Overview:

The British Expeditionary Force was retreating across Belgium. The 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards reinforced by 18-pounder field guns served as a rear guard, deployed through the outskirts of Brussels. At noon German armored cars, motorcycle troops and a self-propelled gun raced past two tank troops and gained a road in the British rear area. The British cavalrymen found that the enemy was all around and now between them and their supporting artillery. . .

2015-10-06(D) David Yllanes vs John Bays British winThis is a very original scenario, with both sides attacking and interesting forces selection. I lost too many tanks at the beginning to MG fire and it took me a while to understand what I wanted to do. I definitely want to replay this one.
2015-05-15(D) Michael Rodgers vs Will Willow German winI lost a tank in bidding for the British. Don't do that; play straight up. Will brought the reinforcements in slowly, including pushing a 37 onto the board. The on-board Germans gave the British a lot of trouble before going down. The Brits had some malfunctions and repairs. After five turns, it was obvious the Germans would win.
2015-05-11(D) Michael Rodgers vs Bruno L'Archeveque British winBrits sent 5 carriers and one tank after the Germans on board, leaving 4 tanks and 2 ATR carriers to block the reinforcements. Smoke helped the Brits take on the Germans on board, but there were still a lot of infantry losses. After three turns of play, the German player felt he had too many losses to win.
