The Germans had bottled up the Allies and casualties on both sides were mounting. The Wessex Division was scheduled to be pulled out of the line and replaced by the American 101st Airborne Division in Opheusden, a town not far from the Rhine, near the railroad line that served this part of the Netherlands.

2023-01-13(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins British/American winFirst to play and post.
2023-01-13(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British/American winThis is a tough scenario and kind of a head scratcher. The German force is uber powerful, except for a dreadful ELR, which saps the German 4-4-7's. The range is too close for a German HMG and 4 x LMG's...oh and two STUG's. The British have to survive for two turns in order for the Americans to show up. Dan's Germans had three kill stacks opportunity fire to little effect on Turn 1. 4 Half-squads stressed the British defenses, but they held. The STUG's race around to the rear. In British phase of Turn 2 - the 57L managed to KIA one STUG and shock the second. Then 3 x 7-4-7's and the 9-1 joined the fight and eliminated the shocked STUG in CC. The Germans came on and were shattered and ELR'd by the heavy American fire. But the game would end with a MELEE in place in T5, which would give the Americans a victory, but only barely. Rough scenario for both players.
2023-01-13(D) Jack Wilson vs ? German winFirst scenario in my WO 2023 day. Strange SSR with the Brits and Americans trying to rotate mid-battle. As usual, my limited tactical skills were not up to the challenge. The good part: it is a fast-playing scenario.
