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.

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.
2021-09-04(D) Dan Best vs Lee Conner German winSioux City Tournament 2021. Round 1.
2021-05-03(A) Dave Mareske vs Dennis Dowd German winThe Valentine had several shots on my HD tanks, hitting the wall each time! The Germans had time to root our the HIP squad and break everyone else, finally taking out the Valentine in CC on the last turn.
2021-03-10(A) Gerry Proudfoot vs Brian Wiersma British winSecond game played in the same day. The German attack in the north was slowed somewhat in the early stages by a snipe kill of an 8-0 along with pins and breaks but the southern thrust at bldg Z7 went extremely well. By the end of British turn three the northern attack was ready to clear the square while but two tanks had been lost. The southern attack had effectively cleared Z7 and was ready to push forward.

The generally favourable dice turned at this point and while turn 4 saw the square cleared the British got away with only the loss of the MMG crew (228). The southern attack crossed the road to W8 and prepared to move to support the main attack. The turn 5 attack across the square was a disaster for the Germans. 2, 4 FP attacks with low (or no) DRMs and 6+2 from the Matilda's CMG pretty much broke every German moving forward. This left the final attempt on turn six short of infantry and the remaining British infantry in building W3 (2 squads, a 228 and 7-00 held off the attack. In the south a brief British dash into building F7 was dealt with by the remaining German forces in the area that could not add much to the attack up north.

A hard won but clear British win.
2021-03-10(A) Gerry Proudfoot vs Brian Wiersma German winThe main german attack hit the Northern British flank and drove and early wedge. The Matilda then malfunctioned its gun followed by a disable result on the repair attempt. With thee the Matilda recalled and the Germans firmly in place to break open the the British centre and left Brian conceded. We immediately set up to play this one again.
