Overview:

During Operation Diadem, the 1st “Free French” Division was given the task to shield the right flank of the French Mountain Corps which was to lead the main attack into the difficult Aurunci Mountains. On 17th May, the French were progressing quickly along the Liri River valley thanks to the retreat of the German troops after the breakthrough around Monte Petrella. Around noon, the leading elements of the BM11 (March Battalion 11), abandoned by the accompanying tanks that were stopped sooner by mines, were stopped by MG fire coming from fortified houses on both sides of the road.

2022-06-25(D) Ian Morris vs Gerard Free French winLost despite outrageous dice luck, rolling at least eight snakes. Got close to the CVP victory, but couldn’t quite seal it.
2022-06-25(D) Simon Staniforth vs Magnus Rimvall German winMy third playing in a couple of months this time at the Double One tourney. We both bid German and my opponent got the balance. He went hard after the initial on board German forces but couldn’t get control of the Fortified J3 building in the early turns. The German reinforcements all came on the west edge and were able to defeat the majority of the 3rd Company troops and pick up the necessary VP for a win in T4. A good challenge for both sides this smallish infantry only scenario
2022-06-25(D) Richard Webb vs Martin Barker Free French winGreat little scenario at Double One. Lots of decisions and interesting terrain for an infantry only scenario. Came up short on VP locations, due to some silly mistakes and Martin's cunning defense and never say die attitude
2022-06-25(D) David Ramsey vs Mick Allen German winWon by CVP thanks to some CC capturing shenanigans..
2022-06-16(A) Simon Staniforth vs Mick Allen German winMy second playing of this scenario I obviously didn’t learn enough from the first one losing this time as the Free French. More seriously a much tighter game the German player was behind on VP T4 so went very aggressive against one of the 2VP buildings which he was able to capture (Snake eyes in CC!) and hold for a narrow in. Again an enjoyable game
