Overview:

In the wake of the failure of Operation MARKET GARDEN, the Allied High Command launched Operation PHEASANT, the liberation of Northern Holland. The thorn in the side of the Allied advance northward was the Dutch town of s-Hertogenbosch, which was defended by the veteran 712th Infanterie-Division. As the first part of the liberation of that city, the 53rd Welsh Division launched an attack on Nuland, one of the small towns directly to the east. The attack was supported by armor of the 141st Regiment, which included the much-feared Churchill Crocodile, a flamethrowing tank of withering destructive potential.
Attacker: British (Elements of 71st and 160th Brigades, 53rd (Welsh) Division and 141st Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps)
Defender: German (Elements of the 712. Infanterie-Division)

2023-04-01(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2023-03-18(A) Dave Mareske vs Mark Sockwell British winThe Germans had a strong up-front defense which the Brits were able to get behind and find their way into the buildings. The Crocodile was able to flame some squads and a tank causing the reinforcements to have little effect.
2023-03-03(D) Asad Rustum vs Olav Heie British winPlayed this at ASO2023. I bid B0. Some initial success with surprises for the Brits but a too front-heavy German defence, especially with the guns, was no match for Olav's Germans.
2023-03-03(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs Olivier German winASL Scandinavian Open round 1. The Crocodile fired 5 shots without affecting his enemies much, then became immobilized by the PaK40 which was positioned in front of the church, making it impossible to take the church. Great opponent.
2023-03-02(A) Jim Bishop vs Magnus Rimvall British winPlayed at ASO. I bid A1, allowing the defender to exchange 2X4-6-7s for 2X4-6-8s. Crocodile never really gets into the game as it moves too slowly. The defender had some early success slowing the attack but once the Brit's reached usable TEM, the tide turned decisively. One interesting piece was 2Xhs moving into CC with the 76L crew and 1X4-6-8. The hs won the ambush, eliminated the Gun crew, and survived the attack back. In the next round, the hs eliminate the 4-6-8, survive, capture and re-crew the Gun. In the next Prep Fire phase, the hs turn the gun and eliminate the German half track parked near by. Magnus conceded at 12 buildings plus the church when it was clear I was going to have no problems taking the rest of the buildings needed for the win.
