Having been informed that German armored vehicles had engaged British elements further back in the supply chain, Major Parker, the commander of A Company of the 5th Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry, decided to set up an ambush for those vehicles at the crossroads.

2023-02-10(A) Itinerant Hobbyist vs German winPlaying solo it tough because british should be hidden. But it's a great scenario to start learning LATW and Tanks.
2021-06-24(A) Ian Morris vs Gerard burton German winGerard took out one Tiger, but the other two manoeuvred to kill a Piat half squad for FTR, and stay far enough away from the other two to secure a win.
2020-06-14(D) Kevin Sanders vs DerekD British winGamey mess of a small scenario...Pop up the Brits, fire and hope for the best. Our game was interesting in that a AFV CC happened - missed. And a Crit Piat shot for the win. 2 dead Tigers and one shocked and immobilized. Guess its a good way to introduce new terrain in DaE.
2020-06-06(D) Derek Dunn vs Bruce Carson German winEven with the balance, the British lost bad. I don't mind losing, but it wasn't a fun scenario. Good for introducing the Elst terrain.
2020-03-20(D) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best German winWow...my British got spanked hard in this game. I didn't take down a single Tiger and by Turn 3 I was completely eliminated.
