Overview:

The battle of Wons was a small but significant engagement during the German invasion of The Netherlands. The Germans were determined to outflank the heavily defended Afsluitdijk (enclosure dam) position at Kornwerderzand in the northern province of Friesland. Elements of the Dutch 1st Corps were tasked with defending the area and delaying the German advance. 200 men of the 22nd Infantry Regiment, led by Captain B. J. Smit, lay astride the line of attack. With only limited artillery support and a handful of automatic weapons, Smit's men set up ambush sites along the approaches to Wons before settling in to face the impend-ing assault.
Attacker: German (Reiter-Regiment 1 and 2 and Aufklärungs-Abteilung 1, Kavallerie-Division 1)
Defender: Dutch (223 Regiment Infanterie (R.I.))

2026-01-30(D) Savo Barbero vs Federico Corso Dutch winEnjoyable scenario where both attacker and defender are demanded to change plans and move often, with the attacker having a number of alternative approaches. I believe the victory conditions for the Germans are too harsh - Germans should use the balance or have 1 more turn
2026-01-21(A) Andy Bagley vs Luca Martini Dutch win7 hrsAn interesting and very exciting scenario, would be one of the best except that it's slightly pro-Dutch - Germans need balance or perhaps an extra turn. The Germans have a powerful force, but the complicated victory conditions require them to clear the Dutch from on/near a lengthy stretch of road whilst not losing as many casualty VPs as the Dutch.
I sent a small force to take the buildings on Board 9a, whilst most of my troops conducted a "left hook" through the woods towards the hill. This gave me some cover, but proved to be a long way round, with my opponent conducting a skilful fighting withdrawal. I also quickly found that the German armoured cars are very vulnerable to Dutch ATRs and the mortar, so had to keep these back out of the way for much of the game, which slowed me further.
In the end I got close, but not close enough to clear the final building at the top of board 10a. Still a very enjoyable game though.
