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)

2023-02-25(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs British win
2022-12-01(D) Craig Renier vs Bob W British winThe German attacked was focused on the north flank. A risky move of 2 MMCs with a leader in open ground gave the British an opening. The first British unit revealed itself but had no effect. A 2nd British unit could not resist the opportunity, revealed itself, and broke the entire stack. This stack would not rally for 1 1/2 turns, delaying the German advance. The Germans eventually were able to cross the road in the center, but two AFVs were wrecked by a British ATG. The remaining units were too far from the exit side to make it off the board and the game was called on Turn 4.
2022-08-28(A) davide galloni vs Marco Bria British win
2022-04-03(D) Jonathan Plott vs Bill Ryder British winPlayed this against another relative newbie at the most excellent Where the Iron Crosses Grow Tournament this past weekend. The game was a very near run thing with Bill getting two of his Stugs and an officer SMC off the edge of the map for 15 VPs...but a last-second Pin of the one squad that was in a position to make it off the board secured the British win. 17 VPs needed for a SS victory and got 15. As the British, playing with your entire force HIP while FTF was a new experience for me (had been playing VASL exclusively for the past two years for obvious reasons). Thank heaven for iPhone cameras! Great game Bill!
