Overview:
On May 22, German tanks reached Boulogne and split the Allied armies at the Somme River. The British 1st Armoured Division, in France for less than four days, was ordered to retake three river crossings with the support of lorry-borne Territorials from the Border Regiment. But when Lt. Gavin of the Queen’s Bays topped the last hill before the bridge, smoke from the woods below told his troop that the infantry had arrived before them – and blundered into an ambush. The Dragoons advanced to the rescue.Attacker: German (Infantarie-Regiment 5 and Aufklärungs-Abteilung 2, Infanterie-Division 2 (mot.))
Defender: British (D Company, 4th Battalion, Border Regiment, "Beauforce" and HQ and 4 Troop, C Squadron, 2nd Dragoon Guards, 1st Armoured Division)

| 2025-01-21 | (D) Louis Langdeau | vs | Steve S | British win | Love the setup here. Steve played really well, but a lucky shot on my side broke a key MG spot for him that was holding up the middle of his ring around me. I pushed through and FTRed the troops, which then gave me a route off board. Steve still made a very close play for it by pushing his armored cars very aggressively, but I managed to get enough off to call it in my favor. | ||
