Overview:

On the day that Operation MARKET-GARDEN officially ended, the 7th Somerset Light Infantry was ordered to capture the crossroads in the center of Elst. Supported by a troop of tanks, the Somersets jumped off at 1000 hours on either side of the main street of Elst, moving towards the Nijmegen-Arnhem Highway through the dense town with its houses and small orchards. Major Knaust, however, was not yet ready to give up the town.

2021-10-21(D) Ian Morris vs Gerard British winA close game, Brits won on last CC phase.
2021-07-12(A) Doba Serge vs Pascal Boileau British win
2021-07-12(D) Pascal Boileau vs Serge Doba British winDespite a bad setup for the Germans (my side), it was not so easy for the British troops to progress towards the North of the map and to occupy the buildings. The smoke of the OBA helped a lot in the first turns of play. Ferocious CC at turn 6 gave a decisive advantage for the British. The end of the game was decided in the last CC... and as usual in this kind of situation (i.e. the issue of the game is decided on the last DR), I lost !
2020-08-19(D) Kevin Sanders vs Rob Brown German (SS) win
2020-07-25(D) Kevin Sanders vs Eric Topp German (SS) winFast win for Germans - Managed 1 dead Sherman, no OBA (2 red cards in a row), some broken squads/ldrs and a broken Hvy MG the was fixed next phase in 1.5 turns forcing the Brits to surrender - Hard to win without OBA for Brits
2020-07-07(A) Kevin Sanders vs Derek Dunn British winFun scenario that went down to the very last die roll. That roll was one of 2 melee in a VC building. Brits needed a win or stall and Germans just needed a win of the melee to win the game. Brits lucked out. Game featured a couple solid OBA hits and 2 red cards fairly early ---arg. A great collapsing defense by Germans and lots of tough choices,
2018-10-29(A) O Ramaille vs German (SS) winDespite the numbers and OBA that provided both smoke cover and effective bombardment of the church, the British attack stalled in front of accurate shots and high morale determination of the SS troops. Two Sherman tanks were quickly turned to wreck by the hidden At gun and the last disabled his MA. OBA artillery silenced both the AT gun and the HMG in the steeple. But two many SS were still rumbling around. A German victory.
2016-05-15(D) JP Laurio vs Arttu British win
2014-07-16(D) Marc Guénette vs MArtin Marquis British winThe game ended on the last melee on the last possible turn. Extreme chaos for the British for the first 3 turns, then it got all settled. Good systematic approach. OBA and Steeple gets the scenario closer to full ASL. My last Good condition squad got KIA on the last die roll. Fun.
