Overview:

In their attempts to stem the German advance to Calais and other port cities, the British dispatched the 3rd Royal Tank Brigade, composed of the 2nd king's Royal Rifles and the 1st Queen's Victoria Rifles. On 23 May, these units sallied aggressively out of Calais, attempting to breach the German line and, under a heavy rain, hit the 10th Panzer Division in the flank. In Guines, elements of a recon unit had already taken up positions with the support of an anti-tank gun. The British attempted to clear this force and continue their drive east.

2020-08-04(A) Raoul Duke vs JA British winUnforgiving to the defense, I think. Quickly overran the PaK 36, then took up HD positions behind the walls and engaged the panzers. With positions under heavy fire and rout paths cut, Germans surrendered.
2020-06-26(A) David Garvin vs Eric Groo British winFor HUMAN WAVE
2020-06-26(A) Andy Goldin vs Rich Domovic German winHUMAN WAVE 2020. Good game against a challenging opponent. I had a tough loss early on of my 9-1 to his sniper and foolishly lost a squad by moving through residual FP. The placement of his ATG caught me by surprise but it malf'd on an intensive fire shot and was flushed out by my accompanying infantry. Rich cleverly maneuvered one of his tanks behind my infantry moving through the woods in the south. My attempt to flush him out with one of my tanks resulted in its loss. My desperate acts of going into CC against his tank and a couple of his front line half squads ended unsuccessfully. At that point I no longer had enough infantry and conceded.
2020-06-12(A) Andy Goldin vs Stephen Worrel British winStephen had a good defense which couldn't survive his poor rolling. His hidden ATG couldn't get a kill, malf'd, and was then mopped up by my infantry moving through the southern woods. The tankers in the British light tank earned their pay by sleeze-freezing German infantry while the British AFV MG firepower got good effects on their counterparts in the buildings. The tank Stephen sent to the north by its lonesome was sleeze-freezed by my light tank and then outflanked. An MA shot within the hex malf'd his gun and I later got a mobility kill when he attempted to escape. The crew did not survive my tank's MG fire. With his remaining infantry broken, I surrounded his tanks with British armor and it was over.
