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. |
| 2021-04-11 | (D) Craig Renier | vs | Chris Anthony | British win | Despite losing a full squad to a CH shot from one StuH early, the British defense held its own, bolstered by eliminating one StuG with an AT gun on Turn 2. The German advance was deliberate leaving the British with few options for defensive fire, but the defense kept the advance from gaining too much ground. The British defense was also helped by below average IFT rolls followed by above average German MCs. On the final turn the German made a final push needing to use the road beneath both hills in order to reach the board edge. The second British AT gun had remained HIP and finally revealed adjacent to a moving AFV and successfully destroyed it. |
| 2021-02-05 | (D) O Ramaille | vs | Gerard Vandervelden | British win | The German entered the city and soon suffered some fire from a hidden British unit when some troops crossed an orchard road. The Stugs moved North but Johnny and his men suddenly jumped out from a house and destroyed on of them in CC. The British defended with ferocity preventing the Germans to move forward. Dave and his men first destroyed a halfsquad using their PIAT then moved in CC killing a German squad and its leader. The last two Panzers tried to escape but met the efficient fire from the AT gun. A full British victory. |
