Overview:

In the pre-dawn darkness at 0535 hours, the first of 41,140 motorized vehicles of Gruppe Kleist drove through the small defenseless Duchy of Luxembourg. Each of the three panzer divisions of Gruppe Kleist had an assigned route of advance, termed a Rollbahn by the panzertruppen. On the northernmost Rollbahn, Generalleutnant Rudolf Veils’ 2nd Panzer Division was held up at the hamlet of Nives. This was the first resistance they had encountered in four hours.
Attacker: German (Schutzen Regiment 2, Panzer Division 2 and reinforcing lead elements of the 4th Panzer Regiment)
Defender: Belgian (1er Compagnie, 1er Regiment de Chasseurs Ardennais)

2026-01-25(D) Tim Reade vs Aaron CleavinD German winPlayed at CANCON 2026.

My Belgians got caught and too remained broken throughout the game, which hindered my ability to slow down the Germans enough to hang on.

Game was conceded at the end of the 5th turn. Aaron played very solidly and deserved the win.

I would go again as the Belgians with the knowledge gained by playing the first time through.
2025-11-01(D) David Garvin vs Tripp Killin Belgian winFor Tussle in the Tundra
2025-11-01(A) Tripp Killin vs David Garvin Belgian winFun little scenario played at Tussle in the Tundra '25. David's Belgians set up more strongly to cover the road on my left, so I made a main thrust through the middle and the more open ground on my right. The plan was to use my little Pzs for SD smoke and hopeful set up first shots against the slightly better Belgian tanks.
That part worked, and I got the low TKs I needed to kill one and then Shock and kill another. My infantry was a bit behind schedule, but by Turn 5 I was in the village, overrunning infantry and trying to freeze the Belgian 9-1 and MG.

The Belgian 9-1 had other ideas. He killed the marauding PzII in First Fire, kept rate, and then turned his MG on my infantry in Final Fire, KIA'ing one stack and breaking my 9-1 stack and 3 squads on a 1MC.
With no time left to rout, rally, and return to the attack, I conceded.
2025-11-01(A) Mark Thompson vs Ron Duenskie (Belgian) Belgian winTussle 2025-Round 4: Lackluster German attack against formidable opponent (and Tournament winner) - with predictable results.
2025-09-22(D) Ingemar Gardell vs Jacob Elmqvist Belgian win
