Overview:

During the spring of 1945, the Allies were preparing to liberate the Low Countries, for the most part still under German control. In order to avoid the destruction of many local bridges, a special operation was decided on, code named “Amherst”. It envisioned an airborne landing in order to disrupt the German rear area, and to provide intelligence to the Allied troops and avoid the destruction of the bridges. The airborne landing took place during the night of April 6th and problems immediately appeared. Dropped from too high an altitude, the French SAS troopers scattered, far from their objectives. The area of operations where the SAS were to carry out their mission were often pro-German, sometimes even pro-Nazi and the local populace supported the enemy’s soldiers and policemen. Furthermore, the link up with the land forces was delayed, far above the planned 72 hours. Nevertheless, the SAS tried to carry out their mission, in accordance with their motto “Who Dares Wins!” The SAS seized the village of Spier to facilitate the advance of Canadian troops. The initiative triggered a violent response from a German detachment.

2018-08-06(A) Jonathan Kapleau vs Sidhu, Paul Free French / Canadian win
2013-06-30(D) Gordon Jupp vs Martin Barker Free French / Canadian winR3 at Double One 13, close game with FF not doing a lot of damage when the Germans crossed the open ground, but made up for it in some CC.
2013-06-18(D) Ian Morris vs Gerard Burton German win
2012-11-12(A) Lee Hyde vs Nick Carter German winSo much open ground and the Free French high morale and stone buildings to hide in too. I was able to shimmy past both flanks when Nick was forced to cover one or the other. Liberal use of PF helped. Nick conceded T4 when I had 12 VCP's past or on row AA and whilst I may have lost some a HOB Leader generation certainly helped my position.
2012-08-17(D) Richard Carter vs Matt V. Free French / Canadian winThis one only went 3 turns. I broke all his squads and was able to eliminate most of his force w/ failure to route. His dice were against him though, I think he passed one MC. Still there is a lot of open ground to cross w/ no smoke.
