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.

2020-02-22(D) David Garvin vs Christian Knudsen British winWhat a match. Had a bunch of long-odds shots go both ways. But not one Heat of Battle!

In the end, the Brits just kept pushing and held on in spite of a spirited German Counterattack.
2020-02-02(A) Shane Pask vs German winSo many boxcars for the poms! 4 out of 5 MA malfèd and 1 BMG. Also Pz IV had no AP but 2 consecutive HEAT rounds for kills. Poms only had 3 buildings by last turn and mad dash for victory was thwarted when two squads were pinned short of their destinations.

2018-05-17(D) Louis Langdeau vs Lee M British winI got completely trashed. First time out with serious amounts of armor, and it showed. I had some difficulty understanding what armor was able to do, and how it should be used. In that sense, at the very least, this was a very enlightening game. Lee rolled right over some troops I left behind a wall in the open, eating a good amount of my already sparse troops and completely collapsing my flank. I destroyed two of his five tanks on the way in with my concealed gun, but poor usage of my own armor soon after left me with only my 75*. After the rest of my squads broke on turn 4, it was over. I feel like I can see some of the ways that armor effects the game now, and will try to take that into consideration during a re-read of the rules.
