Overview:

During Operation Market Garden, the 7th Somersets, the lead battalion of the 214th Brigade was to push through Oosterhaut and link up with Polish paratroopers at Driel. Traffic chaos in the city resulted in a planned pre-dawn attack being delayed. Nevertheless, the link-up could not be delayed, for the British across the Rhine were in desperate straits by then. In full light the Germans, bolstered during the night with a headquarters infantry battalion and a company of Panthers, were prepared to give them a bloody time of it.

2024-12-10(D) Robert Wiebe vs Dave British win3 hrsAnother win for the British. The Panther proved a very valuable asset, but too many PIAT shots saw it finally fall. Surprisingly, the British 2xMMG, 9-2 deathstar on 22W8 2nd level, proved rather ineffective, as the German stayed in-depth, out of sight, or concealed, so even a 4FP 0DRM shot kept missing with no RoF to speak of. Snipers also played a key part of the British attack, as theirs broke a German 468, then CRd it to boot. German sniper was ineffective and non-existent. Game lasted 7 Turns with the Germans making a fatal error of leaving an overwatch position in 22F5 2nd level on their turn 6. This meant during the British Turn 7 most units could make an end run around the central stone building key to the defense.

The shining moment of course, was Dave rolling a CH on his mortar shot at a concealed 467, LMG, 9-1, then rolling a 3 on the IFT (-2 DRM)...so much for the Panther's close protection unit.
2024-12-10(D) Robert Wiebe vs British German win

(VASL Log)		2.5 hrsSolo playthrough, mimicking the setup that my regular f-t-f used in our last game. Turned into a much closer game, but a victory for the Germans this time. In part, this was due to several key German rallies blocking the eastern map edge, while a single 468 would break, generate a hero, and become fanatic while trying to protect the Panther; the tank died in Turn 3 when I should have moved it away instead, but it was able to suppress the, potentially lethal, British deathstar stack of 2xMMG, and a 9-2. The latter was broken and forced to retreat and was never an issue for the subsequent battle. Back and forth with the die rolls, but the dice gods left the British near the latter half of the game.
