Overview:

The German fort at Point de Corsen, a rocky promontory five miles north of the Graf Spee Battery that is one of the westernmost points on the French mainland, was garrisoned by a force defined by an American intelligence report as ’50 in number, thirty to fifty years old, mostly coast guardsmen… supplied by fishing boats from Brest.’ On the evening of August 28 a task force comprised of Companies A and C of Rudder’s 2nd Ranger Battalion moved up and prepared to assault that position. It looked like a tough mission, but the task force commander, Capt. Edgar Arnold, was a veteran of the early-morning Omaha Beach assault on D-Day, and compared to that cataclysm, this job would in all likelihood be easy because the enemy garrison apparently did not have its heart in such a hopeless cause. In fact, part of the garrison attempted to escape during the night, and French partisans killed ten of them. . . . This is the only scenario here that does not use either tanks or guns, but it makes up for this with an unusual set of combatants and an Allied force composition that changes each time you play it. Set in France in 1944, a German unit comprised mainly of 2nd line troops is attacked by two separate forces: one force is made up of elite American Rangers cooperating with poorly-trained and poorly-equipped Free French irregulars; the second force is a group of escaped Russian POWs who have rearmed themselves in order to fight the Germans!
Attacker: Allies (Company A, 2nd Rangers / Free French of the Interior (FFI) / Russian rearmed POWs)

2022-01-04(D) Artem Kalinovskii vs Dmitry Klyuykov Allies win
2022-01-04(A) Dmitry Klyuykov vs Artem Kalinovskii Allies winI've got SSR 1 #1 with 15 VP, 3 x 6-6-7 and 9 x 5-3-6 squads. After seeing initial German setup, I've decided to rush for the hill control from the both sides, but was able even to disarm most German units around the hill.
2021-11-09(A) Owen Edwards vs Solitaire Allies winAn interesting but sometimes strange scenario. Americans needed 18VP, ended up causing 16VP casualties and had 5 hexes under control at end. Their first attacks came from the eastern American force and the Russians, but both struggled in open ground. Russians particularly struggled with MCs and Rallies. Thereafter these groups served to pin and hold German forces whilst other Americans (including their MMG and other transfers from the east) came up the western slope into the woods. Germans couldn't whackamole controlled hexes quickly enough by the end. Gamey.
2021-09-26(A) César Moreno vs Vilis Pavulans German winMy opponent wrote this: "The partisan units made a rush to try to help the oncoming americans and free French who did a strong rush on the eastern flank. The partisans took heavy fire and were almost annihilated which of course made the german option to retreat in accordance with SSR2 very appealing. The germans managed to get some accurate MG fire on the americans killing a few squads in total and the americans stalled when they got up the hill. A massive firefight leaving heaps of units on both sides broken but the americans didn´t manage to control enough hexes on the hill and then the germans could swiftly run away and evacuate. " (I'm lazy :)
