Overview:

Shortly after after the fall of the Golf Hotel, a platoon of scour cars entered downtown Hyeres. They crossed through the northern portion of town and reached the western edge. There they came under fire from several German 88s and quickly turned back toward the center of town. Growing crowds gave the liberators an enthusiastic welcome and thoroughly clogged the streets. But it was the presence of the 88s that truly prevented further movement to the west. General Brosset decided to halt the advance and clear the southwest part of town. The 21st March Battalion received orders to attack and formed a column of scout cars, marines, light tanks, and tank destroyers. The plan was to rapidly skirt the western edge of town and cut off the Germans' expected path of retreat.

2023-01-23(D) Pascal Boileau vs Laurent Tinture Free French winMisplaced some German units during the setup added to the inspired playing of Laurent and the result was a decisive victory for the Free French side at the end of turn 5. Nevertheless, it was an Interesting scenario.
2019-02-14(D) Peter Palmer vs John Knowles German winBy the barest of Margins, holding on by the skin of my teeth to the second Multi Story building because the encircled 436 on lvl 2 would not break and there was a unbroken german crew meatshield on the central staircase at level 1 preventing last turn control.
2010-12-15(A) Fred Ingram vs Dave McLee Free French winI would not recommend the Germans trying the exit victory conditions. Rather, would hunker down and hold 2 buildings. With the HIP squads, the French will have to search or mop up everywhere to prevent a last turn surprise. My opponent conceded, but I think too soon. I don't think he wanted to slog through the cat & mouse procedure for the last 2 large buildings
