Overview:

An epic of disastrous proportions was looming for the BEF as the panzers neared the French Channel ports. If they fell, the BEF would be bereft of supplies – and evacuation. To Boulogne was shipped the 20th Guards Brigade. During the night of May 22nd, the Germans completed the encirclement of the port. At 0730, the whirlwind struck the Irish Guards. . .

2020-01-22(D) Shane Pask vs British winCombined a good set up with great rolls. The hill and right flank stood fast while the left flank fell back lowly. By turn 5 the Germans had too few remaining to reach exit VP so they turned their attention to the hill and almost succeeded in clearing it. The right flank responded and held one edge of the hill for the win. Interesting footnote: at one stage I considered manning an abandoned German tank on the hill with an infantry HS hoping the armour would protect them until game end. Unfortunately the squad broke before it could get inside.
