Overview:

The German 5th Panzer Division, under the command of Rommel, was attacking the British east of the La Basee Canal. The 2nd Battalion of the Dorsetshire Regiment pulled back from the village of Gorre and set up their defenses in the town of Festubert. “D” Company was in the northern end of town. A few stragglers from the battalion’s armored transport had returned to Festubert after a German tank platoon had smashed the fleeing British column. Following up the few vehicles which had managed to return to the perimeter, the panzers appeared on the northern outskirts of the village. . .

2022-02-20(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German winDicey but fun to play with the small German tanks and smoke dispensers. Came up the left flank against the defense and made slow and steady progress. Brits rolled 2 12's on MCs causing some CRs and greatly affecting his defense.
