Overview:
The British, Australian, New Zealand, and Greek troops of “W Force” were retreating down the Balkans, slowing the Germans at every pass and strongpoint, heading toward a “mini-Dunkirk” evacuation on southern Greece. But an important bridge ahead was taken by German glidermen who wanted to keep the bridge intact for use by their armored forces. For some inexplicable reason, the glider troops stripped the explosives from underneath the bridge and piled them on the bridge itself. During a counterattack by W Force, the explosives went off and destroyed the bridge. In the smoke of the ruined bridge, JU-52s began dropping two battalions of fallschirmjagers into the fight.Attacker: German (5 Kompanie, II Battalion, 2nd Fallschirmjäger Regiment)
Defender: Allied (Mixed Company Force "W"/British/Greek/ANZAC Corps)

2023-10-21 | (A) Dave Mareske | vs | Griffin Mareske | German win | My son is finally learning ASL. Yeah! We had a great game...it is hard on the Allies as the guns are spread out. Germans won in turn 4 in Close Combat. | |
2023-08-28 | (D) Justin DiSabatino | vs | Self | Allied win | Allied forces set up with the tree line running up column X as the base for the majority of their forces, though the Greeks held the buildings to the east in case the Germans tried to take force that route. Two Bofors east of the woodline and one to the west made the Germans choose to advance from north and south, attempting to overwhelm the guns with targets while cautiously advancing. This was going tremendously until a rate tear on the western Bofors in turn 4 decimated the German advance. The Germans still managed to bounce back and captured two guns, but fell short in a turn 6 rush to overwhelm the last gun. | |
2023-05-01 | (D) Andreas R | vs | Jenny | Allied win | ||
2023-03-26 | (A) Tony Fermendzin | vs | Bob W. | German win | This one looks tough for the ANZAC/Greek force. The Germans got off a lucky shot in the AFPh on T1 breaking one of the gun crews, and a second gun malfunctioned on T2. This did not leave the allied force with enough firepower to stop the German glider troops. | |
2022-07-28 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Slava Zipunov | Allied win (VASL Log) | Good re-learning game with returning player. | |
2022-06-16 | (D) Jim Liang | vs | Craig Renier | German win | ||
2022-06-16 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Jim Liang | German win | The Germans were faced with a solid defense concentrated on the East side of the board. The Germans approached from 3 angles hoping to remove any rout paths for the British. The defense was able to initially hold off the attackers. However, one gun malfunctioned and another crew broke on a low odds shot shattering the flank. There was little left for the British to do as the attackers overwhelmed the remaining defenders. | |
2022-06-14 | (D) Shane Pask | vs | Allied win | Unknowingly played with Allied Balance when I discovered I had an extra Greek Squad on turn 3. Spread the guns out to force the Germans to spread out. This worked in my favour when a squad self rallied on turn 5 (all ANZAC leaders were dead) and recaptured a gun. Germans had to scramble to reach the gun (the other 2 were secure) which they did but then had to win the CC for victory. No result gave me the win. | ||
2022-04-29 | (A) Doba Serge | vs | Simon G | German win | ||
2022-04-10 | (A) Eric Partizan Eric | vs | Allied win | |||
2022-02-06 | (A) Richard Jenulis | vs | Joseph Novak | German win | ||
2022-01-08 | (A) Artem Kalinovskii | vs | Dmitry Klyuykov | Allied win | ||
2022-01-08 | (D) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Artem Kalinovskii | Allied win | The game result was uncertain till the last DC blow. Allied solid defence line was broken after several anomal sequential 4 FP shots, which broken and casualty reducted more than half of Allied OB, but the last gun survived the massacre. | |
2022-01-01 | (D) Ethan Delwood | vs | Robert Delwood | German win | Really tough game for the Allies, at least in our experience. Allies centered around building P7 and Bofars had terrible luck against a slow but steady German infiltration through wheatfield BB3, resulting in a captured gun and one breaking on it's second fire. Allies resigned. | |
2021-11-03 | (D) santiago jimenez | vs | Arshish | German win | ||
2021-10-30 | (D) Jim Liang | vs | Mick Bedard | German win | ||
2021-08-31 | (A) Jonathan Plott | vs | Moreno Santo Cesar | Allied win | ||
2021-08-16 | (D) César Moreno | vs | Jon Plott | Allied win (VASL Log) | Amazing game that came really down to the wire. Jon did a terrific job at eliminating my units via "failure to rout". Turn 5 and I have so few units in play, when one of my Guns malf. Turn 6 and I have only three crews, one HS and a wounded 7-0 leader locked in melee. Germans have 2 SQ, 3 HS and 2 leaders (with 3 DC) adjacent to my guns. At the end, just one Bofors gun survives the German attack. Enough to claim victory! | |
2021-08-07 | (A) Itinerant Hobbyist | vs | Self | Allied win | Germans took out two of the Bofors, the second one in the last turn. The last bofors took 6-7 reaction shots. pretty fun | |
2021-06-20 | (D) Mark Thompson | vs | Heloanjin (Germans) | German win | Commonwealth Bofors set up in mutually-supporting triangle at edges of grain on eastern side of board. Extracted frightful toll on Germans in turns 1 and 2 with IFE, rate run, and good rolls. To add insult to injury, plucky Greek HS held off northern wing of German attack with ridiculous rolls and CC win. Germans eventually overwhelmed and captured Bofors with effective use of smoke and sequential movement and inability of Commonwealth screening force to move into to blocking position. Game is featured on June 27th Stew Stewart Tactical Tuesday video. | |
2021-04-24 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Melnikov | German win | ||
2021-04-15 | (A) Arshish Kapadia | vs | Allied | Allied win (VASL Log) | This was played as part of Stew's ASL Skills Tournament, Round 2. The game went down to the wire ... to the second last die roll. | |
2021-04-15 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Arshish | Allied win (VASL Log) | The Germans entered from four directions preventing the British from being able to concentrate any FP. The German advance was slowed by accurate British shots. By Turn 3, with 1 leader killed, two leaders wounded, and a number of MMCs broken the German advance came to a halt. The tide quickly turned on Turn 4 when an Allied MMC and a crew broke. The Germans regrouped and pushed for the final gun. On the final turn, the Germans lost in CC against the British crew. On the British turn, the Germans eliminated all but one British MMC, which was left broken in the grain. However, the final gun had not been captured giving the British the win. | |

2020-09-04 | (D) David Garvin | vs | Loic Gourdon | Allied win | ||
2020-07-29 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Kevin Sanders | German win | Allied defense held up well in the initial 2 turns. A broken AA and no ROF for the other 2 AA in turn 3 lead to a quick collapse. Allies conceded in turn 3. | |
2020-06-05 | (A) David Stoffey | vs | Eric Duckworth | German win | ||
2020-03-31 | (D) Javier Rodrigo Ballesteros | vs | Teseo | Allied win | ||
2020-03-25 | (A) Macari Samuel | vs | O Ramaille | Allied win | My strategy was to strike hard and fast against the Greeks and to take control of the first two Guns at the first turns. But a strong british defense in the end of the game blocked the last assault. | |
2020-03-25 | (D) O Ramaille | vs | Macari Samuel | Allied win | The British set up their AA guns in the grain separated by the central wood as a routing cover. The German Fallschirmjägers attacked frontally the small hamlet held by some Greek units. The Greek stood ground and efficiently delayed the first assault wave. The Germans turned the Greek stronghold and destroyed a first AA gun. The second AA gun resisted a few turns before being captured. To get to the last gun, the Germans needed to assault the woods where the British infantry waited. With the help of accurate fire, the British caused sever casualties among the Germans that prevent them to get close to the last AA gun. A final British Victory. | |
2020-01-15 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Fedor Grachev | German win | ||
2019-12-18 | (D) Jacob Elmqvist | vs | Ingemar Gardell | German win | ||

2019-07-22 | (A) Vilis Pavulans | vs | Tim Hundsdorfer | Allied win | ||
2019-03-03 | (A) Vic Lauterbach | vs | BL/RC | German win | German attack struggled for three turns to clear the Greeks out of the W4-W6 woods but after they collapsed, one gun in the grain fell quickly, and the Aussies in building EE4 couldn't save the last one. Fun scenario that was very close until GT5. | |

2017-02-05 | (D) J M | vs | German win | I don't fancy the allies in this one. The Germans have a steamroller so it felt like it was about when rather than if. | ||
2016-12-22 | (A) David Garvin | vs | Craig Stark | German win | ||
2016-08-06 | (A) Tom Abromaitis | vs | Draw | Allied win. Solo. | ||

2016-01-06 | (D) lorenzo panarello | vs | Ronald | German win | ||
2015-08-11 | (A) JP Laurio | vs | Ron | German win | ||
2014-06-12 | (A) Lee Hyde | vs | Steve Ambruzs | German win | Awkward for the Allies as setup was quite close to North Board Edge, and with the Axis coming on both flanks losses from FTR were the deciding factor. Guns were deadly, and a few rate tears were experienced but too many Pins rather than KiA's resulted. | |
2014-02-05 | (D) Merric Blackman | vs | Michael Elshaug | Allied win | ||
2014-01-04 | (D) Michael Focht | vs | David Garber | Allied win | ||
2012-10-24 | (D) O Ramaille | vs | Allied win | The British AA guns were placed in the middle of the grain fields to benefit from hindrance DRM (and emplaced of course). The germans Fallschirmjäger rushed from the east but their assault was stopped by the guns and the mixed Greek and Australian infantry. Lot of fighting in the grain field. But the germans suffered too many losses and rout to hope to capture the guns. Only one gun was disabled and 22 exhausted german survivors retreat from the battlefield. Complete Allied Victory. | ||
2012-10-23 | (A) O Ramaille | vs | british | German win | German victory at the end of british Turn 3. The german fallschirmjäger formed two assault groups from the North West and South east. German fire was more accurate than british guns and quickly the crews routed. Greek and australian tried to protect the guns with no effect. | |
2012-06-01 | (A) mark watson | vs | Christopher Bennell | German win | Seems challenging for the Allies. | |
2011-12-18 | (D) Stefan C | vs | osterhuasm | Allied win | Consistently low Greek dice blunted the offensive. I spread my guns out, which ended up working great by spreading out the German attack as well. Fun for learning IFE | |
2011-02-27 | (D) Nick Rusch | vs | Jim Aikens | German win | ||
2010-09-18 | (D) Kermit Mullins | vs | Scott Waites | Allied win | British kept Germans routed early in game and Germans couldn't get enough momentum in the early turns to secure the win. | |
2010-08-07 | (D) Martí Cabré | vs | Miguel Llorca | Allied win | Miguel is a padawan and I showed him how to properly set up the British guns against a strong German attack. | |
2010-06-12 | (A) Miikka Sohlman | vs | Matti Holsti | Allied win | ||
2010-03-08 | (A) John Shingara | vs | Cliff Smith | Allied win | I set up poorly and played catch up the entire game. | |
