Overview:

The entire area was dominated by the smokestacks of the giant steel factory at Colombelles. These smokestacks were the ideal observation posts over the battlefield for the Germans. General Montgomery decided on an operation to take these smokestacks out, aptly called OPERATION STACK, and the 51st (Highland) Division was tasked to carry it out. Just before first light, the 1st Gordons' "B" and "C" Companies moved up right along the Orne's towpath while "A" & "D" Companies moved up the left into Colombelles. "B" Company managed to take some houses, but ran into a German platoon strongpoint bustling with machineguns.

2022-01-01(D) Maurizio Mai vs Fabio Mazzucchelli German winInteresting scenario but seems difficult for the British. The German set the wires on a SW/NE line to cut the Victory Area in two. Most of the units were on the south area. Bad rolls on the British rallies helped the outcome of the scenario. The mortar run out of smoke quickly and limited the ability to move of the British.
2021-08-06(A) Rick Galli vs Brian Kaschyk British win
2021-07-24(A) Pascal Boileau vs Todd Hively British winThe British troops decided to attack from the northwest. The first three turns were undecided but since most of the losses were in the German side, the British troops progressed unmolested. The reinforcements rushed for occupying the buildings in the southeast. However, the British awaiting them from advantageous positions and the German fresh troops were scattered. Nevertheless, the issue of the game was decided at the end of the last German turn !
