Overview:

At 1130 hours the southern spearhead Schnelle Gruppe Mitte (Rapid-Advance Group Centre) of Infantry Regiment (Motorized) Leibstandarte reached the bridge at Zutphen and determined that the Ijssel crossing at had been destroyed. From the upper floor of one of the higher buildings the Germans could recognize the first Dutch positions. These were bunkers built into the slope of the western riverbank and stretched several hundred metres across level meadowlands. Oberstrumführer Frey received the order to force a crossing immediately in assault-troop fashion.

2024-09-16(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna German (SS) winWhat a fun scenario! Nick's forces got over in fairly good order, but unfortunately (for me), many of my first line squads became 2nd line in the pre-game TC. Still, had a blast!
2014-11-08(D) patrick palma vs Jim Traver German (SS) win
2012-03-03(D) Jeff Waldon vs Frank Tozier Dutch winVASL-The German movement to the river and the disembarkation after crossing were disrupted by accurate Dutch rifle and machine-gun fire. The German FO position was spotted by the Dutch and eliminated by a subsequent HMG ROF tear. One Dutch bunker was captured within the small German bridgehead by the scenario end.
2012-03-03(A) Frank Tozier vs Dutch Dutch winInteresting scenario. German player should try to use 3 landing spots. Oba hindrances in the first few turns are a must.
2006-12-21(D) Davide Bendazzi vs Robert McGinley German (SS) win
