Overview:

The appalling conditions in the northern end of the Dunkirk pocket made carrying out even the simplest of Allied operations particularly problematic. Nevertheless, local counter-attacks were staged to upset the German advance and to gain precious time for the evacuation efforts. Many of the German units involved in the fighting were worn down by the headlong drive across the Low Countries; both men and equipment were feeling the strain of the advance. Added to the strain was the stiffening of Allied resistance in the ever constricting Dunkirk pocket, forcing the Germans to only absorb the occasional Allied counter-attack, which during the final days of the Dunkirk evacuation, allowed more men to be rescued.

2022-04-23(A) Doba Serge vs Samuel M French win
2021-12-27(A) Paul Works vs James True French winGreat, tight scenario. James had a good setup (surprising me with one of his AT guns). I threw a tread on one of my tanks during startup on Turn 2 that was not good, but was able to keep moving forward. He took out another tank with his 37L, but I passed my TCs to keep my last tank moving. I was also able to slip by on the board edge to get the victory. Well played by James.
2021-01-06(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winMy French managed to exit two tanks, but my infantry couldn't cross the stream of death. Good win for Dan...but not a particularly fun scenario for me.
2021-01-06(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
2020-12-28(D) Indy Lagu vs Alan Hildebrandt German win8 first line French squads supported by 3 H35 have to cross a stream and exit
through 5 Germans squads with 2 coming in as reinforcements.

Alan split his infantry evenly. The German 50* MTR and an AT gun ruled the day.

The French need to get off at least 3VP of infantry; only managed to exit 1VP.

Tough on the French. As the Germans, I felt I was always on the edge of disaster.
