Overview:

While refueling and reloading shells expended during the raid on Arras, a tank crew belonging to Lt. Harold McGreggor was brewing tea when they were alerted to the presence of a German column advancing along the road into the rear areas north of Arras. McGreggor quickly organized the Security and Supply Company into fire teams while his crew finished loading the last of the 40mm shells into their racks. As McGreggor mounted his tank, the sounds of approaching motorcycles could be heard. A cloud of dust and roar of engine noise announced their arrival as dozens of motorcycles appeared at the end of the street. McGreggor lowered his head through the hatch and ordered his Matilda into motion.

2021-03-02(A) S. Slunt vs Paul Chamberland British winEvery one knows that against a Half competent British player that this Scenario is at least 75% pro British right? Indestructible tank with a 9-2 Armor Leader, No Cower, Hip MMC, Two mobile 36 Goliath like Trucks. Stone buildings to sit in, 8 ? counters and to top it off Bore siting and a SAN of 5.
Germans come from off board have to be on sidecars (they could move further with out them off road) - 8 squads vs 5 1/2 and 2 Crews to man 1 Gun so in essence 6 1/2 squad equivalents. The Germans have to remove all Good order British Infantry from 3 hexes of the middle of the Board- Roar has them closer but Roar does not tell you who is playing whom. This scenario should never see the light of day at another tournament. That is my two cents worth.
2015-11-06(A) Michael Rodgers vs Bill Slunt British winI split the German force and regretted it. I also had trouble deploying, which slowed down my clearing of potential HIP locations.
2014-08-13(D) Will Willow vs J. Cribbs German winVASL
2013-11-02(A) Andy Hershey vs Wayne Saunders German win[Imported from ROAR]
2013-05-12(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Enrico Granata British winMy opponent drove one of his sidecar in the location BSed by the MG and promptly lost a squad to a 3DR. Another lucky shot lost him a squad and a leader. After that he gave up any thought of driving sidecars ... the Matilda brewed up a Pz38 but by armor piearcing shell bounced off the PzIV armor which was able to find an Heat and flaming my AFV.
The 20L AA Gun accomplished nothing except a record string of 9 shot.
The ammunition truck were feared by destroyed with no loss for my opponent.
In the end the loss of 2 squad and 1 leader was too much to overcame and I won with all my OOB intact (except the AFV and the GUN)
2012-10-18(A) Simon Staniforth vs German win
2011-02-25(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Christoffer Payne British winThis was a nice one. It was adjudicated by the judges to the German at the Scandinavian Open, since I didn't agree with the verdict my opponent graciously agreed on playing on to the end, and he lost.
Nice scenario.
2011-02-25(D) fabrizio da pra vs Hans Bugge British win

2010-12-16(A) Paolo Cariolato vs fdpra Drawvery nice scenario, Love those trucks.
2010-11-27(D) Jeff T vs JVan British winOA29 - The Amy H JVan - Germans attacking me - British defending British Win. The Germans split their attack and looked to be in good position, but an active sniper in the South (initially) and an exploding ammo truck took their toll, stalling the southern flank and preventing the Germans from taking the key Z6 4-hex building until turn 5. JVan was hot and cold with the dice, 3 boxcar casualty reductions (and a wonded 9-1 leader) were the result of some bad rolls from the sniper and ammo truck morale checks. On the positive side, one of his PzKpw 38 (37L MA) rolled 3 snake eyes in the scenario, putting the first off the side of a building (no LOS!), the 2nd into a full squad, breaking them, and the most dramatic on a size shot to destroy the British Matilda! He also had a pinned squad that was jumped by a concealed British squad in CC roll snakes on a 1-4 attack, however there was no leader created. That was it in a nutshell for JVan's Germans. Hot and cold, but he couldn't get the rolls when he needed them. They pushed the British back to the X2/W3/W4/W5/X5 buildings but the British broke a German squad on British turn 5 in Y7 and a concealed unit advanced back into the building. That was too much for the Germans to take back on a final turn 6 and the conceded, not having enough good order units to push the British out. It was a fun scenario with lots of ups and downs. A PzIV broke it's MA, as did the French AA gun in the center of the square. The British sniper and the British squad manning the MMG in AA7 for 4 turns were the mvps for the scenario.
