Overview:

Early on the second day of Operation PLUNDER, units of 15th (Scottish) Division crossed the unfinished Autobahn to their front. Resistance from scattered German units was light, so a recon section of two armored cars was sent to scout the Royal Scots Fusilliers’ objective, a bridge across the steeply-banked Issel Stream in the vicinity of Loikum. Though contact was the armored cars was lost, a company of Fusilliers was sent towards Loikum around noon to secure the vital bridge – and the surrounding farm buildings – to support the continued advance of 15th Division.
Attacker: British (6th Royal Scots Fusiliers, 44th Infantry Brigade, 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division)

2022-03-10(A) Andy Bagley vs Ian Ainsworth German winOne of the quickest scenarios I’ve ever played, as the Brits exceeded their CVP cap by the end of Turn 2! A buffalo plus passengers fell to a Psk, a Sherman was knocked out by a hit from a well-hidden AT halftrack, and consecutive DRs of 4,3, and 2 took care of infantry trying to cross open ground.
This seems a tough one for the Brits, since all German units are HIP at start. So if the Brits guess wrong as to where the Germans are, and the dice go against them, then it isn’t much fun.
2021-06-12(A) Stephen dedier vs Mike Johnston German winI was probably too tentative with the Roo's and my armor since this is only a 5 turn game.
i unloaded on the hedges near the town and held the Shermans back to put down smoke. One tank lost smoke on the first shot but put a round in the town.
I took the town and got units across the river on turn 4 but hadn't caused any significant casualties or revealed half of the Germans. My Brits were crippled as they tried to come out of the river giving me no chance to meet the VC on turn 5.
