Overview:
Having secured most of the small village of St. Lambert-sur-Dives with a quick strike the day before, Major David Vivian Currie of the South Alberta Regiment, consolidated his mixed force of tanks and infantry around the main bridge across the Dives River, which was really a little creek by mid-summer. As the remains of the German 7. Armee attempted to escape between the Polish and US troops to the east near Mt. Ormel and Chambois and the Canadian First Army advancing from the west towards Trun, many of the fleeing Germans believed the route through St. Lambert to still be open, but instead ran into Currie's small but well-prepared battle group. At first, many of the would-be escapee's were taken by surprise and captured on the spot, but as the day on the desperate (and potency) of the German counterattacks increased.Attacker: German (Infanterie-Division 352 with Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 5 and Panzer-Division 2)
Defender: Canadian (C Squadron,South Alberta Regiment and B Company, Argyll and Southern Highlanders)

2024-05-09 | (D) Paolo Cariolato | vs | Federico Corso | Canadian win | My opponent sent everyone on his left flank except some token force in the middle. He took horrendous losses but since numbers have a quality of their own, the difference started to tell. my infantry managed to stay away from his firepower, but AFVs couldn't, and I lost 4 Sherman during the course of the scenario, one for a stupid mistake since I forgot about a PSK 4 hexes away, and bocage was not enough to save my bacon. There was an 18 CVP differential in the last turn. He had a Panther, 2 PzIV and 1 squad with a 8-1 that could exit. The AFV had to take a BOG check and the Pz. IV ESP for 1 and 2 MPs on top of that all units had to run the gauntlet of the last Sherman GUN and MGs, a 3 hexes PIAT and the fire from 4 squads well led. It was not easy but not impossible either. the Panther exited, but then the first PzIV bogged exiting the stream while the other rolled boxcars on the ESB roll. That was game over. Nice scenario with high replay value. | ||
2024-04-06 | (A) Jason Wert | vs | Chris Hannum | German win | |||
2023-01-03 | (D) Rob MacGinley | vs | James Short | Canadian win | A real board endge battle Can atatck any direction and Candians just swing to block teh advance EVP have to make it thru He missed by a small amount so I think balanced | ||
2022-06-10 | (A) Martí Cabré | vs | Massimiliano Colosimo | German win | Round 2 of Roma 2022. I was the Germans and decided to go west with the first two groups, using the bocage as cover and the board edge as protection. I had to do some attacks across the stream and I was stalled there. From the third group three vehicles went east to stop the Canadians from closing on the main group, I lost two vehicles but the third managed to exit for EVP. On the west side, on the last turn I managed to exit enough units for a win, after many close fire lanes, to hit rolls and broken morales. | ||
2022-04-09 | (A) Indy Lagu | vs | Chris Pavle | German win | Tough for both sides, for different reasons. The Brits need to fall back...Chris tried an upfront defence and, I think, fell back too late. As the Germans, I thought there was no way I could get anyone off board. The Germans have a looong way to go, but have the advantage of numbers. I was lucky to break his 10-2 early and keep him under DM for most of the game. Chris' upfront strategy almost worked, but once the facade began to crumble, his defence fell apart. Give this one a go! |
