2024-10-14(A) O Ramaille vs Macari Samuel German winThe German setup area is very close to the objectives. The British defense was mostly in the buildings with some units spread to avoid flanking maneuvers. The German initial assault was very successful in breaking several British units with some lucky DR. Quickly, the first building was captured. And at this point before the arrival of the first AFV reinforcements, only one good order British squad was available and the German force remained quite unmolested. With so little infantry left (and only AFV available as reinforcements), the British decided to give up. A strange scenario, where the British felt they could do nothing but suffer German might.
2023-07-29(D) nathan wegener vs Gary Bradley British winChateau of Thick Walls in this game. Occupants survived 5 IFT attacks of 16 +4 and two direct hits from 75L HE with no results. My highlight was entering a carrier driving through a Marder hex stopping and unloading behind it and then taking it out in CC.

2022-12-04(D) Michael Rodgers vs John Gorkowski German winWe diced for sides; after playing it, I wished we hadn't. German infantry with 3 AFV, 1 flak wagon try for selected buildings vs infantry reinforced by carriers, then by 3 AC in 1944. The AC can't be useful unless the Germans have started very poorly. I had the misfortune of a sniper recall on the MMG carrier before the infantry could remove the MMG. The British need some help in this one. When the AC entered, I was down to two buildings and 2.5 squad equivalents. I conceded soon after the AC entered, took up position and were destroyed.
