Overview:

In front of A and C Companies of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, B Company, under the command of Major Duncan Kennedy, was attacking the Schwanenhof farmstead, located a few hundred yards past the Goch-Kalkar road. The Kangaoos dropped the men short of their objective, from where they had to continue their assault over open ground without the benefit of armor support. Lt. Williamson’s platoon provided covering fire and smoke from their 2-inch mortar.

2025-02-13(A) Mark Drake vs Bryan Vieages German winMy dice sucked from get go, rolled 10 on first Weather change DR so rain starts, meaning no Smoke from my mortars. Got worse from there as every time I moved onto ridge Bryan shot me to pieces. Conceded at end of German turn 4 as no way to recover and press on to building objectives over Open Ground in Heavy rain vs fully intact defense. Good game by Bryan.
2022-03-05(D) Vic Lauterbach vs JM Canadian winThe rain held off and Jim got enough smoke to cover one of this two attacking groups until they closed on building LL21. Then his Canucks shrugged off every MC they took rushing building OO23 unlike my reinforcements who got pinned by a LR LMG shot! To win this one, the Germans have to make every shot at the Canadians in OG count, and I missed too many, but Jim's plan was very sound and gave him a solid win. Even an average scenario is fun on an HASL map!
2018-06-28(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs German win
2017-05-24(D) Paolo Cariolato vs Federico Corso German winVery static scenario for the German Defender, between SMOKE, rain and halflings the canadian has a more enjable task. Have seen better scenarios, though.
2016-12-05(A) Andy Beaton vs Jeff Wasserman German winCanadians are in a tough spot if it starts raining. Without smoke cover, it's a long slog through the open plowed fields under German MG fire.
It rained.
