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 Airborne 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.

2025-01-03(D) Enrico Croce vs Enrico Croce German (SS) winThe germans won narrowly, mostly due to the british bad luck: if the british had made even a single better roll, it would had gone differently.
2024-12-27(D) Dan Best vs Bob P. British win1.5 hrsBritish knocked out two StuGs and only 15 CVP exited. Fun Scenario.
2024-10-25(A) Nicolas Leste-Lasserre vs German (SS) win
2024-06-25(D) Matt Quinton vs James British winThe HIP for the British makes all the difference, and taking out the AFVs is key to stopping the Germans getting the CVP off the board. I covered the north and the south with one of the 57Ls, but my opponent only really approached the north with his vehicles. An early shot got 1 out, then my gun was tied up in melee for several turns. As he was exiting my South gun managed to turn and fire taking out a second AFV, but it was a very slim line of sight that was only just successful. With 2 tanks out of the game, his chances to get infantry off board slowly whittled down to nothing.

Solo play (view)esparver732012-11-29 20:33:56
To play solo I devised a system based on SASL. I put some cloaking counters in good positions marked with either AT, PIAT or squad. Whenever German squads approached it following the SASL rules, I rolled 1-2 to activate the counter (and remove the other counters for the same unit). It worked pretty well. In my game at first the Germans entered well but then were stopped by fear of the AT and PIAT. They broke the first line of defense but a lone British squad wrecked the StuH. Then the landsers advanced and created an alley for the AFVs (one AT malf'd) and with these weapons engaged the two StuG exited the map and some squads more for a Germany victory.
