Overview:

After a month of tough fighting the Australian advance along the Levant coast had slowed to a crawl in the face of strong Vichy resistance. Eager to continue the push north of Damour, the Australians sent a company of infantry to set up a roadblock on the coastal road. But the Vichy French were already there with a blocking force of their own. The Vichy had placed a R35 tank on a bridge, blocking the path of the Australians. With no effective anti-tank weaponry, the Australians infiltrated along a gully, breaking cover at the last moment to rush the bridge.
Attacker: Australian (Elements D Co., 2/5th Battalion, 17th Brigade, 7th Australian Infantry Division)

2022-12-29(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best Australian winATR goes for an immobilization on the tank on the bridge and hits, causing the crew to abandon the tank. The 8-1 VF and MMG had to leave the building to try and take back the bridge, but were tied up in CC. The Australians eventually got everyone in CC taking the bridge and the win.
2018-06-27(D) Paul Works vs Matt Evans Vichy French win
2015-01-06(D) Bill Brodie vs Steven Bond Vichy French winA very intense little battle that came down to the last CC DR! The entire Australian OB was wiped out except for one wounded leader, who almost managed to kill the tank on the bridge! Great short scenario that requires both players to be very careful, yet very aggressive, with their small OBs.
2009-05-18(D) David Ramsey vs Martin Barker Australian winDicey - and the dice didn't go my way!
