Overview:

After a month the British and Commonwealth campaign against Vichy forces in Syria was coming to a close. The coastal town of Damour was the last major Vichy outpost before the key city of Beirut. The Vichy commander in the Damour region, allocated a battalion of tough Algerians in the defense of the southern approaches to the village which was covered by banana groves. Artillery pieces and armored cars provided additional support. Lightly armed Australian pioneers supported by tanks and carriers crossed the Damour River and pushed forward into the Vichy positions.

2021-07-23(A) nathan wegener vs Scott Martin Australian winSmoked out the forward Vichy defense and my armour swirled around causing havoc. My dice were hot and opponents were not which made the outcome ugly. StL2021
2021-07-13(D) O Ramaille vs Eric W Vichy French winThe Vichy French setup his foxholes just in front of the first building objective in order to create a defensive strongpoint. Dummies and one HS were waiting upfront under the banana trees to make the Australian lose some time. The Australian attacked frontally and soon a Carrier was recalled by sniper shot. The few upfront units slowly withdrew and slipped on the Australian flanks. The advance of the Australian was cautious and their assault was held back by the French. Some units tried to use mortars from the hills but they did not have enough LOS to be effective. The French armor counterattack to the rear of the Australian defense causing some mayhem and closing the trap. The Australians were surrounded with several broken units eliminated from failure to rout. A complete Vichy victory.
2021-06-27(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best Australian winMy Australians moved straight into the orchard and by the end of Turn 1, I had lost a tank and 2 carriers to the 75 ARTY. But the smoke from burning wrecks allowed my infantry to move into the building complex. A seesaw battle ultimately ended with an Australian win.
2021-06-26(D) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins Australian win
2021-06-25(D) Ian Morris vs Martin Mayers Vichy French winMartin hustled his troops forward and was next to my final line on turn 4, but couldn’t pass a MC for love or money. Lot to do for the Australians.
2021-06-11(A) Eric Topp vs John Fedoriw Australian winAfter several abortive attempts by myself to do a competent Vichy defence, John had a go. I ran out of Smoke with two MTR but the third did the job. With the help of the Smoke Hindrance and suicidal Carrier attacks, my Aussie infantry moved in. On the final turn, Advancing Fire broke the remaining Vichy defenders.
2021-05-17(D) X von Marwitz vs David Wallace Vichy French winSmall action in Syria in 1941 pitting a force of Australians supported by light and fast AFV against the Vichy French that have to defend a couple of buildings and just hope to hang on.

2021-05-15(A) Simon Staniforth vs Australian winPlenty of Aussie squads got broke in the initial assault but they rallied back and were able to push hard in the penultimate turn. Encirclement fire and enforcing failure to rout won the day and the Vichy player conceded with his few remaining squads either in Melee or about to be. No mobile AFVs left by game end
2021-05-12(A) patrick palma vs Fabio Mazzucchelli Australian win
2021-04-30(A) Rick Galli vs Brian Kaschyk Australian win
2021-04-16(D) nathan wegener vs Ron Schatz Vichy French winAussies struggled to find smoke and the Vichy defense stood fast.
