Overview:

The Allied advance towards Antwerpen was finally running out of momentum, as logistics challenges increased and German resistance stiffened. One major obstacle was the Albert Canal, near the Dutch-Belgian border. The town of Geel was strategically located on the Canal and became-the focal point of heavy fighting between 7-10 September. On the 10th, the 6th Durham Light Infantry supported by the Sherwood Rangers pushed into Geel. They took up positions around the marketplace, while the German defenders retreated to north of the rail station. Later, the same day, German elite Fallschirmjäger and Jagdpanther tank destroyers of Panzerjäger-Abteilung 559 entered the fray.

2025-10-31(A) Paul Legg vs Chip Wertenberger German winFriday Night Fight - The Brits conceded during German turn 4 movement after the ATG malf'd on its first shot leaving an 8-0 and 457 squad to try and prevent the remaining German forces leaving in the remainder of this MPh.

For setup I split my forces into three groups; 2 and a half squads in the north with 8-1 leader, the dm mmg and purchased psk, in the centre 3 squads , one of which was deployed, the 7-0, a lmg and a JgPz, finally in the south were the remaining 4 squads, 9-1, an lmg and 2nd JgPz. The northern force was initially delayed by a solitary squad w lmg in the single hex building but with support from the centre group which met little resistance were able to clear the way. To the south the JgPz moved to I9 minus its rider who had been stripped by def fire.
