German (SS)British
Overview:
The British perimeter outside the city of Arnhem was steadily shrinking. Four days after dropping north of the Rhine, the paratroops and glidermen of the 1st Airbourne Division were running critically short of supplies and men. The Germans were massing their forces, and it seemed that they would crush the perimeter before 30 Corps, the ground portion of the market-Garden offensive, could reach them. With nowhere to go, the airborne troops did what they had been trained to do, defend the airhead. . . . A small group of British infantry, with two anti-tank guns, must hold off a German force supported by three armored assault guns. All of the British units may use hidden setup, so the German player will see nothing but a empty map as he begins his attack.Attacker: German (SS) (SS-Kampfgruppe Harder)
Defender: British (2nd Batt., South Staffordshire Regiment)

| 2021-09-06 | (A) Jonathan Plott | vs | Stephen Stewart | British win | Best laid plans...yadda yadda yadda. Entire force was going along the southern (lower) edges of the board. Attempted to push my infantry forward to screen the advance of my AFV's. Had to get at least two of them off the board to have even a chance of victory. For 2 turns, was doing well (I thought) until the T3 MPh and Stew's impeccably placed 6-pounders opened up on my moving StuGs and killed them all. Brit victory in two and half turns. I learned a lot...thanks for the game, Stew! |

| 2021-08-22 | (D) César Moreno | vs | Mark Thompson | British win | |
| 2021-04-12 | (A) Chris Anthony | vs | Craig Renier | British win (VASL Log) | A very well placed defense. The German northern arm was quickly reduced to a HS and wreck of the StuG. The main German force pushed up to the orchard road in the middle of town, but was thwarted when trying to cross. After a delay to rally most of the squads, the Germans were able to make it to the base of the two hills. Again the push stalled, but victory was still possible, if not likely. A dash to the exit failed when the first StuG was smoked by the last AT gun. |
