eliminated which stalled the assault through the center of town.
2022-11-04(D) Andy Bagley vs Mike Grogan British winExcellent little scenario, and couldn't have been closer. My ammo trucks might have slowed the Germans a bit but otherwise did little - just broke one squad. My Matilda on the other hand did a fine job, and by turn 5 all four German tanks were either wrecked or immobilised. However, this was offset by mistakes I made with the infantry, mostly by putting them on level 1 in rowhouses, where it was very difficult for them to get out.
As a result, the German infantry swept forward, and by the final German player-turn - aided by some poor British defensive fire - had moved into close combat with all of my few remaining infantry units. But then in the final CC, I got lucky with a lone 7-0 leader who managed to roll an ambush, allowing him to escape downstairs, and then into an adjacent building in my final MPh. Here he survived a hail of German fire (although not at great odds) in the last German DFPh to hang on for victory. Fun scenario, very fortunate win.
