Overview:

"Semper Paratus" (Latin for "Always Ready") was the motto of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry Regiment. Lieutenant C.P. J. Des Groseillers urged his straining men to push again. D Company had found a German 75mm antitank gun in the ruins of Oorderen. The breech had been hidden and the weapon left in the town center with some 200 rounds of ammunition. Well it just so happened that an enterprising scrounger had found this curious metal block. Lt. Des Groseillers did a little work. Now D Company had its own artillery. Everyone knew that C Company was going to be attacking the German bunker line north of the town. D Company would make sure that Jerry got back his 75mm shells. Perhaps in a slightly used condition. The Rileys looked out for their own. Note: The town of Oorderen was demolished in 1965, to expand the Port of Antwerp.

2025-02-22(A) Diane Spangler vs Dan Hyer Canadian win
2024-12-29(D) Chris Larkin vs Canadian win0.33 hrsCanadians were able to RoF smoke between the gun and the MTR to mask all the pillbox approaches on the first turn. Germans could not do anything for two turns. Perhaps if the Canadians did not have the option to move in behind the pillboxes from offboard to the east/west it would be easier to have more opportunities to defend as the Germans by not having to cover so many approaches.

This one seems to hinge entirely on how successful the Canadians are with smoke on the early turns.
2024-10-20(A) Stephane Nolet vs Gabriel Nolet German winThe Canadians missed the victory by a turn. The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry eliminated all but one German squad, but was only controlling one Pillbox at the end of turn 4. The Pak 40 performed poorly being broken on turn 2 (B#10 and TH Red numbers and +2 TH DRM for a capured Ordnance) The Canucks were unable to repair the PAK 40 the squad manning it broked and had to rout. Fortunately the 51 mm Mortar layed some SMOKE to cover the attack. The Canadians were lucky with 3 SAN resulting ine three broken squads that were easily defeated in CC thereafter and they also rolled 2 Heat of Battle resulting in a Hero Creation and a Berserk squad that eliminated a 8-0 and a squad in CC. With another movement phase the Canadians would have controlled 4 Pillboxes but instead they only were controlling one Pillbox at game's end resulting in a German Win.
2022-11-12(A) Allen Evenson vs Mark Bergin German winI had chances at CC against Pill Boxes early but didn't get the rolls. Should have used smoke more.
