Overview:

In their attempts to stem the German advance to Calais and other port cities, the British dispatched the 3rd Royal Tank Brigade, composed of the 2nd king's Royal Rifles and the 1st Queen's Victoria Rifles. On 23 May, these units sallied aggressively out of Calais, attempting to breach the German line and, under a heavy rain, hit the 10th Panzer Division in the flank. In Guines, elements of a recon unit had already taken up positions with the support of an anti-tank gun. The British attempted to clear this force and continue their drive east.

2020-04-28(D) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German winWhat a riot of a game. Lots of back and forth. Came down to the last CC and the Brits needed to roll a 6 for the win...they rolled an 8. German's AT gun was in P8, but it had little affect on the game, but the crew won some CCs and ended up controlling one of the buildings. Anything can happen in a game of ASL.
2020-04-23(D) Pascal Boileau vs Bruno Bonhomme German winA tremendous scenario ! The British infantry did a good job but before the last turn all their AFV were destroyed. Therefore, the German troops helped by two tanks were able to recapture one building from the 6 conquered by the British forces and denied the victory to the allies in their last APh. Many thanks to Bruno for his helpful advices during the game.
2020-04-15(D) David Ford vs Dan McGuire British winPoorly placed AT gun was discovered by the Brits early on allowing their tanks an unhindered approach to the walls surrounding the town. After that British firepower took its toll and they captured the required amount of buildings to win
2020-04-04(A) Jeff Waldon vs Derek Ritter German winVASL - MMP COVID-19 Tournament Game
2020-04-04(A) David Ramsey vs Greg Smith German winVASL-COVID Tourney Rd 1:

Lost too many tanks when they all panicked due to the well-placed AT gun (in p8).

Won most of the infantry war but without tank support the German tanks were too strong.
