2021-09-09(D) nathan wegener vs James Treu Commonwealth winThe landing on the north side of the hill and the initial German assault went well. My 9-2 took a sniper bullet which exposed the flank. He captured the close AA gun and got the RCL into position, but couldn't touch the squad in the VC hex at the crest due to dust. My defense (with 1 squad+LMG turned loose in Turn 3) solidified at the south side of the level 3 hill and raked the Germans any time they risked moving forward. I was able to create a human wall to block access to the victory hex in the last turn. Continuation of our Kreta campaign.
2020-11-28(A) Simon Staniforth vs German win
2017-09-15(A) Ruben Rigillo vs Francesco Berucci Commonwealth win
2012-05-29(D) Steve Bowen vs JH Commonwealth winFantastic but unpredictable scenario. In this case the Germans had a poor landing and were never able to really crack the Commonwealth defense. Great scenario of a manageable size for learning gliders.
2011-11-27(A) Fred Ingram vs Jeff Coleman German winThe combination of the enforced no move, dust, and the AA mode restrictions were just too much for the Commonwealth to overcome. The Germans landed all the gliders without a scratch and were able to lay a single smoke round, allowing the infantry to move up and take one gun position.

The other position fell shortly after the gun malfunctioned. The Commonwealth was then forced to release all infantry driving the number of level 3 hexes required for a win down to a minimum number. The German MMG and HMG led by -2 and -1 leaders assured the ground would not be retaken.
