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)

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.
2020-09-20(A) David Garvin vs Loic Gourdon American winLoic had a pretty good set up, though maybe I would have had the 88s in a different spot. Still, a dice roll one way or the other and he wins.
2020-09-13(A) Craig Renier vs Bill Burtt German winAmericans made steady progress, but began to break in Turn 4. The German 88s were emplaced on woods hexes on the exit side. On the final turn one 88 retained rate and was able to break enough of the American force to attain a win.
2020-09-10(A) Jonathan Plott vs Craig Renier German winThe Americans had significant issues just getting on to the board; my opponent Craig R did a great job of breaking a number of my units as they tried to get organized in their assembly areas, and my DRs (today, at least) were such that units broken in Turn 1 in some cases stayed broken until turn 3. The Yanks tried forcing the center, and got rebuffed; they tried forcing the western flank and got stalled. By the time the Americans were able to reorganize a force of any strength, it was already turn 3. By Turn 4, the paratroopers were able to get some movement to the south, but it was too little, too late...the German defenses were able to completely stop any Americans reaching the victory conditions. Congratulations, Craig!
