Overview:

At the beginning of spring 1945, the Allied armies launched their last offensive against the Reich. The SS Dutch division "Landstorm Nederland" had its modest means deployed around Arnhem and the division found itself in the front line when the Allies went onto the attack in this sector. Operation "Quick Anger" began on 12 April with the 49th Infantry Division as the main British unit committed to battle together with Canadian troops.
Attacker: German (SS Friwilligen Division | Panzerjager Abteilung 684)

447 in this scenario are NOT SS, although they do belong to Landstorm Nederland.Gamesquad Discussion: LFT
The 548 and 447 are SS. 1a. May a 4-4-7 squad begin the scenario deployed ? Yes. 1b. May a 5-4-8 attempt to deploy in the first RPh ? Yes. 2. Are the 4-4-7s SS (i.e. have a broken ML of 8) ? Yes.LFT Website 7/28/2013
Despite belonging to a SS unit, these troops were weak, not motivated, and under equipped compared to ASL use and rules of SS units. The counters used and the designation of the unit itself should be sufficient to know if a unit is or is not SS, Guard or such other Elite formation. The 4-4-7's in this scenario are NOT SS, although they do belong to Landstorm Nederland.FInal determination on Gamesquad Forum from Xavier

2022-11-11(A) nathan wegener vs Will Willow German winNTX Shootout push into the village lost one of the French tanks with the second failing ESB In the street. Sherman moved up to strike and was hit by the PSK on a tight LOS shot.
2021-01-16(A) Simon Staniforth vs German winGermans had the dice in this one, the British reinforcing tank Malfed its MA on the first shot then a side CH from a Pz R35(f) did for it. The 5-4-8s advanced cautiously, morale holding up, and Advancing Fire FG shots 12 / 16 FP saw the British regularly break. No luck with the PIATs, this left the German tanks free to Sleaze Freeze, allowing the infantry to close up and mop up the final units. It’s even on the Archive / ROAR having the British tank in play for longer would make a big difference
2018-02-18(A) Andy Beaton vs Jonathan Kay British winDown to the last CC for the 6th building, but I had lost too many troops to get good odds.
