Overview:

Following the costly failure of Operation MARKET GARDEN, the Allied High Command launched Operation PHEASANT, the liberation of southern Holland. The thorn in the side of the Allied advance northward was the Dutch town of s-Hertogenbosch, which was defended by the veteran 712th Infanterie-Division. As the first part of the liberation of that city, the 53rd Welsh Division launched an attack on Nuland, one of the small towns directly to the east. The attack was supported by armor of the 141st Regiment, which included the much-feared Churchill Crocodile, a flamethrowing tank of withering destructive potential.
Attacker: British (71st and 160th Brigades, 53rd (Welsh) Division and 141st Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps)

2024-12-05(D) Mark Thompson vs Bret Hildenbran British winAlbany 2024-Round 1. The German defense featured the 50LAT in the graveyard in front of the Church, the 75LAT behind it, shooting down the narrow village road, the HMG shooting down the main approach road (with 2AT mine in main intersection in plain view), and MMG in the Steeple. The Brits successfully smoked in the MMG and skillfully attritted the German squads (and the HMG crew) while staying out of PF range. The one highlight for the Germans was the 50LAT, which resembled the HMG in successive rate tears that delayed the assault on the Church for a few turns. By the time the German reinforcements were to enter, the Church was soon to fall and the best counterstroke for the Germans was to take back several multi-hex buildings. To do so, they needed to take significant risk with rapid entry - the STUG survived, the Ht (with 1.5 squads) did not > German concession. A good scenario and well played by Bret.
2024-10-25(D) nathan wegener vs Bob Bendis German winPassed my morale checks and kept control of the church
2023-08-29(A) Andy Beaton vs Jeff Wasserman DrawHad to call it due to lateness. I think my British had the edge, the two Churchill VI's were out but the Croc was incinerating as it went. I have learned, however, not to count on a victory just because I'm doing well in the mid game so it's a draw.
