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(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
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.
2020-01-26(D) Tripp Killin vs Sebastian Killin German winPIAT's fired. Some missed, the others bounced. Tigers wasted the now-revealed infantry. Kind of neat for a 15 minute scenario.
2019-08-08(A) Herve Duval vs In progress
2019-05-05(D) Vic Lauterbach vs Robert Campbell German winQuick little scenario - not very challenging or memorable but a good primer on the Elst map special terrain. I believe one Tiger remained mobile for the win.
2018-12-28(A) nathan wegener vs Peter Wegener German winBrits broke device on only clean PIAT shot. Germans routed the defenders.
2018-07-31(A) O Ramaille vs German winThe tigers entered cautiously and suffered some PIAT fire without effect. With the british ambushers revealed, the tigers fired at them forcing them to retreat. The ambush was soon over without any wreck. A full German victory.
2018-07-31(A) O Ramaille vs German winAnother game with no Tiger lost and British units on the rout. The British revealed themselves too soon. However, the Tigers have just to enter and wait for the Brits to attack them. A scenario in favor of the Germans.
2016-10-11(A) fabrizio da pra vs Franco Merci German winIt seemed to be easy for the German, I killed most of the englishmen without a loss in the firm 1 1/2 turn, then an half squad run for an abandoned PIAT, resisted all the deadly fire from the tigers and in the last 1 1/2 turn was able to destry one Tiger, immobilize another (the crew also abandoned the tank) and shock the third one, wich unfortunaltely for the British recovered in the last round for a German win.
2016-04-09(A) JP Laurio vs Arttu German win
2016-04-05(A) JP Laurio vs German win
2015-03-10(D) Shawn Shifflett vs Jeromy French German winFun game. I failed to research my PIATs, and didn't realize that they did not suffer from backblasts. Exciting scenario.
2014-07-04(D) nathan wegener vs Peter W German winA reverse bug hunt - hide from troops you cant see. No time for either side to make a mistake.
