Overview:

The mission of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market-Garden was to secure the 15 miles of highway stretching from Eindhoven north to Veghel. The Screaming Eagles faced almost no opposition until the paratroopers reached the northern outskirts of the village of Zon. As the 1st Battalion entered the village with A Company in the vanguard, they were fired upon by a concealed heavy AA piece – the fabled German 88, one of several in place to protect the bridge from Allied bombers.
Attacker: American (1st and 2nd Batt., 506th PIR, 101st Airborne)
Defender: German (Selbstaendige FlaK Batterie, Flieger Division 7)

2021-01-25(A) Owen Edwards vs Solitaire German winThe most important thing, in retrospect, is realizing I misread the VCs and gave the US the entire board-edge to exit from - but they still lost. Quite tight and interesting until US Turn 5, when a large group of US Paras sought to exit from the "top" edge of the board (row p or so). Three different stacks moving vs essentially 4 shots (3 x normal, 1 x RFP) - the Germans rolled 4 or lower on everything, with one hex of smoke in place. One squad and a leader got through for 4 VP, the other leader and a squad were killed, the final squad was broken and routed back to the buildings, and did not rally. A desperate dash from a support column in US turn 6 was, inevitably, broken, though it survived a few of the many shots it had to face.

Interesting scenario, the 88s were fun to use (and fun to neutralise). Need to replay another time with the right VCs.
2021-01-20(A) Igor Luckyanov vs Igor Stolyarenko American win
2021-01-20(D) Igor Stolyarenko vs Igor Lukyanov American winAggressive tactics didn't help
2020-09-24(D) Scott Fischbein vs Craig Renier German winVery enjoyable game! Craig did a great job of pushing forward with his stalwart Americans, but had bad luck with smoke, while I had some excellent morale roles, including one squad that declined to break at least 7+ times! Still, he managed to come pretty close to getting the job done, exiting 5 pts worth of units. Good scenario for enforcing the need to keep moving!
2020-09-23(A) Craig Renier vs Scott Fischbein German winThe American player came up just short in the final turn. Despite not using Prep Fire the entire game, missed routing opportunities and one hesitant turn left the Americans with too much open ground to get a victory.
