Overview:
On June 28, as part of the battle in the Scottish Corridor, the 2nd Argylls of the 15th Scottish Division were ordered to cross the Ordon River. Since there were Germans to the front and rear, the battalion had to be stretched out over the entire area. The commander's decision was to keep one company north of the river, two guarding the bridges, and one in the village of Gavrus. On the 29th, as part of the German effort to cut the Corridor, B Company's position in Gavrus was subjected to a sudden, fierce attack.Attacker: German (SS) (Kompanie 7, SS-Panzer-Abteilung 10, SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 22, SS Panzer Division 10)
Defender: British (B Company, 2nd Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, 15th Scottish Division)

| 2024-06-12 | (D) Daniel Soukup | vs | Patrick | Draw | We had to end the game early due to time; this is likely a German win but there is enough doubt to call it a "draw." By the end of German turn 4, it was clear that CVP would be in favor of the Germans. However, it was not certain the Germans would be able to control all the necessary buildings. Fun game, but it feels like British concealment (such as 12 concealment counters) would really help to balance this one out. | ||
| 2022-01-17 | (A) Eric Topp | vs | Jason Nichols | German (SS) win | Jason had poor luck with his MC. By turn 3, the Germans had taken many prisoners without losing much in return so he conceded. | ||
| 2022-01-17 | (D) Jason Nichols | vs | Eric Topp | German (SS) win | Setup wasn't optimal and I failed to use my OBA on the opening turn which was a mistake. Poor LOS from the steeple and the fact Eric's panzers were able to keep it covered in smoke didn't help. My ATG missed an opportunity to take a shot at a MkIV and Eric was able to infiltrate with half-squads around the British positions. Fragile morale meant my broken squads were quickly captured and I lacked the strength to hold on to the village. Would probably make a better fist of things if was re-played. | ||
