Overview:

As the second lift of Operation MARKET-GARDEN approached The Netherlands, the German and Dutch soldiers of SS-Wachbataillon "Nordwest" were finally positioned to command the trunk road leading to Arnhem from Drop Zone Y. Commanded by SS-Sturmbannführer Paul Anton Helle, these troops were accustomed to guarding concentration camps, not actual combat. However, the skirmishers of the King's Own Scottish Borderers fell back before them, leading the SS to conclude their British opposition was mediocre and would easily be routed. With the "Nordwest" battalion in position and fueled by the belief they would be facing poor quality troops; the Germans began attacking to clear the trunk road.
Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Wachbataillon III "Nordwest" with Heavy Weapons Company)
Defender: British (7th King's Own Scottish Borderers and 4th Parachute Brigade)

2024-10-24(D) nathan wegener vs Rich Domovic German (SS) winCould not pass morale checks.
2024-10-13(D) Juan Santacruz vs David Jones British win0.07 hrsVery goood scenario that went in the advancing fire phase of the last turn. The Germans are very brittle, but the British have to kill every single MMC. It´s very important to figure which side the German reinforcements will come, and that means that the British has to spread a lot; if the German can find a safe place to enter his heavy weapons, its going to be impossible for the British (David did it, but only got one rate with his MGs before breaking on a lucky shot). The initial British forces have to secure the entry hexes on l map, while hitting hard the on-board Germans and making difficult for the Germans to spread. Then the British reinforcements must do the hard work, but keeping an eye on the German reinforcements. Quite unusual scenario. Recommended.
2024-10-13(D) Juan Santacruz vs David Jones British winOpps, I was the British, and won. The previous report does not make sense otherwise.
2024-09-29(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best British win1.5 hrsAgain with the overlays...and the grain probably was best kept in the game. At any rate the 2 ELR Germans went down early and hard as the British hit them from two sides. The reinforcing Germans ran into a buzzsaw upon entry and all but the 9-1, crew with the MTR and a 4-4-7 didn't break. Germans conceded at that point.
